The New Sidekick LX & Sidekick Slide

It has been long awaited and with all different types of Sidekick versions everyone asks, when is the Sidekick 4 coming out? Well to answer this question rumor has it that the Sidekick 4 is set to come out sometime in January 08 but T Mobile is releasing the new generation of sidekick with their release of the Sidekick LX. In the year of 2008 T Mobile seems to be dropping several different type of sidekicks to add to the sidekick family. A Sidekick X, Sidekick 4, SidekickRAZR, and Sidekick Shuriken are supposed to all drop sometime in 08 but there isnt any photos on any of these models as of yet. The Sidekick Slide and the Sidekick LX have been mistaken for the Sidekick 4 they're not. The Sidekick LX is set to drop Oct. 17th for T Mobile customers, Oct. 24th to everyone else and its been heard that the phone will be $299 with a 2 year contract which will probably have the phone retail $499 without a plan at all. The Sidekick Slide is set to drop Nov. 7th $199 with a 2 year contract $399 without a plan at all. The Sidekick LX will come in midnight blue (same shade as the T Mobile wing) and expresso brown. The new kick will feature myspace application (sidekick Id's have received this update in their download catalog already but T Mobile has said that 3's should have this update by at least Oct. 7th) as well as the tradition Aim, MSN, and Yahoo. It allows emailing (up to 4 accounts), has a MicroSD slot, a 1.3 mp camera with flash, 6.8 hrs of talk time, and 4 days of stand by time. The LX and Slide sports a slim look and also can be charger with the wall plug or usb cord. Below are pictures of the Slide and LX you can also pre-register to get the phone at T-Mobile.
