Palm is gearing up to launch the Pixi on November 15 on the Sprint network in the U.S. The Pixi is Palm’s second phone running webOS, and uses a candybar format with exposed QWERTY keyboard. The Pixi is Palm’s “budget” phone, and will be offered for $99 to Sprint customers signing a new 2-year contract. This price is after a $50 instant rebate and a $100 mail-in rebate.
The Pixi will be available through Sprint directly, as well as Best Buy, Radio Shack and Walmart stores nationwide. Palm is excited about the addition to their new phone line.
“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.”
