The New T-Mobile Sidekick LX & Slide
T-Mobile is releasing to new versions of the very popular, “Sidekick,” series, the Sidekick LX(retail $299) and the Sidekick Slide(retail $199). The new Sidekick LX is set to release October 17th for existing customers(24th publicly). The Sidekick LX boasts a larger screen, mood lights, a 1.3 megapixel camera with flash, bluetooth capability and a special myspace application. The Sidekick Slide comes out later this month.
Never seen the hype behind sidekicks and I’m not too impressed with the features. But I’m sure high school kids are in a frenzy over the new Sidekick.

Press Release
T-Mobile USA, Inc. today announces what Sidekick fans have been craving - the next evolutions of the T-Mobile? Sidekick? family. Two newly designed devices - T-Mobile Sidekick LXT and T-Mobile Sidekick SlideT - will hit the streets this fall and both feature the must-have assets that make Sidekick the ultimate messaging device, including the newly launched, custom-designed MySpace application.(a)
While Sidekick enthusiasts await the new devices, T-Mobile kicks off Sidekick Nation, a user-generated video contest hosted by MySpace where fans have the chance to show their creativity and win a grand prize that includes $10,000 and a trip to Hollywood to see his/her video highlights aired on Jimmy Kimmel Live!
Sidekick LX and Sidekick Slide
Fans of the T-Mobile Sidekick franchise have eagerly awaited and provided feedback for the newest addition to the family. T-Mobile listened to its loyal device enthusiasts and will launch this fall the Sidekick LX, which features a number of enhancements over its predecessors. The Sidekick LX, designed by Sharp, boasts a thinner, smoother profile; a large, pristine WQVGA screen that incorporates high-definition LCD technology and iconic swivel display; a camera with flash; multimedia messaging; and mood lights that let users set specific light settings for various communication alerts, whether a text message, phone call, email, etc. The Sidekick LX will be available in a midnight blue or espresso brown finish on October 17th for existing T-Mobile customers and to the general public on October 24th.
For new customers who want to ensure they are among the first to have a Sidekick LX, reservation cards will be available at T-Mobile-owned retail stores across the U.S. beginning September 26th through October 17th. This card will reserve a device that can be purchased and picked-up on October 24th (for more details, visit your nearest T-Mobile-owned retail store).
Following the introduction of the Sidekick LX, the Sidekick Slide, designed by Motorola, will be available later this fall. With a new look and feel for the Sidekick family, the Sidekick Slide debuts a smaller design featuring a slide up QVGA screen, a compact QWERTY keyboard, full Sidekick messaging technology, and a black finish with deep purple accents.
“T-Mobile Sidekick customers are an amazingly loyal and enthusiastic group that are passionate about their phones and being the hub of their social circle,” said Jeff Hopper, vice president of marketing, T-Mobile USA. “The new Sidekick LX is a true upgrade that this group will love, with new features that our customers have been craving. The Sidekick Nation promotion also gives our customers - who already send us fun and creative videos about the Sidekick - an outlet to show off how much they love their device.”

T-Mobile can come out with how many phones they want but their net service suck and all the bells & whistles can’t hide that fact.
With AT&T and its 3G technology, I be downloading songs in 10-20 seconds.
HTC > Danger anyway.

October 15th, 2007 at 4:34 pm
that phone is shitty .. just a good email and messaging tool .. I had 2 sidekicks in the past and their horrible for actually talking on.. this new sidekick has no windows mobile 6. I have the T-mobile wing and its like having your pc in your pocket .. just wish t-mobile offered 3G technology though.
that would be nice…

I had a sidekick 2 and now a 3. Both phones SUCK. I, like most of ya’ll have two phones. I like the tmail service, web, full keyboard and IM but otherwise sidekicks suck hairy nutts. Danger promised upgrades wit the 3 and all we got were my faves, a shitty camera and a fuckin roller ball. I ain’t about to spend my chips to buy another crappy ass phone. It’s about time they got MMS and video on this M.F. They hella tardy. Imma pay off my cingular bill and get that good iphone crackin. Holla!
October 25th, 2007 at 3:03 pm
