Sprint Palm Pixi Becomes Official Palm Pixi Release Date & Price Confirmed

A few weeks ago we were pretty solid that the Palm Pixi from October 20,
but things took a wrong twist and the company's second webOS handset
needs one more month before getting in stores. That's because Sprint and
Palm went official today and announced that November 15 is going to be
the first day of nationwide availability for the little Pixi.

In a press release today, Sprint revealed what we already knew, that the
Palm Pixi comes with a visible full QWERTY keyboard and a 2.63-in
multi-touch TFT capacitive touchscreen display (320ร—400 resolution)
with gestural navigation. On top of that there's Bluetooth, 8GB of
built-in memory to store the pictures and videos you take, integrated
GPS for location-based services and an accelerometer. Connectivity wise,
you'll have to count on Sprint s EV-DO Rev. A network for Internet
access as there's no Wi-Fi.

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.

Palm Pixi will be available on Sprint starting November 15th and will
cost just $99.99 with a two-year service agreement, after a $50 instant
rebate and $100 mail-in rebate.
