It seems all the articles on the Pixi from CrunchGear are negative. They recently posted an article where they took the cons section off 5 different reviews. Anyone know what they have against the Pixi?

This is completely pointless! Taking excerpts only from the negative parts in the review.. great job, really. They are completely taking it out of the context! I wrote that in a comment, too.

I don't think we should just sit here and complain that they are being biased (even though it is very true). But you must understand that the article is also titled "Here's what's wrong with the Palm Pixi".

I'm sure people at Palm are reading this and considering it *somewhat* constructive criticism (which it really isn't) and trying to fix things they actually can - namely the App Catalog, bugs, and other software issues.

If people were to decide on the phone by JUST this article, I would consider them ill-informed.

Pixi FTW!!

Writing a biased article for a blog is nothing special. But he takes it to the limit.. he takes all the negative excerpts without the following "buts" and without the very positive wrap-ups, which gives a completely false impression. Even if you state in the beginning that it is just about the cons, you just cannot do that because you take it completely out of the context! There is a reason why you should read the whole review, people might just read his glorious article (if you even want to call it that, it took him 5 minutes) and think "ah well this phone is obviously so much worse than an iPhone if you can fill a whole article with the bad parts".

The comments say the same thing by the way Grin
