![]() The Sidekick LX will be available for $299 with a 2-year contract on October 17th and will be widely available on October 24th. The memory slot is now microSD instead of miniSD. Although the features and the display are greater, the battery time is improved to 6.8 hours of talk time, instead of 4.5 for the Sidekick 3. Motorola T-Mobile Sidekick Slide (Q700) 12MB QWERTY Cell Phone - POOR CONDITION. The LX will also be usable with the MySpace application and as one can expect from a Sidekick comes with IM, email and now enhanced Web browser with improved JavaScript support. The biggest improvement is the screen, a 3” unit with WQGA resolution of 400x240 pixels, which is 2.5 times more than the one of the predecessor. ![]() The Sidekick LX is very similar to the Sidekick 3 by its look, but will come in two color variants, including “midnight blue” and “espresso brown” and feature customizable light settings, called “Mood lights”, which alert for various things, including messages, IM, email and phone. The two new Sidekicks are the LX which can be considered as the successor of the Sidekick 3, again manufactured by Sharp and the Slide, which is by Motorola and the first Sidekick without the uniquely swiveling display. It is a rather strange decision from the carrier, especially considering that the rumor information and even live pictures leaked a few months ago, but it is probably in order to attract even more attention. Samsung redesigned the new Sidekick 4G with our best-in-class hardware, combined with T-Mobile's 4G network speeds, the Android operating system, and unique messaging and entertainment features, to make this a perfect match for both loyal Sidekick fans and new Sidekick owners.Today T-Mobile announced two new variants of the Sidekick design, which unfortunately will be available after more than a month.

As far as I understood the acquisition of Danger. It has front and rear cameras (3-megapixel for the main one), a five row QWERTY slider keyboard (complete with Smiley button), and packs some funky colours too (like bright pink). The phone, which has been produced by Samsung, has a 3.5-inch display and is powered by Android 2.2 (Froyo) and a 1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird processor. So it's perhaps no surprise to see the Sidekick re-imagined under the Android banner - although it's fairly obvious from the fairly mediocre specs that T-Mobile now sees the Sidekick as a budget friendly, teen-aimed device. And it was produced for T-Mobile by Danger Inc (it's actual name was the Danger Hiptop) - a company which lists Google's Andy Rubin as one of its founders. ![]()
