Sidekick Slide

CrunchGear has posted a brief review of the upcoming Sidekick Slide for T-Mobile here on their website. The Sidekick Slide (which gets its name from the slide up display) features the following:

  • Slides open to reveal QWERTY keyboard
  • Send and receive email
  • Picture messaging support
  • Web, email, text, and IM support
  • 1.3 megapixel digital camera
  • AOL, Yahoo!, MSN, ICQ IM support
  • Alarm clock
  • Bluetooth support
  • Calendar
  • Picture caller ID support
  • Games, megatones, wallpaper, HiFi ringers
  • Phonebook
  • Speakerphone
  • microSD slot
  • Support for T-Mobile’s myFaves program
  • Quad-band GSM support
  • Integrated music player with support for MP3, WMA, and ACC
  • Measures 4.6 x 2.4 x 0.7 inches and weighs only 5.3 oz
  • Talk time of 5 hours and standby time of 3 days

Here’s the verdict from CrunchGear:

All in all, the Slide is what I had hoped the SK3 would have been. Its small form factor and design is top notch. I don’t look like one of the kiddies anymore. It’s nice to see someone other than Sharp take a swipe at the Sidekick line. It’s refreshing and I hope they continue to manufacture future handsets, but I want my swivel screen back.

The Sidekick Slide will be coming out tomorrow for T-Mobile.
