T-Mobile Sidekick Slide Announced

T-Mobile today unveiled the Sidekick Slide, a messaging device with a new slide open mechanism, rather than the conventional swivel.

Designed by Motorola rather than Sharp, the Sidekick Slide 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.

Featuring a vivid 2.5-inch QVGA screen, the Sidekick Slide also offers an integrated 1.3-megapixel camera, music player, microSD card slot support of 4 GB cards, Bluetooth wireless technology, and data transfer over T-Mobile's EDGE network. The Sidekick Slide has talk and standby times of 5.9 hours and 3.6 days respectively, measures 117 x 61 x 17 mm and weighs 150 g.

The Sidekick Slide will be available on November 7th at an intial retail price of $199 with a two year service agreement.
