Today T-Mobile is announcing the Sidekick LX and the Sidekick Slide. Both have quad-band GSM/EDGE radios, Bluetooth and support for up to 4GB in the microSD slots. They also both share 1.3 Megapixel cameras, the standard Sidekick communications software as well as the new mobile MySpace application.
- LX: The LX, made by Sharp, is a slimmed down update to the Sidekick 3. It features a 3-inch WQVGA display that is thinner than the SK3's and has an improved swivel joint. There are a set of lights placed around the edge of the LX that can be set to different colors to indicate different types of messages. It comes with a 128MB microSD card and its camera has a flash. It will be available to existing T-Mobile customers on October 17th, and new customers October 24th. It will cost $299 with 2-year agreement.
- Slide: Made by Motorola, the Slide is a smaller version of the Sidekick LX. Rather than swivel around, its 2-inch QVGA screen slides straight up to reveal the QWERTY keyboard underneath. Its camera does not have a flash. It will be available November 7th for $199 with 2-year agreement.
