The Pixon’s touch moves may not be as fluid as the Apple iPhone 3G but the touchscreen is still receptive to your taps and swipes. But our ticklish concerns take back seat to the Pixon photographic prowess with the eight megapixel shutterbug taking...

How can you have a flashy phone with no Xenon flash?
Screen gets smudged easily
Interface/function navigation takes a bit of getting used to
As a leading camphone
The absence of a Xenon flash is mystifying. Its dual LED is too hit and miss to be consistently effective in low lighting conditions making this Xenon no show even more galling. Similarly

If you’re looking for a camera phone with a touchscreen then the Pixon is worth checking out. It would have been better with a xenon flash and Wi-Fi but there are alternatives out there with those missing features. We would suggest avoiding this phone ...

Lack of Wi-Fi; LED, rather than superior xenon flash; no 3.5mm headphone jack

Abstract: A day after we tell you all about the Pixxon we manage to our grubby little paw on it! The downside was that we had to film in a very *pink* room, but you still get the idea.

The less-sharp display is a downer as is the absence of WIFI. The small screen size mars the mood too. But look beyond these minuses and here is a solid phone with an excellent camera, internet connectivity and terrific audio performance. Plus the pric...
