Pink Palm Pixi spotted on Sprint system, Cupid is like 'boomshakalaka'

You know what's in just over a month? We'll tell you: Valentine's Day. You know what's coming up this Thursday? Something "new" from Palm. Now, we won't go so far as to say that a pink Palm Pixi is definitely in the cards for a CES unveiling, but a pink Palm Pixi is most definitely showing up in Sprint's internal systems (according to this graphic, anyway). So, what say you, readers -- is a new hue of webOS just around the bend, or are we just lovestruck?

How interesting. I wonder who would actually buy it.

@spectralfish
Chicks buy phones based on looks alone. My girlfriend and all her friends dumped their iphones for blackberries because it was "cuter". Go figure.. Heh

[EGOvoruhk Posted Jan 4th 2010 2:44AM]

If they allowed it on SERO, I would buy it for my lady friend

'Chicks buy phones based on looks alone.'

Good ol' Internet sexism. I hear so much about people talking about the looks of phones too. Lot of them guys (Or so the internet portrays them to be). Droid, iPhone, Nexus, Pre. Those be attractive phones, yes?

@spectralfish Lol!

If a Pink Pixi is the new hardware that Palm's going tobe showing off at CES, I think the market/media reaction this might be a wee bit different than last time.

@spectralfish

It would be a good replacement for my wife's M520.

[PEZ Posted Jan 4th 2010 7:17AM]

@Teslanaut - oh shut up you sexist pig. Why dont you get a sex change if you like girls so much?

LOL

@Freakin Ijit
Uh-oh

My wife. She's looking for something to replace her pink Palm Centro since it's button's are wearing through.

[Banksta3 Posted Jan 4th 2010 2:50PM]

@Teslanaut Nexus is extremely ugly, therefore I wouldn't buy it, & I'm a guy.

[pina Posted Jan 4th 2010 2:26AM]

"Pink Palm Pixi". I just tried to say that 5x fast; I was surprised that I was able to do it.

[spectralfish Posted Jan 4th 2010 2:28AM]

@pina If there was a verizon plus version it would be pink palm pixi plus

[Oghowie Posted Jan 4th 2010 2:29AM]

I hope Palm has something better to announce or the stock will be tanking some more.

[DrDr Posted Jan 4th 2010 3:12AM]

@Oghowie

Palm has video recording and 3D gaming built into the OS from the past two updates, and chances are that they will unveil it at CES. Maybe even flash as well.

:-( I like blue, but no one else seems to

[xbit Posted Jan 4th 2010 3:35AM]

@yulebellow
It appears that you have the blue blues.

[cswright Posted Jan 4th 2010 2:39AM]

beep boop

[(Unverified) Posted Jan 4th 2010 3:29AM]

Well... I would prefer more Wifi than new colors

[smartmouth Posted Jan 4th 2010 3:29AM]

@sheally

You know what really amazes me is not the fact that you are a spammer, but that you effectively trolled as well all in one post.

Congratulations, you are now the representation of what is hated on engadget. A powerful and convincing statement on selling your products, btw.
Good luck on getting any customers

[smartmouth Posted Jan 4th 2010 3:34AM]

I hope that, for business sake, palm goes to verizon. I mean i'm happy with sprint, but if they can present themselves to more people, there will be more variety for this company. Typing this on my pre, and loving it ;)

[PhoenixFox Posted Jan 4th 2010 5:33AM]

It could be a codename, rather than an actual new colour...

[mahootzki Posted Jan 4th 2010 6:27AM]

nice, would consider getting it for the wife.

[ToniCipriani Posted Jan 4th 2010 7:13AM]

The woman who got "aggressively invited" by Mr. Skimask with the super-cute pink Centro that does multimedia messaging meets her upgrade.

(Note: for those who don't know Mr. Skimask is, search "releasemypre" on YouTube.)

[willxcore Posted Jan 4th 2010 8:21AM]

I think that if a pink Pixi does get released, Palm will see success with it. There was a girl who temped at my job who had a pink Centro and loved it because it was "cute". If I know of one person like that, their must be more out there. I think Palm should release more colors for the Pixi as well. Go fucking nuts with it. Treat the Pixi as the kid/chick/non-"pro" webOS phone and focus on beefing up the Pre as much as possible.

[boe Posted Jan 4th 2010 8:50AM]

It is great that they offer phones for teenage girls but it would be nice if Sprint actually started carrying business PDA's as well like the HD2. They should have offered something like the Whitestone/Imagio back in October to hold people over until an HD2 was available. At this rate, the HD3 will be available in Europe befor Sprint has anything comparable (if ever) over here.

[Cam Posted Jan 4th 2010 10:00AM]

If this becomes the "Plus" I'm going to be pissed.

[blinky Posted Jan 4th 2010 10:08AM]

Hi. My name is Mr. Rubenstein. I think that since we (Palm) don't have anything new that is technologically worthy of competing in the smartphone market, we have decided to try to change our approach to increasing sales by selling our devices to more women. We did some market analysis and found that women like Pink. So, we are making a Pink phone and we expect that most women will buy this phone because it is Pink.
