Palm Pixi Free on Sprint

The Palm Pixi, a 3G smartphone made for multitasking, is now free from Sprint. Although the most likely reason that it is free now is because of weak sales, this makes it an even better choice for a new Sprint smartphone. It offers a two megapixel camera, 3G speeds, great multitasking with WebOS, and a full keyboard. (Sprint)

Treo Pro No Longer on Palm, Sprint Death Sometime Soon?

Palm's last Windows Mobile device, the Treo Pro, has officially left Palm's website. The phone was a popular Windows Mobile device that has a similar design to the Palm Centro. If you still want a piece of Palm's Windows Mobile device, it is still available directly from Sprint, but once it is gone from the phone manufacturer's website, it's probably going to be gone soon. Hopefully with the Treo Pro gone, Palm will make new devices on the modern WebOS platform to take it's place, and fast. (Palm)

WebOS 1.4 Update Now Available

If you have a Palm Pre or Pixi, you might already have updated to the latest OS, WebOS 1.4. The update includes numerous bug fixes and adds a few new features, so if you haven't checked for an update already, it might be time to get the latest OS. (Engadget)

New Smartphone Low Prices

Starting this week, multiple smartphones from Sprint have dropped in price. Here are a few of the dropped phones:

Palm Pixi: $49 (was $99)
HTC Hero: $149 (was $179)
Samsung Moment: $99 (was $179)
Blackberry Tour: $99 (was $149)

Maybe the most notable of these smartphones is the Palm Pixi, which is only a couple of months old. If this is anything like the Pre, the price has dropped so soon because of weak sales. The launch of the Pre Plus and Pixi Plus on Verizon might have a hand in that, though. The Moment is now a great deal if you are looking for an Android phone, especially with the full keyboard and Android 2.1 coming soon. If you are in the market for any new Sprint smartphone, though, now would be the time to buy for low prices. But if you are looking to get the latest and greatest, these price drops might just mean we are going to be getting some new smartphones soon, such as the Bold. (Sprint)
