If the Pre’s slider has been a point of hesitation for you to make the jump to webOS, the Pre now has a little brother (or sister?) – the Pixi. Formerly known as the Palm Eos, the Pixi is officially headed to Sprint and is a little smaller than the Pre, has a 2.63″ touchscreen, and a full QWERTY keyboard on it’s face. Here’s the skinny on the Pixi:

• Dual-band CDMA and EV-DO Rev A
• 8GB of internal memory
• 3.5mm headset jack
• 2 megapixel camera with flash
• email/IM support
• GPS

Unfortunately, the Pixi will lack Wi-Fi, but it WILL support wireless charging with Palm’s Touchstone charging dock. The Pixi seems like a webOS version of the old Palm OS Centro, but with an improved feature set and better keyboard. By all appearances, is it elegant or ugly? Will the Palm Pixi be the one for you?
