We are going to compare Palm Pixi and BlackBerry Curve 8530 today. Both phones have full QWERTY keyboard, which makes typing much easier on such small devices. Palm Pixi vs. Blackberry Curve 8530 will largely depend on the prices, in my opinion. Major difference? Non-touch vs. touch screen. But the new Curve has a very attractive price of $0.00 while the Pixi is offered at $69.99 $0.00 without rebates. Who wins, check out the detail comparisons below and decide for yourself.
