Palm Pixi – $24.99 at Wirefly and available now
Palm Pixi is the second WebOS device from a newly revitalized Palm. Their first device, the Palm Pre, was met with major geek enthusiasm but only tepid mainstream sales. Now Palm is hoping for a hit with a lower priced (and less capable) version of the Pre that does away with the sliding screen, shrinks the screen a bit to . Unfortunately they’ve taken away Wi-Fi capabilities and the camera is only 2 megapixels (by comparison the iPhone has a 3.2 megapixel camera and most smartphones today ship with a 5 mp camera). Sprint’s site has this candybar shaped phone for $199 less a $100 mail in rebate. Avoid the rebate and head to the Wirefly site that has it as $24.99 for new customers activating on a 2 year agreement. Tip: Almost everyone is better off buying a Palm Pre because as BusinessWeek points out in their review – the Pixi works out to $74.15 a month and the more capable Pre to $76.25. Not much to choose from there in budgetary terms.
