The thinnest Palm mobile phone yet, the Palm Pixi from Sprint is a smartphone that's designed to be easy to use and light in your pocket.
In addition to high-speed connectivity via Sprint's dependable 3G network, a vibrantly colorful touch screen and full QWERTY keyboard, the Pixi also features the instinctively useable Palm webOS platform.
With Palm webOS, you can keep multiple activities open and move easily between them--like flipping through a deck of cards, using natural gestures.
This allows for easy movement between messaging and email or searching the Web while listening to music, and items are rearranged simply by dragging them. webOS Operating System Palm webOS brings together the most important information from your phone, at work or on the Web, into one logical view. In addition to linking information from Google, Facebook, Microsoft Exchange ActiveSync and LinkedIn, Palm Pixi adds Yahoo! integration to Palm Synergy, which offers:
-
Linked contacts -- A single view that links contacts from a variety of sources, so accessing them is easier than ever.
-

-
Combined messaging -- See all the conversations with the same person in a chat-style view, including MMS, even if it started in IM and switched to reply with text messaging. The user can also see who's active in a buddy list right from contacts or email, and start a new conversation with just one touch.
And a new Facebook application is available with Palm Pixi, enabling you to see and comment on all the latest news from friends and easily update their status.
