Palm's new Pixi phone will be available exclusively from Sprint in time for the holidays. The Pixi essentially is a slimmed-down version of the Pre, optimized for social networking and priced a bit lower than the Pre.
In addition to linking a user's information from Google, Facebook and Exchange ActiveSync, Palm Pixi adds Yahoo! and LinkedIn integration and assembles updates and messages all in a single view, threaded.
"Synergy" on Palm Pixi makes messaging easier by showing all user conversations with the same person in one chat-style thread, so users can start a conversation on AIM Instant Messenger, Google Talk or Yahoo! Messenger and continue it by text message later.
Complementing the phone's already rich Facebook integration with the contacts, phone, calendar and photo applications, a new Facebook application will be available with Palm Pixi so you can see and comment on all the latest updates from friends, as well as easily update your status.
The phone combines both a full QWERTY keyboard and a multi-touch screen lets users move back and forth between open applications using natural gestures.
The Palm Pixi runs on the Sprint 3G network and features multimedia options including pictures, video playback and music and featuring a 2-megapixel fixed-focus camera with LED flash, and a standard 3.5mm headset jack.
