Finally! The wait is over for those of you waiting on a release date and price for the Palm Pixi. Since it was officially announced back on the second week of September, many of you have been waiting for it. Palm and Sprint have officially announced November 15th to be the day the Pixi arrives to your hands, with a price of $99.99 with a two year contract.
The Pixi – as we mention before – will cost $99.99 with a two-year service agreement and after a $50 instant rebate, but there is of course, the hateful mail-in rebate (which is $100). The Palm Pixi will be available at Sprint stores, online at www.sprint.com, through telesales at 1-800-SPRINT1, and at Best Buy, RadioShack and select Wal-Mart stores.
Kevin Packingham, senior vice president of Product Development for Sprint said:
Simply put, this phone is fun and easy to use; with its multi-touch screen and full QWERTY keyboard, it’s a great device for messaging and social networking at a price everyone can enjoy, and delivers so many of the great features people love about Palm Pre™ in a fantastic new form factor, making it a huge hit for consumers.
And according to Sprint, in addition to linking information from Google, Facebook, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and LinkedIn, Palm Pixi adds Yahoo! integration to Palm Synergy. Which we already knew, but for us Pre users, that’s important news. It means Pre owners will finally have a Facebook app and Yahoo will be integrated to the native messaging app.
