Now we can all FAQ ourselves!  laugh

The backup feature, does it cost anything more?

Nope, it’s all included for free as a part of the service provided by Palm included with your Pixi.

What happens to my phone when it’s in USB Mode?

All calls are routed to voicemail when the Pixi is in USB Mode. Slight downer, I know – but how often are you really gonna have the Pixi in USB Mode? And even then, not more than a couple minutes @ a time.

What IM services will the Pixi support for real-time status indicators?

Google Talk (GTalk) and AIM at launch. Do you really know anyone without a Gmail address?

In the Calendar, can I choose my own colors for the appointments?

Yes! it’s easily selectable, or can sync with your Outlook category colors with Exchange.

What about the web browser, can I disable cookies?

Yep, it’s an option in the Web Pixiferences.

How do I get the calendar to do the cool ‘compress’ when displaying?

Simple! it just has to be a block of time that’s 2 hours or more.

Can you have multiple IM conversations going at the same time?

Yes, the possibilities are limitless – talk to everyone, share the Pixi love!

Office 2007 – Any issues?

Nope. Go ahead, tell your boss about it, and bring it to work. Welcome to life with the Pixi – it just works!

Can I use Pictbridge (wirelessly sending pics to a printer)?

There’s not a profile for it yet. Hang in there, grasshopper.

With the new webOS, what about virus protection?

The core is not open, and isn’t subject to any viruses, in other words, you’re covered!

What about Calltones?

Would you expect any less? It’s a network feature, so they’re 100% supported, no problems.

Can I save music as a ring tone for my Pixi?

Sure, customize it all you want.

Family locator – can I track my son with his Pixi?

While it’s great you’d get a Pixi for your son (umm, sure!, lol), you won’t be able to track lil Timmy with it just yet using Family Locator.

Can I take videos with my Palm Pixi?

Not at launch, but hang in there as great things are on the way, and as the Palm Pixi uses the webOS, updates are just a gesture away!

Can I send pictures as a text message?

Using MMS, of course. You can’t however crop pictures yet, so be aware of any size limitations the receiving person may have with their device or carrier, or adjust the camera settings.

That’s all for now! Don’t forget about the folks over at SprintGurus, where you can discuss not only these Palm Pixi FAQs, but anything Sprint related. I do monitor and reply to the comments here on the blog as time permits, but there’s a great community of people there that are very knowledgeable, and if you’re looking to discuss Sprint or the Pixi, it’s the place to be!

I know alot of people who do not use Gmail, including myself, and I do not use AIM.  I use Earthlink mal and Yahoo Messenger.  I hope and pray a Yahoo Messenger app will come out very soon and not make me wait like they did for Iphone users.

Nice Post!!   Cool

There still are A LOT of Yahoo and Live Mail users... Palm won't forget all those, there are to many.

Does that mean there will be a webOS version of Office or it will just be able to read office?

I'm really really glad with the custom ringtones! I love having like Gorilla Zoe on my ringer. And not only are they free but you can pick which part of the song you want! Grin

I wish they would have covered more regarding Outlook.  Will it support multiple folders in Inbox and sync from Outlook Inbox folders?  Will it support color coded appointments and events from Outlook Calendar?  I just finished talking online to Palm tech and he told me it will sync with Outlook stand alone and support Yahoo Messenger at launch. I told him that is not what Palm is saying.  All he said is that it will do it all.  I have a feeling even he does not know much about the phone.

I can't wait for round 3! They got a bunch of small questions out of the way. Round 3 would most likely be the big guns!
