Sidekick Slide in October

If T-Mobile says it, it’s pretty much official. The Sidekick Slide (aka the Sidekick Zante) is coming in October, at least to the UK. On T-Mobile UK’s Coming Soon page they have a listing for the Sidekick Slide with “Expected October” listed (along with a confirmation of a 1.3megapixel camera). We find it pretty odd that the UK would get a Sidekick model before the US based on the history of the devices being released. In the past a device has always launched in the US and then trickled out to other markets. Perhaps this is a change in things and T-Mobile is trying out the Slide in the UK market before releasing it in the US. This would definitely explain the lack of FCC documents so far. It looks like maybe the US will be getting the Sidekick LX while others will be getting the Sidekick Slide, at least for the time being.

Thanks Luca

UPDATE: Looks like T-Mobile has pulled the listing from the Coming Soon page….

   Ok my only concern is when can I get my hands on the Sidekick LX because it is really hard to not spend my money and the phone I have right now is not gonna last forever.

   1.3 Megapixels !!?!! VERY dissapointed. PEASE Shuriken/LX, have a 2 Megapixel camera, and better screen quality. If it dosnt have 1 of the two, i WONT be with T Mobile next year.

   If you read the specs, both LX and slide models have screen resolution improvements, which is a relief finally. I dont think the 3’s resolution is bad if you have the right theme.

   From the sources I’ve hurd from, the LX is going to be a great device..

   I was really disappointed with the 2MP camera on the iPhone. I’ve pretty much given up on phone cameras for anything but a gritty shot. A better screen would be very welcome though.
