This handset has been designed for the ease of messaging and social networking hence it provides numerous enhanced options that are waiting to be explored by users. To make this handset durable, the company has built it with a rubberized back cover that ensures this piece does not scratch too easily or does not slip.

“Palm Pixi continues Sprint’s leadership in providing useful and innovative devices on America’s most dependable 3G network,” said Dan Hesse, chief executive officer at Sprint. “We are pleased to be the first carrier to bring this device to market and offer both devices in the growing Palm webOS family.
