Originally rumored under the name Palm Eos, the Palm Pixi is the second WebOS phone from Palm, following the much anticipated Palm Pre, and was officially announced on September 8th, 2009 on Palm's blog. The Pixi has a 2.63-inch, 18-bit color, 320 x 400 TFT capacitive display, a full QWERTY keyboard, a rubberized back, various customized versions in the Palm Pixi Artist series, integrated GPS, EVDO Rev A connectivity, 2-megapixel fixed-focus camera with LED flash, 8 GB of storage, an integrated accelerometer, and MicroUSB connector for charging and connecting to your computer.

The Palm Pixi weighs 3.5 ounces and measures 2.17 in. (W) x 4.37 in. (L) x 0.43 in. (D).

The official price for this handset is $100 on a contract after a $50 instant rebate and a $100 mail-in rebate. However, the price has steadily fallen since the debut. You can now pick the Pixi up for $24.99 on Amazon. The superior Palm Pre is only marginally more expensive at $79.99, so that's not very tempting. Both phones are available exclusively through Sprint.
