It will cost just $99.99 with a two-year service agreement, after a $50 instant rebate and $100 mail-in rebate and be available at Sprint stores, online at www.sprint.com, through telesales at 1-800-SPRINT1, and at Best Buy, RadioShack and select Wal-Mart stores.<br \/>\n\u201cWe are excited to offer the new Palm Pixi to our customers in time for the holiday season, and it\u2019s a great addition to Sprint\u2019s industry-leading device portfolio,\u201d said Kevin Packingham, senior vice president \u2013 Product Development, Sprint.  \u201cSimply put, this phone is fun and easy to use; with its multi-touch screen and full QWERTY keyboard, it\u2019s a great device for messaging and social networking at a price everyone can enjoy, and delivers so many of the great features people love about Palm Pre\u2122 in a fantastic new form factor, making it a huge hit for consumers.\u201d<br \/>\nRunning the Palm webOS\u2122 mobile platform, Palm Pixi lets the user 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.  Universal search also makes finding things easy, providing results from both the device and the Web.<br \/>\nPalm webOS brings together the user\u2019s most important information from their phone, at work or on the Web into one logical view.  In addition to linking information from Google\u2122, Facebook\u00ae, Microsoft\u00ae Exchange ActiveSync\u00ae and LinkedIn\u00ae, Palm Pixi adds Yahoo!\u00ae integration to Palm Synergy\u21223.  Palm Synergy offers:<br \/>\n\u2022\tLinked contacts \u2013 A single view that links contacts from a variety of sources, so accessing them is easier than ever.<br \/>\n\u2022\tLayered calendars \u2013 Calendars can be seen on their own or layered together in a single view, combining work, family, friends, sports teams or other interests, and the user can toggle to look at one calendar at a time, or see them all at a glance.<br \/>\n\u2022\tCombined messaging \u2013 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\u2019s active in a buddy list right from contacts or email, and start a new conversation with just one touch.<br \/>\nA new Facebook application will be available with Palm Pixi, so users can see and comment on all the latest news from friends and easily update their status.  Palm Pixi features an exposed full QWERTY keyboard, multi-touch screen and a durable, removable rubberized back cover.<br \/>\nWhile Palm Pixi comes with a charger included in the box, Palm recently introduced the Touchstone\u2122 charging dock, the first inductive charging solution for phones.  Touchstone, along with the Touchstone compatible back cover (both sold separately), allows Palm Pixi to be set on top of the dock without worrying about connection, orientation or fit. The device remains active while charging, allowing access to the touch screen, movies or video, or the speakerphone option. Touchstone is available in Sprint stores nationwide for $79.99 and includes a Touchstone charger and USB wall charger.  The Pixi Touchstone back cover is also available for $19.99 (plus taxes).<br \/>\nPalm Pixi requires activation on a pricing plan including unlimited data, such as Sprint\u2019s Everything Data plans with Any Mobile, AnytimeSM, which give customers unlimited mobile calling on the Sprint network to and from any U.S. wireless carrier, unlimited nationwide texting, email, Web browsing and much more, starting at just $69.99. The Simply EverythingSM plan from Sprint offers a truly unlimited experience for only $99.99 per month, a savings of $1,200 over two years versus a comparable AT&#038;T iPhone\u00ae plan4.  (All price plans exclude surcharges and taxes.  Other exclusions apply.)<br \/>\nCustomers who subscribe to an Everything Data plan are also automatically enrolled in Sprint Premier, the industry-leading loyalty program.  The Premier program provides customers with great benefits such as annual upgrades, discounts on accessories, anniversary rewards, rate plan checkups and \u201cfirst to know\u201d information about the latest at Sprint.<br \/>\nPalm Pixi will take advantage of the Sprint Mobile Broadband Network (inclusive of data roaming), which reaches more than 269 million people, 18,652 cities and 1,838 airports. The Sprint Networks (inclusive of data roaming) have more than twice the coverage of AT&#038;T\u2019s current 3G network and more than 15 times the coverage of T-Mobile\u2019s current 3G network, both based on square miles5.<br \/>\nSprint is also the only wireless carrier to offer Ready Now with trained retail associates to work one-on-one with customers to personalize their Palm Pixi, set up features and demonstrate how it works before the customer leaves the store. Customers have the choice of sitting down with a Sprint retail associate at the time of purchase or they can schedule an appointment for a later time at www.sprint.com\/storelocator.<br \/>\nApplication developers will have a chance to learn more about Palm webOS at Sprint\u2019s ninth annual developer conference beginning today in Santa Clara, Calif.  The Sprint Open Developer Conference is open to all developers and will feature information through speaker sessions and coding camps on developing applications for a range of platforms, including webOS.  Palm is a premier sponsor of the conference, and Ben Galbraith and Dion Almaer, directors of Developer Relations for Palm, will be giving a keynote address in addition to running several breakout sessions and coding camps focusing on the webOS platform.
