Palm Pixi by Sprint

So here is a look at the new Palm Pixi. It’ll cost $200 with a two-year contract and after a $50 instant rebate. A $100 mail-in rebate will be given when signing up for a qualifying plan. The Palm Pixi will be sold through Sprint stores, online at Sprint’s webstore and at Best Buy, RadioShack and select Wal-mart stores. The plastic device is light, but doesn’t feel cheap at all, and Palm has smartly chosen the materials; the front is done in a piano black, high-gloss coat, while the standard back is soft-touch material. The candybar phone has rounded edges much like the Pre, though the width of the Pixi tapers slightly towards the bottom, giving it a sculpted, continuous feel. Unlike the Pre, the Pixi ditches the physical center button for a thin, LED slit which works just as the button does, though sometimes it’s a bit odd not having a physical target. Speaking of thin, did we mention what a sliver this thing is? It measures just 0.43-inches thick — that’s thinner than the iPhone (for those keeping count).
