New Palm Pixi (aka Pixie) on Verizon: Release Rumor?

We have been asked by one of our readers when the new Palm Pixi (aka Pixie) will be released on the Verizon network. The reader is a Palm Treo owner and is waiting for the new handset to arrvive but was unsure when this is.

We do not have an official release date for the handset yet, but we recently mentioned that the Pixi will be released sometime in mid-November on the Sprint, but no idea on the Verizon carrier. We ask if any of our readers have any more news on this.

The Palm Pixi is aimed at women users and looks like a BlackBerry love child. The 2.63-inch multi-touch capacitive touchscreen display has 320 x 400 pixels and comes with a 2-megapixel camera. Other features include GPS, 8GB of internal memory, 3.5mm headphone jack and changeable covers.

The Pixie has something in common with the Palm Pre, it can use the Palm TouchStone wireless charger. According to Trusted Reviews, the new handset will run on the webOS, which is much improved thanks to a few updates since its launch.
