Sprint Advertises WiFi Capabilities on the Palm Pixi, but Rectifies Later





Well, it seems like Sprint doesn’t just have “system errors” on pricing for the first webOS device. Apparently, some of the errors happen on other things, like when they announced the early release of the 1.2 update for webOS, remember that one?

This time, there’s another “error”, but is not about the price of the Palm Pre or about an update to webOS. Now the error is on the Sprint holiday page, where you see upfront the next webOS device; the Palm Pixi. Yea, that is not the error, as we all know, the Pixi is coming in just a few days. The main problem or error, is that one of the features that Sprint is claiming on the Pixi has to do with WiFi capabilities.

And most, if not all of us here know that the upcoming Palm Pixi doesn’t have WiFi. Either someone messed up really bad by doing a copy and paste from the product description of the first webOS phone, the Pre, or that someone did not get the memo on the Pixi’s real features. Well, the problem has been fixed now, as you can see on the first image.

But also, the GPS navigation capability has been taken out, together with the “Huge touchscreen and full QWERTY keyboard.” Does this mean that the Pixi will not have GPS navigation? Or even worse, it may not have a touchscreen and full QWERTY keyboard, since all that was taken out and replaced by just “Keyboard”. Okay, I’m going crazy here, but hey, it’s not my fault, blame whoever made that mistake on Sprint’s webpage.
