Hiptop Slide for Telstra
Looks like T-Mobile isn’t the only one pushing the Slide this month. Telstra has a fancy Flash page up advertising the availability of the Hiptop Slide. Sam says the retail stores were telling him November 5th! Check out Telstra’s page for more info!
Update: We’ve been told the Hiptop Slide actually was available at the beginning of November, so go get yours now!

Melissa, Danger (the people who invented the device) call it the Hiptop. But TMobile (pretty much the only US carrier) markets it as the Sidekick.
Interesting how Telstra is picking up the Slide but not the LX. (Or not yet anyway) Is Danger only giving them the Slide because they think it won’t sell? Or are we underestimating the Slide?

i Had my ‘hiptop’ for about 4 to 5 months i got it as a presant about a year ago and i absoutley loved it but i dont know why but it didnt work on the internet and it was with telstra..and still is but it does not come up with G7 i think it is it had like a reception bar and that was alll and then i re-started it and it went back to the hiptop slide make an account and never worked until i figured how to take it off that screen :3 and it never worked with any simcard again :[ and then it broke buttons fell ofball came out (put it back in) but i had enough of clearing my mail box all the time and now its gone i dont know were but i lost it and (im only 12)
