The Palm Pixi Plus on AT&amp;T will clock in at a refreshing&nbsp;$49.99. Naturally, both prices are after a $100 mail-in rebate and a two-year contract.<\/p>\n<p>Both phones will be on the 850\/1900 3G bands and so are not identical to the European Palm Pre Plus (<a href=\"http:\/\/www.precentral.net\/european-palm-pre-plus-lands-fcc\">p101ueu<\/a>) <a href=\"http:\/\/www.precentral.net\/sfr-pre-plus-and-pixi-plus-pricing-revealed-survey\">expected soon for SFR France<\/a>. In terms of software, both phones will feature<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>AT&amp;T Navigation (based on Telenav) for an additional monthly fee&nbsp;<\/li>\n<li>AT&amp;T Address book integrated with Palm&#8217;s Synergy feature<\/li>\n<li>Yellow Pages from AT&amp;T<\/li>\n<li>AT&amp;T Whisper Service, which will automatically log the phones into AT&amp;T WiFi hotspots when they are available.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not available on either phone is Mobile Hotspot for tethering, as that is a Verizon-exclusive service. Both phones, like their European predecessors, are capable of Bluetooth tethering but AT&amp;T has not as of this writing revealed whether they&#8217;ll offer a tethering option.<\/p>\n<p>Quoth Palm CEO Jon Rubinstein:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>AT&amp;T and Palm have a history of smartphone leadership, and today&rsquo;s announcement is a significant milestone for us,&rdquo; said Jon Rubinstein, Palm chairman and chief executive officer. &ldquo;With Palm webOS phones coming to AT&amp;T, Palm can help most anyone in the United States stay connected so they never miss a thing.<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>We&#8217;ll add that once these phones hit AT&amp;T Palm will be on the three largest US carriers. We&#8217;re bummed that we don&#8217;t have a firm release date. Previous rumors have pointed to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.precentral.net\/fcc-files-suggest-att-pre-due-may\">May as a possibility<\/a>, but those FCC documents were for the (presumably scrapped) regular Palm Pre P100UNA. Additionally, <a href=\"http:\/\/www.precentral.net\/palm-ceo-pre-would-have-done-better-droid-if-it-launched-first-4th-quarter-be-grim\">Palm&#8217;s Q4 earnings outlook<\/a> is small enough that a late-quarter launch is looking more likely.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the standard, black back cover, the Pixi Plus will also be available with a blue back cover. Aftermarket and artist-series Pixi back covers will of course also work with the Pixi Plus.<\/p>\n<p>We&#8217;re on the scene at CTIA and hope to have live hands-on in the coming days!
