Palm has announced that the Pixi – a tiny webOS-based handset – will come to Sprint this holiday season. The phone will hit shelves without Wi-Fi, only with EVDO Revision A, with 8GB of storage onboard, a 2 megapixel camera with flash, a full QWERTY keyboard, and a 2.63-inch, 320×400 capacitive multitouch display. The Palm Pixi is the successor of the Centro. Compared to the Palm Pre, the Pixi introduces a native Facebook application, as well as new Yahoo! and LinkedIn integration for Synergy. Along with the new device, Palm offers five artist-designed back covers which can be purchased separately, included in the “Palm Pixi Artist Series”, similar to Zune Originals and Dell’s Design Studio laptops.
Intensely criticized for its too high price of Pre, compared to the rival iPhone, as well as for the small application store and lower performance, Palm is putting all its hope in the new released Pixi smartphone, exclusively meant for Sprint.
The Pixi smartphone will be available in the carrier’s stores on the 15th of November at a price of $100 on contract and with a $50 immediate rebate as well as a mail-in rebate of $100. It also works with the Touchstone inductive charging dock, but it will need an $80 add-on and a $20 back shell to enable wireless charging.
