SlashGear JapanSomeone else decided to take a crack at changing up the PSP a bit. This one was designed by Samuel Lau and although it will likely never be a reality, it is still fun to look at.

Concept : PSP gets combined with the Sidekick
By Abby McVay on Thursday, Jul 24th 2008 6 CommentsTony Hawk Sidekick LX up for grabs – but act quick!
By Chris Davies on Friday, Jul 18th 2008 No CommentsIf touchscreen keyboards aren’t your thing, and you’re looking for some hard QWERTY action, T-Mobile would like to remind you that the Sidekick has been offering messaging cleverness since back before the iPhone was a fanboi rumor. And to celebrate the launch of the Tony Hawk Sidekick LX LE, they’re giving one of the handsets away over at their new wiki.
DANGER bought by Microsoft
By James Allan Brady on Monday, Feb 11th 2008 1 CommentGoogle buys up one of the guys who started DANGER (I am talking about the guy who also started Android) so Microsoft goes and buys up DANGER. In case you are unaware of who DANGER is, they are the software developer of the Sidekicks that I’ve become so fond of, and they also produce the software for said handsets.
Sidekick slide back at T-Mobile
By James Allan Brady on Thursday, Dec 6th 2007 2 CommentsIt’s like a game of red light, green light with this phone, but its back for now at T-Mobile. They had some issues with the battery/connectors when they were first released, but presumably, if they are selling them again, those are fixed.
Patent leak: is this Nokia’s next iteration of their internet tablet?
By James Allan Brady on Friday, Nov 23rd 2007 No CommentsJudging from the pictures, without being given any size numbers, it looks like it could be their next internet tablet. The patent is dated November 8th, this year, and there aren’t any details as to whether it’s a Symbian OS or Maemo based device.
It does appear to have a camera and a touch screen from the patent application, those two things alone will probably net it a spot in the N-Series of Nokia devices. Although, it looks like, if it were small enough, that Nokia might be making the next Sidekick?
T-Mobile Sidekick Slide Woes Consoled
By James Allan Brady on Wednesday, Nov 21st 2007 No CommentsSo our friendly PR person has informed us that the issue with the new Slide power cycling at random times has been solved. Motorola has found the issue to be with the battery contacts.
Motorola is fixing this issue on all new Sidekick Slides and they have found, and are testing, a solution for devices that have already been made and sold. You should be able to find the Sidekick Slide on T-Mobile shelves again some time next week.
T-Mobile offering a “New Deal”
By James Allan Brady on Wednesday, Nov 21st 2007 No CommentsMaybe not the kind that Roosevelt was talking about, but I’d say a free round trip plane ticket just for signing up for a new contract with T-Mobile is a good deal. That’s right, beginning on Black Friday (November 23rd, a.k.a. this Friday) certain myFaves contracts will net you a form for a booking request.
The booking request is how you get your flight, it will get you from any one of 59 cities to one of 10 choice destinations, Vegas, NYC, LA, Orlando, Miami, ATL, Boston, Chi-Town, Dallas, and D.C., your choice. So, if you’ve been reading our reviews of the various T-Mobile products and have been considering picking one up for yourself (personally I recommend the Sidekick LX, I freakin’ love this thing) there probably won’t be a much better time than when you get a free round trip ticket, that way, at least if you can’t visit someone who’s in your five, you can go somewhere warm, or at least different.

T-Mobile Sidekick Slide power off problem – sales suspended
By Vincent Nguyen on Saturday, Nov 17th 2007 10 CommentsT-Mobile USA suspended sales of the T-Mobile Sidekick Slide earlier this evening, November 16, after Motorola confirmed that some Sidekick Slide might inadvertently power off when the slide door on the front of the phone is opened or closed.
As of right now, Motorola is clueless as to the root cause of the power cycle issue, but they’re doing everything humanly possible to get to the bottom of this problem.
SlashGear Review: T-Mobile SideKick LX
By James Allan Brady on Wednesday, Nov 14th 2007 8 CommentsAlright, so I got the Sidekick LX the other day, and I have been playing with it for a while. The people at T-Mobile were great and sent me the device to toy around with, sadly the service where I live is shoddy at best, but the city where I go to school has great service, so I got to really test it out up there.
First off, let me state that I have never even seen a Sidekick before this one, so, this won’t be a review comparing this Sidekick to other previous Sidekicks, this will be a review about this Sidekick model, with comparisons to other devices I have used where applicable. Let me start by saying that this may not be the best phone if have ever had my hands on, but it is the best everything-else device I have had my hands on.
