All The Latest Cell Phone, Gadget and Tech News

The Palm Pixi has been launched officially this Sunday and Sprint customers can get it for $99.99 after rebates and with a 2-year new contract. But other retailers, like Amazon, are ready to offer the smartphone for a lot less. Amazon is going to sell the Pixi for just $25 but you will still have to get a new contract from Sprint.

So should you buy the Pixi now? Why not wait a while as I am sure the phone will be available for free on contract real soon. After all there are hotter phones out there worth purchasing with new contracts like the HTC Hero, the Motorola Droid, the BlackBerry Storm2, the HTC Droid Eris or the Samsung Behold II. What phone are you going to purchase these holidays?

The Pixi is supposed to be official this Sunday but it looks like the phone has already been spotted at certain Walmart locations. The Pixi is reported to have a $400 price tag at certain stores in Tennessee although that hasn’t been confirmed yet. In fact the Pixi hasn’t been spotted in Walmart’s system yet which means the phone is not available for purchase yet.

Will the Pixi be a hit phone or will it have to stay in the shadows of other smartphones like the Droid this winter? Will you buy a Pixi in the near future?

  • Sprint is really interested in selling the Pixi at any cost. In fact it would seem that the carrier has forgotten one important fact about the new Palm webOS phone: the Pixi lacks WiFi support which is a pretty annoying thing in the first place. But Sprint is announcing the fact that the Pixi is “WiFi capable.” As much as we’d like to imagine that the Pixi will arrive with WiFi support, that will not be the case this time. Maybe the future webOS Palm phone will offer WiFi but the Pixi won’t be able to sport such capabilities. So, Sprint, what do you have to say in your defense?

  • Palm Pixi to Bring New webOS?

    Palm Pixi is now an official Sprint and in case you’re still not sure about buying one then maybe this little info will help. Well it’s mostly a rumor but it looks like the new webOS phone will come with a new OS version. The new software will bring you more features although we still don’t know what they are. Rumors say that the next OS built is either 1.2.9 or 1.3. Currently the Pre is running version 1.2.1 which means we could be in for a lot of changes once the new OS hits. What do you say Pre owners? Are you ready for a new webOS version?

    Naturally there are no release dates announced yet but we might just see the Pixi come with the new OS on board. We’ll tell you more about the new webOS once it becomes available.

  • Palm Pixi gets exclusivity from Sprint

    The news is in as Palm and Sprint have announced their exclusive deal of the Pixi. It will feature a 2.63 (320 x 400) touchscreen display, GPS, a 2-megapixel camera with LED flash, Bluetooth, and 8GB of internal storage. It will be available for $100 on November 15 with a two-year agreement (with mail-in rebate) at places like Best Buy, the Shack, and even Wal-Mart.

  • Palm Pixi GSM Version Spotted

    Palm’s second webOS phone, the Pixi has been spotted wearing GSM clothes. The phone isn’t yet available anywhere but a GSM prototype is out in the wild in Vietnam. As you can see in the picture here, the Pixi is “World Ready” which means that other carriers beside Sprint can sell in the USA. Not to mention that other international carriers will want to get in on the action and grab this GSM webOS phone as soon as it becomes available.

    The Pixi here is most likely a version made for usage outside of the U.S. It has only 4GB of internal memory storage available instead of the regular 8GB memory that equips the Pixi headed to Sprint.

  • We’re not surprised to see stuff leaked from Best Buy and this time we have some details about the company’s upcoming holiday releases. And there are quite a few phones there ready to capture your imagination, but also a netbook we’ve seen in the news lately:

    • Nokia Booklet netbook - October 25th launch (AT&T activation)
    • Sprint HTC Hero - October 11th
    • Sprint Palm Pixi - launch date TBD
    • Verizon Storm II - launch date TBD
    • Verizon Android device - launch date TBD
    • T-Mobile CLIQ - launch date TBD

    We’re particularly interested in that “new technology which doesn’t exist today” mentioned in the leaked documents and we definitely want to hear more about those BlackBerry and multiple Android phones which will also be available from Best Buy soon. We’ll be back with official prices and release dates so in the mean time you have plenty of time to decide what phone to ask from Santa this Christmas!

    In case you got pretty excited two days ago to find out that Palm and Sprint are getting ready to launch the Pixi on October 20 then you’re about to get pretty bummed to hear that said date might not be that precise. The source failed to mention the correct launch date but we can assume that both Sprint and Palm would like to have a fresh phone available in time for Christmas. In case you have already passed on the Palm Pre, which can be purchased right now for just $79 from Walmart, will you consider getting the Pixi this winter?
