Following the introduction of the Sidekick LX, the Sidekick Slide, designed by Motorola, will be available later this fall. With a new look and feel for the Sidekick family, the Sidekick Slide debuts a smaller design featuring a slide up QVGA screen, a compact QWERTY keyboard, full Sidekick messaging technology, and a black finish with deep purple accents.

“T-Mobile Sidekick customers are an amazingly loyal and enthusiastic group that are passionate about their phones and being the hub of their social circle,” said Jeff Hopper, vice president of marketing, T-Mobile USA. “The new Sidekick LX is a true upgrade that this group will love, with new features that our customers have been craving. The Sidekick Nation promotion also gives our customers – who already send us fun and creative videos about the Sidekick – an outlet to show off how much they love their device.”
