Sprint and Palm to Launch the Pixi

Last time we saw the Palm Pixi you probably recall me not being too happy about it especially in terms of appearance. Since back then it wasn’t clear when it would be available (except that it would come before Santa), Sprint has come up with a new announcement letting us know about more of its features as well as when and where it will be available for purchase. And since it has been quite a while, maybe they have a few surprises in store as well.

Well now, remember I mentioned that it looked like a phone that was made for the masses (aka one that will be quite cheap to acquire)? Well, seeing how it will cost you just 99.99USD with a two-year service agreement, I am pretty sure I hit that one right on the spot. As for the design of the device, nothing has changed and it still looks as… ‘not so good looking’ as the last time. I don’t think I am the only one who thinks those keys just don’t belong there!

“We are excited to offer the new Palm Pixi to our customers in time for the holiday season, and it’s a great addition to Sprint’s industry-leading device portfolio,” said Kevin Packingham, senior vice president, Product Development, Sprint. “Simply put, this phone is fun and easy to use; with its multi-touch screen and full QWERTY keyboard, it’s a great device for messaging and social networking at a price everyone can enjoy, and delivers so many of the great features people love about Palm Pre in a fantastic new form factor, making it a huge hit for consumers.”

The device comes with the same webOS as the Palm Pre as well as with a number of socializing options that allow you to receive information and updates from Google, Facebook, Microsoft Exchange, LinkedIn and even Yahoo! While lacking the glamor and sparkle of the Pre, Palm Pixi has all it takes (good OS, very good price) to become a favorite especially among teenagers!
