FCC Docs for the Sidekick 2009
When it rains, it pours. We’ve got a release date, we’ve got in the wild pics, and now we have FCC docs. Is there any belief that the Sidekick 2009 is not on its way? The FCC docs have some external photos and whatnot withheld from the public under the typical confidentiality rules, but it’s easy to tell that this is the Sidekick 2009, aka the Blade, aka the PV300. The confidentiality expires on June 13th, a month after release date, May 13th, which makes sense too. There’s not a whole lot of actual info in the FCC docs that we didn’t already know other than the battery is 1250mAh (a touch more than the 2008) and that the FCC had the devices for testing as far back as December 2008. But if you want to go through the incredibly boring FCC tests yourself, go right ahead. The FCC Id for the Sidekick 2009 is ‘APYNAR0065’.

Its about F’n time.
I have been checking for docs every F’n day. Too bad the external photos and user manual aren’t available until June 13th…

So what does everybody think of the 2 color options available. Orchid, and carbon?

So excited! Hopefully new pictures will be out soon! And maybe an early release for current T-Mobile customers! I want to know more about the specs though, I wish we could find out more about the updated OS and features.

“USA AND CANADA ONLY”
Does this mean that the sidekick 2009 “Blade” will not be released in Australia?
Because, that’s just gunna piss alotta people off….

So its getting a 1250 battery.
The lx has 1450.. Does that mean the phone will have a shorter standby/talktime?
It better have some good power management.

wait I’m confused. I thought the privacy thing ended April 13th? and wouldn’t it be pointless if the pics and manual were released on June 13th if the supposed release date is may 13th?
(if anyone can help me out id appreciate it)

Robert P.: Perhaps that’s because the FCC is a regulatory body for the USA (perhaps they and Canada’s similar regulatory body have mutual agreements), not Australia. Or perhaps it has to do with the frequencies used in the USA and Canada, which may not be the same frequencies used in other parts of the world. In which case the phones sold for the USA & Canada markets would have to be labeled as such.
Crazyforiphones: We’ll have to see how the ’09 does compared to the current LX. The ’09 has a more advanced processor so it’s possible that the power management is quite a bit better. An example of this type of thing is the Intel Core2Duo CPUs vs. the previous generation Pentium IV CPUs. The Core2Duos are faster but use a lot less power.
aajr92: The confidentiality agreement with the FCC simply means that the FCC itself is not allowed to publicly reveal the confidential documents before the specified date.

carbon. as much as I love purple, orchid is more pink. hate pink. I would have preferred black like the 08 in my opinion but, carbon it is.

whats with sidekicks always coming out in those weird colors?? i want a black kick or a white one. i had to have mine customized to make it white. i have it for salwe by the way. if anybody wants it just let me know. im supremeheartbreaker@yahoo.com if you want it. its for sale!! its white and blue!!
200 bux gets it.
getting back to the point. i have to customize all my kicks to get them the way i want. i want a black phone. why do i have to get a stupid carbon one?? thats like a really dark grey instead of a black. and whatever an orchid is it shound like a purple or a pink jund of thing and i will not walk around with that.

The USA and Canada thing is to do with the free recycling program for the phone and battery. It only works in the the US and Canada.
