Danger

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 [...]

Quick shout out to Trileet Inc., the makers of the awesome RSS reader app called MyNewsroom on the Sidekick devices! We just installed it for the first time, and beyond it being one of the best mobile RSS readers we’ve seen, Boy Genius Report is in the featured RSS feed lists! Totally rad, guys. Keep [...]

While it is not a full-scale roll out quite yet, there is definitely an OTA for the Sidekick LX making the rounds to a select group of users. What does it offer? Does it fix the low speaker volume issues people were reporting? Does it fix the buzz you hear when you make a call? [...]

We know the Sidekick LX doesn’t actually see full-scale distribution until the 24th, but seriously dudes and dudettes — where’s my damn 10-Pin Bowling game? I’m trying to mess people up OTA style and I can’t get my fix! You better start crackin’ them whips Danger, ‘cuz your devs are slacking and we’re getting impatient! [...]

As if we needed any more evidence that the Sidekick LX is dropping in the very, very neat future, T-Mobile has gone ahead and uploaded the device manual onto their support site. Seeing as we’ve had our hands on a Sidekick LX of our very own for quite some time now, there’s not a whole [...]

Remember that new T-Mobile Sidekick Unlimited plan we told you about a while ago? Well it seems that T-Mobile has another trick up its sleeve. In addition to changing the price point from $20 to $19.99 (yeah, we’re serious), the company is also set to include unlimited MMS. Sure, it sounds like a feature that [...]

Can’t decide if you’re going to get a Sidekick LX or Sidekick Slide? But if you get a Sidekick LX, what color are you getting? Ah ha, my friends, we’re here to help with that. First off, we have to say that the press photos of the Sidekick LX really don’t show the color accurately, [...]
