Palm has finally announced its second WebOS smartphone, officially called Palm Pixi (previously known as Palm Eos or Palm Pixie). Measuring 4.37-inch x 2.17-inch x 0.43-inch and weighing at just 99.5 grams, the Palm Pixi is claimed as the slimmest Palm smartpone. The candy-bar handset comes equipped with a 2.63-inch (320×400) touchscreen display, a 2MP fixed-focus camera with LED flash, a full QWERTY keypad, and access to the Palm Beta App Catalog, which includes entertainment and social networking applications like Yelp and Local Concerts by iLike. The back cover of Palm Pixi is rubberized, which makes the phone scratch-resistant and durable. The Palm Pixi comes with Palm Synergy, which links your information from Google, Exchange ActiveSync, Facebook, Yahoo! and LinkedIn. Other features include a GPS receiver, a Bluetooth 2.1 with EDR and A2DP, a 8GB of storage, and a 3.5mm Jack. Unfortunately, the handset doesn’t have Wi-Fi. Sprint is offering the Palm Pre for only $149.99 (after a $150 instant rebate, a $100 mail-in rebate and with a 2-years contract agreement). Read more
