"powered by the somewhat feeble OMAP850 hobbling along at 201MHz"
It's the same CPU as the HTC Wizard (MDA Vario), and they perform fine at 195mhz.
That's only marginally slower than the Intel Xscale CPU's running at 400mhz, and for a budget device, perfectly adequate, it's just a different CPU architecture, so don't let the clock speeds confuse you.
That CPU can easily be overclocked to at least 250mhz, sometimes 275mhz which then brings it's performance somewhere between a 400-520mhz xscale, with no noticeable issues.
“The general size and shape certainly calls forth memories of the Centro, but while the previous version was chunky and playful, the Pixi comes off more like its distant cousin... from the year 3000.”
