Palm Announces the Palm Pixi - Coming to Sprint in Time for the Holidays!

Palm, today, introduced the Palm® Pixi™ phone for faster, more intuitive and personal communication in a compact and customizable design. With the instinctively useable Palm webOS™ platform, strikingly thin design, a visible full keyboard and fashionable personalization options, Palm Pixi lets you express yourself in amazingly useful ways. It’s scheduled to be available from Sprint in time for the holidays.

• In addition to linking your information from Google™, Facebook and Exchange ActiveSync, Palm Pixi adds Yahoo! and LinkedIn integration to Palm Synergy™ and assembles it all in a single view.


• Complementing the phone’s already rich Facebook integration with the contacts, phone, calendar and photo applications, a new Facebook application will be available with Palm Pixi, so you can easily update your status, see the latest feeds from your friends, and browse your friends’ photo albums.


• The phone’s full QWERTY keyboard puts it all at your fingertips, and the multi-touch screen lets you move back and forth between open applications using natural gestures.


• The unique removable back cover is rubberized, making it scratch-resistant, slip-resistant and durable.
