    ..? I have heard of no such news what so ever. When did this happen, I don’t even say any news on that kind of topic what so ever as I just did a search to see if I missed something.

    @eddie dollaz:

    “Word, i’d be the laughing stock if i took this to work with me.”

    So do you work with a bunch of immature imbeciles or do you suffer from a lack of self-esteem? If you don’t like the new Sidekick that’s fine. Just say so. No device/good will please everyone. But do you really base your decisions upon what others will say? What about your car? Where you live? Your woman?

    In case you didn’t know, when people make fun of others, it is usually to make themselves feel superior.

    For me it looks OK. But I would like official word on specs. From some of the intel I have read, it doesn’t seem to be too different than the Sidekick3.

    how can a company release something like this! I hope they
    don’t try to think it can compete with the (Jesus phone) and it better
    be free, because that thing is plain ugly, looks like a game cube

    It looks like maybe that pad on the left is a directional pad based on the dots and the top, bottom, left, and right. That’s kind of interesting. I’m not much of a fan of the sk’s, but a new gadget is exciting nonetheless.

    As I said.. looks whateverish. Lets see what is on the inside.

    With the sidekicks, they will always looks this way in some respect or another. You either love it or you dont.

    I’m pretty sure that they are implementing the touch sensitive controls onto the ‘Zante’- as far as the D-Pad is concerned.

    I can’t wait for specs! :)

    Es muy bueno el prototipo, solo que…es rarop que Motorola saque al mercado un teléfono de este tipo de infraestructura, pero bueno, esperemos y le calla bien a Motorola en el lanzamiento del sideckik, fuera de esto es un buen diseño aunque en las fotos reales se ve menos brillante que en los dibujos de prototipo.

    I’m thinking touch sensetive D-Pad too. Like on KRZK Km1. Pretty neat I think but idk. And colors gotta change, black can stay but not the purple-ish blue lol. I like the thin form factor but you can’t top the rotating screen, sliders are in but sidekicks are known for their screen design. Who knows it could be a hit

    It looks like you hear through where the motorola sign is. Look at the giant d-pad. In my opinion, the worst looking sidekick yet. )=

    Wait…. “Slide”??? Don’t tell me the new SK’s are losing what I love most about mine- the amazing little screen whip thing. I do like the black/blue, though…. Might be time to upgrade from my SideKick2….

    well i hope it doesnt damage itself like the sidekick 3. what a stupid design that allows the flip screen to crash against the upper left of the phone when its flipped. my sidekick 3 has a corner that was wearing out before i noticed it. horroble design.

    reminds me of thats kids toy “Leapster” I dont see that this line will last, kids do grow up and want more refined designs.

    I agree with these people who aren’t crazy about how it looks. The first thing that came to my mind when I saw it was that it looked like a Gameboy.

    Check out this photo comparison.

    Be smart dont “upgrade” sk3 for a sidekick slide

    a month or two after this comes out the sidekick 4 is coming out (sidekick lx)

    the sidekick slide has no upgrades
    it has a smaller screen
    wait for the sidekick 4
