OVERLAND PARK, Kan. —

Sprint Nextel plans to sell Palm's Pixi, a lighter and cheaper version of the Palm Pre, beginning Nov. 15.

The nation's third-largest wireless company said the Sprint-only device will cost $99.99 with a two-year contract after $150 in rebates.

Sprint Nextel Corp. began selling the Pre smartphone in June. The company currently sells it for $150 after rebates and a two-year contract. Neither Sprint nor Palm Inc. has released specific sales numbers and analyst opinions have been mixed on how well the device has sold.

The Pixi comes with a touch screen, full QWERTY keyboard and Palm's latest operating system, WebOS. It will also have 8 gigabytes of built-in memory and a 2 megapixel camera.

The device also comes with a dedicated Facebook application.
