Win a Palm Pixi Just in Time For the Holidays [Palm to Launch the New webOS Smartphone by Christmas; 25 Pixi Units to be Won]

Palm is getting ready to launch its second webOS phone, the Palm Pixi and in order to properly celebrate the move the company is offering 25 Pixi smartphones to be won just “in time for the holidays.”

The only logical question is, do you really want a Pixi phone in your life? In all honesty, the Palm Pre was one of the most sought after phones in the first half of the year. A lot of people, yours truly included, thought that the Pre could be the iPhone killer. That never happen unfortunately and we’re still waiting for Palm to conceive a phone capable to stand proud in front of the iPhone.

The iPhone is a great phone and we expect Cupertino to improve it year after year. Apple has set some impressive trends in the mobile business and two of them have completely changed the way we think about our mobile devices. Apple was the first to introduce a touchscreen user interface and the App Store. Every regular cell phone maker has been caught by surprise. And every manufacturer out there realized that Apple has a hot product, which happens to be phone to beat in the following years.

Naturally I assumed the Pre was going to be the iPhone contender. But the Pre failed to steal everyone’s hearts just like the BlackBerry Storm did last year. So why should we be interested in the Pixi right now since Palm’s second webOS phone isn’t going to be better the Pre.

Don’t get me wrong, I am sure the Pixi is a great smartphone. It will offer you both a multitouch screen and a full QWERTY keyboard along with various other useful features. But that doesn’t make the Pixi stand out of the crowd, does it? Maybe that’s why Palm is aggressively trying to get your attention and convince you to buy one. Sure it would be nice to win a Pixi phone, but that doesn’t mean you’re going to actually use it much, does it?

The Pixi will arrive soon from Sprint and, unfortunately for our international readers, the contest is available only to U.S. participants. All you have to do is sign up for more information about the Pixi and hope you’re going to be one of the lucky 25 winners.
