T-Mobile announces Sidekick LX and Sidekick Slide

We’ve been expecting it, and we already know pretty much everything there is to know about both of the upcoming Sidekick models – but that doesn’t make the announcement from T-Mobile any less significant.

The Sidekick carrier has just gone official with their announcement of the Sharp/Danger Sidekick LX and Motorola Sidekick Slide. The Sidekick LX will be taking its place at the head of the Sidekick-table – with a 3-inch widescreen display that borrows Sharp’s AQUOS technology, 1.3 megapixel camera, 128MB microSD card, and configurable mood lighting, it’s not hard to see why the Sidekick LX is all that.

T-Mobile Sidekick LX

Motorola’s Sidekick Slide will be bringing up the slimmer and lower-end of the Sidekick lineup with a svelte profile and a “sliding” screen (hence the name) instead of a “flip-out” screen, a la the Sidekick LX.

T-Mobile Sidekick Slide

The Sidekick LX should hit T-Mobile stores on October 24th for an on-contract price of $299 – in your choice of “midnight blue” and “espresso brown.” We’re looking for the Sidekick Slide to debut on November 3rd for $199 – you only get that purple/black color scheme to choose from.

Don’t forget, those Sidekick LX reservation cards should be available at your nearest T-Mobile store today! Go out and get your Sidekick LX reserved today.
