Just as we predicted, a special red version of the Sidekick Slide has hit the streets. The Sidekick Slide Crimson is functionally identical to its purple brother, sporting EDGE, 1.3 megapixel camera, slide out QWERTY keyboard, Danger’s stellar AIM client, and a bit more. It’s not going to win any awards for "Innovation of the [...]

Not a whole lot to go on here, but we have confirmed that the Sidekick Gecko is in the wild, and that the browser is fully functional. The Sidekick Gecko, if you remember, is one of two new Sidekick models rumored to be coming out this July. The phone is supposed to be a replacement [...]

Remember that new Sidekick we told you about a couple of days ago? What was previously a faceless name has revealed itself. The new T-Mobile device appears to take direct cues from the Sidekick ID, sporting flamboyantly colorful bumpers accenting the outside of the handset. The phone is rumored to sport the same Sharp LCD [...]

As if the 2 new mystery Sidekick devices we brought you yesterday weren’t enough, it looks like we might have yet another special edition Sidekick on our hands before too long. If the rumormill is correct, there’s a special Edition Tony Hawk Sidekick LX coming very soon. The device will be the first in what [...]

TmoNews is claiming to have the scoop on not one, but two new Sidekick devices. The first, codenamed the SK Gekko, is scheduled to launch on the 27th of July, while the second, codenamed the "Sidekick Aspen", is currently slated for a July 30th launch. We’re not betting one of these will be the red [...]

It’s official; Microsoft announced that its acquisition of Danger has been completed. Danger of course is the company behind Sidekick client software and we’ve all known for a while that this deal was underway. So what will this mean for Danger? First and foremost, the company will become part of a newly formed group within [...]

Well, would you look at this? In a move that I doubt anyone expected, it seems the Sidekick is actually capable of some decent gaming. 80’s gaming, that is. The application is by AcidAngel and appears to offer the full luxuries of a traditional NES emulator. No word on pricing or availibility, and considering ROMs [...]

We just got word that the T-Mobile Sidekick Slide is about to undergo a little color-change operation. Wow, that sounded weird. In any case, the new "fire red" Sidekick Slide should be hitting T-Mobile shops in late May, or early June according to our tipster. All you naysayers that complained about the purple color are [...]

Ugh! Let’s just hope the Danger OS doesn’t go away (we doubt it will). This actually might make sense, though. With Microsoft in the mix, Danger can now concentrate on the software and integrating new features like 3G, GPS, and Wi-Fi. Also Microsoft is said to be handling the backend system, so we shouldn’t be [...]

Are you a Sidekick user that’s been having significant issues with AOL Instant Messenger on your device? You’re not alone. Instant messages are being delayed, sent out of sequence, and in many cases not going through at all. T-Mobile, Danger, and AOL have all acknowledged that the issue exists, but have no projected date of [...]

Giz is reporting that the Sidekick Slide has pulled from T-Mobile. Various reports are coming in about the handset disappearing off T-Mobile’s site, and other insiders have said that the Slide has been yanked. From our brief visit to T-Mobile’s website, the Sidekick Slide simply lists as "Temporarily Unavailable." Whether this means they have temporary [...]

If you went out and bought yourself a brand new Motorola-manufactured Sidekick Slide, you might have noticed a problem — when you flip the screen up and down a couple times, the unit loses power — it restarts without notice. While this would be a major inconvenience just by itself, the new Sidekick Slide and [...]

We were fortunate enough to preview the Sidekick Slide way back in July, and for the most part, our opinions and views haven’t changed. Instead of just doing a review on the Sidekick Slide, we’re going to pin it head-to-head with the Sidekick LX. For each category you’ll see our opinions on both of the [...]
