Wooden Sidekick 3

Wooden Sidekick 3
Some people will be getting the Sidekick LX for Christmas this year, while others will be getting the Sidekick Slide, but one lucky lady will be getting a one of a kind Sidekick 3 for her Christmas present. A Sidekick 3 made of wood. The creator says that the Sidekick 3 is the favorite phone of his lady friend. However, he also mentions that he did not make the screen flippable because “she’s not THAT special”. *ouch* It looks like it will be a bit bulky for her pocket, but it’s the thought that counts, right?

The girl behind the camera is right, the Sidekick definitely did not work at Burning Man.

Jamie Kennedy – Not My Sock

Monday, October 8th, 2007

More T-Mobile celebrity buzz, this time from Jamie Kennedy, in a pretty funny sketch titled “Not My Sock”…

Everybody knows our Sidekick’s need to stay scratch free and a sock is a great way to do that.

…Where’s the trust?

Sidekick 3 vs iPhone

sidekick 3 vs iphone

Looks like this eBay user is going with the Sidekick 3 since he’s sellng iPhones on eBay with his Sidekick 3 visible in the background. Not sure why the auctions are up over $700 and $900 when you can still get the iPhones in the stores.

thanks to DJBattery for spotting this one

More Sidekick iD Videos

Friday, April 13th, 2007

Our favorite so far is this press release video that was released today. It’s intent is to show people using their Sidekick iDs in everyday life. One problem… the woman in the video is talking into the wrong end.

Sidekick 3 Video Themes

Sunday, April 1st, 2007


Our favorite Sidekick theme site has somehow uncovered a hidden feature on the Sidekick themes, video themes. They’ve posted a few video themes already. Basically they act like normal themes, changing backgrounds, bubbles, and icons, but instead of playing a sound when you flip open the screen, it plays a video in the background. There are only a couple up right now, but they’re very cool to see in action.
Hope you had a HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY!

SKiD Marks at CTIA 2007

Thursday, March 29th, 2007


Looks like someone might be in some hot water over at UT Starcom after a banner was put up by their booth with a larger than life Sidekick iD. Of course the device hasn’t been officially launched yet, and T-Mobile probably wasn’t happy that someone was jumping the gun on their marketing. I can just imagine the conversation at the UT Starcom booth:

“Why is this banner up? This isn’t supposed to be up yet, it’s not official!”
“Oh @!#$ Should we take it down?”
“No, that would be too obvious that we’re trying to hide something. Let’s just spraypaint over the ‘iD’ parts”
“Brilliant!”

Yes, with a can of black spray paint they covered up the ‘iD’ name and the buttons, leaving the familiar screen and keyboard. This led the boys over at Gizmodo to speculate that the keyboard and the screen will be the same. Keyboard, yes. Screen, no. They’re going with a lower quality screen to help keep costs down.

Thanks to Gizmodo for the photos and everyone who emailed this one in.
