Palm Pixi Now Available

Palm has finally released its Pixi, a tiny, sleek webOS-based handset
is due on the Sprint network in time for the holidays. With a visible
full keyboard and rubberized back cover, Palm Pixi is especially handy
for extensive messaging and social networking.
The phone will hit shelves sans-WiFi (EV-DO Rev. A only here), with
8GB of storage onboard (a nice bump up from the rumored 4GB), 2
megapixel camera (with flash), a full QWERTY keyboard, and a minute,
2.63-inch, 320 x 400 capacitive display.
For starters, the phone is really quite handsome. In terms of
industrial design, the clean lines and smart choices in materials
belie the Pixi’s likely price-point. In your hands it feels solid,
though it’s shocking just how tiny it is. The standard backing is a
soft-touch material (not unlike the Touchstone back for the Pre), and
perhaps due to the lack of moving parts here, the phone feels really
well put together. Just as with the Pre, the Pixi includes a ringer on
/ off switch and 3.5mm headphone jack, as well as a removable 1150mAh
battery.
Overall, it’s definitely slimmer, lighter and more pocket-able than
the Pre. It has almost all the same features—no Wi-Fi won’t affect
your ability to download apps or music—so you’re not missing on that
much stuff if for some reason you choose the Pixi over the Pre.
