I really hope its true, cuz I have a slide, and I’ve been watching vids on utube of the sklx09 and I want it baaaadddd. So I hope it comes out here. (Btw I live in queensland – AUS) lol.

Laura i did the exact same thing but on the 20th of august i think? and i went to every store i could think of where i saw hiptops and they said they arent selling them due to the 2G network being disconnected next year.
anyways
i asked the telstra shop if there was a new one coming out, they said yes but they dont know when. i asked harvey norman and they said yes but in a couple of months. so i really dont know what to believe anymore. its pretty *** that we cant get any hiptops atm >:(

i live in australia, queensland and I went into telstra on the 15th of august to purchase a hiptop slide but was told they have discontinued them. i asked the lady if there is a new one coming out but she said she doesnt know for certain. i think its stupid if they take such a good selling phone off the market if they arnt going to bring out a new one. but im really hoping they are. it would sell fantastically

well i work at a harvey norman store and we sell the hiptops and every now and again i just check to see if anything has magically appeared in my stock list (ie the 2009 lx – which it never does) and today, instead of the RRP for the slide being $689 like usual, it went way down to $499 with an even lower cost price (information i cannot release) now thats quite a significant drop seeings i check once every week or so and it doesnt seem like any accident… its not like we just go changing prices for phones that we rarely get in. to me, this is a good thing. SLIDES are coming down in price…. perhaps to make way for a bigger better phone? oh i hope so!

yes i know, telstra would have it more professional and would not have the detailing. plus its july and were still stuck with the crummy slide
i hope they release the LX-2009 and for ppl who cannot afford it the iD on pre-paid… evn tho theres a one in a billion chance they wud do that but it;d be way good

Im sure its a fake, if it is true I will be really angry, because I just signed up with a slide on a 24 month contract in february!

I call fakesies because the Telstra logo that is used is from when they launched the next G network. hopefuly they are just lazy and haven’t changed it in their email system and that this news is true
