Some of the guys (Thanks FULLY EQUIPPED and Brandon) over at the MySK4 forums let us know that about information posted on T-Mobile’s site about a possible MySpace application. We gathered some more info from sleuthing users on hiptop.com/forums Unfortunately the page is now coming up as “no longer exists” now, but some screenshots were snagged by abercrombieboy:

After posting our find of the Zante manual without due credit (grumble grumble), Boy Genius Report steps it up a notch with renderings of the new Sidekick devices on Engadget Mobile. Not much more to report other than some pretty pictures though.

Remember when we posted about the Zante pictures uncovered on Flickr? They were quickly pulled and/or the exif data changed. But Danger’s gone ahead and put a placeholder for the manual to this elusive Zante device on their very own servers. Looks like the next device from Danger will have an OS upgrade to v4.0 and is at least internally known as the Danger Zante. What features do you hope to see in the next version?

What’s this? A little more poking around in the whois databases and we’ve uncovered two more domains registered by T-Mobile, sidekicklx.com and sidekickle.com. Unfortunately these names don’t give us much as far as clues. SidekickLE.com was registered on May 31st, 2007 but SidekickLX.com was registered on May 18th, 2007. While Sidekick LX could be the original thought for the name of the Sidekick Slide, it could also be another device entirely. We’re guessing the Sidekick LE is going to be related to a special edition Sidekick, as T-Mobile has a habit of putting out (highly popular) Limited Edition (LE) devices. We’ll let you know as soon as we find out more about all of these newly registered names.

Whois registry info is sometimes a great way to find out about gadgets that aren’t released yet. We did some poking around and discovered that T-Mobile has registered a new domain related to the sidekick, sidekickslide.com. They registered it on May 31st, 2007 as indicated by the whois information. Sometimes companies will register domain names that are similar to existing products just to prevent other people from using them. But this domain is something completely different than any of the other Sidekick devices, so we’re guessing the name of the next Sidekick is going to be the Slide.

Could this be the Zante that we uncovered earlier through Flickr? Or maybe the Sidekick X? Why the name “Slide”? We’re guessing it has something to do with the way the screen opens. Danger may be putting out a device that doesn’t have the familiar flip in attempt for something new. The patent filings from years ago have a phone design that has a screen that slides up rather than flips out. Besides, with the (horrible) Helio Ocean release, everyone’s talking about sliders these days. And we’re also willing to bet that this is new hardware made by Motorola based on the timing and the leaked Powerpoint slide.

We don’t have any release date on this device yet, but if T-Mobile is registering a domain then chances are it’s coming soon. Besides, with the iPhone slated to come out in 2 weeks, T-Mobile is going to need something new on the market to compete. We’re just hoping it’s better than the Slide click.

Danger’s job page, while always interesting to look at, sometimes drops clues regarding what features they’re working on for future devices. This time it looks like they’re going to be working on GPS support via bluetooth. Here’s the internship listing:

What’s this? A new device? Aaron Landry uncovered some bits of information on Flickr that look like a new device (with camera) is in the works. If you look at the EXIF data it shows “Danger Zante”. Could this be the Sidekick X we’re hearing about? Click here to see what Aaron found. Last time we checked, there wasn’t a camera company named “Danger”.

UPDATE: Images have been pulled from Flickr. New device? new operating system build? a Sidekick iD with a camera attachment? who knows…

We got the image above from someone who probably wants to remain anonymous. We’re told it’s a slide from a PowerPoint presentation given at the T-Mobile National Marketing Meeting last week in Twenty Nine Palms, CA. While it’s not as exciting as pictures of an actual device, it tells us a few things. The “Sidekick X RAZR Multimedia device” basically says it’s going to be made by Motorola, it’ll at least play music (possibly even video since they mention “multimedia” instead of “MP3”), and it will be a smaller form factor as is typical of the RAZR phones. Speculation past that at this point is probably just speculation. Whether or not this “Sidekick X RAZR” name will stick is yet to be seen as well, but chances are the “Sidekick” name is still going to be used since it mentions their “intentions with the Sidekick line”. What’s with the “4:49” in the middle? We’re assuming this was put up on a projector at the conference with a countdown timer to when the session was due to start, a common sight for anyone attending conferences. What’s with the blur? Out of courtesy, we covered up someone’s full name so they don’t catch any heat. Unfortunately no time line or expected drop date, so we expect it’s far in the future. As always, we’ll keep you updated on what we hear.
