Product Description Palm’s high-end smartphone releases are often followed by a stripped-down counterpart released weeks or months later, as was the case with the Palm Pre and Pixi available through Sprint in mid-2009. The Palm Pixi Plus, Verizon’s exclusive variant to Sprint’s Pixi, was released in January 2010. The “Plus” in the name refers to the addition of WiFi, a highly desired feature in today’s latest smartphones. The Plus operates on Verizon’s CDMA 850/1900 network, with data transfer handled by 1xEvDO Rev. A. Using multi-touch technology, the capacitive touchscreen is overlaid onto a 2.6-in. TFT-LCD display (262K colors; 320 x 400 pixels). The Pixi Plus also sports a built-in QWERTY keypad, 2MP camera, 3.7V/1150mAh Li-ion battery, Bluetooth 2.1 + EDR, A-GPS, face-detecting proximity sensor, and microUSB connector.
