Sidekick 3 UK – in stores now!

By Chris Davies on Saturday, Dec 9th 2006 39 Comments

I’ve had a few people email me asking if I know when T-Mobile UK will start selling the Sidekick 3 – well, I was in a T-Mobile store yesterday and managed to have a play with the single model they had in stock. Apparently they’ve had three-times the demand for them than supplies, with stores only getting replacements in once the first has sold. So my advice is, ring ahead! As of writing this, the T-Mobile website still has no mention of it.

My first impressions were that while the keyboard is good, the UI is a bit “kiddie”. Hopefully the demo unit winging its way will change my mind on that point; look out for our UK-model-specific review soon!

Black Sidekick 3 in the flesh

Oh goodness, wanty wanty wanty! The Boy Genius has managed to get his lucky mitts on an all-black Danger Sidekick 3 – not painted, oh no, solid black – the origin of which is rather uncertain. Danger refuse to confirm or deny that it’s an upcoming model, so it could either be pre-production or a celebrity-special. Here’s hoping for a general release!

Remember that moss green Lifted Research Group limited edition T-Mobile Sidekick we wrote about early this month? Well its been joined by this colourful little minx – the Diane von Furstenberg Sidekick, available in limited numbers from October 30th. For those of you not particularly “in the know” about fashion, Diane von Furstenberg has gone from innovating designs to being an international brand, easily identified by the signature hot-pink lips.

Both the DvG sidekick and the Lifted Research Group Sidekick will be available exclusively from T-Mobile stores and their website.

T-Mobile Press Release

Sidekick III coming to the UK?

By Chris Davies on Friday, Oct 6th 2006 13 Comments

T-Mobile Sidekick III Sidekick fans in the Britain have been gnashing their teeth in anticipation of T-Mobile UK getting their act together and releasing the third incarnation of the instant email device; up until now, we’ve had to make do with the Sidekick II, while our American brothers tease us with news of colour-changing trackballs and sleek casings.

Looking at the T-Mobile UK site today, however, and there doesn’t appear to be any mention of the Sidekick II. Yes, it was always quite tricky to find, but there was nonetheless a link for it. Does this herald an upgrade in the works? If anybody from T-Mobile would like to confirm this (please!) or deny it (boo hiss) then do get in touch…

Moss Green Sidekick 3 exposed

When I first started writing here at SlashGear I said I’d be teasing the American readership about all the cool phones we have in the UK ages before you. Well dammit I’ve come unstuck on this one – we only have the Sidekick 2 while you lucky sods have the third one. Now, to rub salt into the wound, T-Mobile are planning a Lifted Research Group limited edition which comes in a to-be-truthful-not-especially-pleasant green.

An Engadget Mobile reader, Andy, scanned the photo from the November issue of XXL Magazine. Sadly no hints at price or release date, but it’s likely to be at a premium over the standard SK3. Personally, I’d prefer the black one they’ve been hinting at.

Shhh. Don’t even utter these words because my wife might hear them. I recently dropped a few hundred smackers for her Sidekick III. Gizmodo’s reader Abe snooped around sidekick.com website and found a number of Easter eggs that leads us to believe that T-Mobile may release a Sidekick III in a few weeks – possibly October timeframe with a price tag of $399.
