Sidekick Slide and Sidekick LX
T-Mobile announced the two newest sidekicks- the Sidekick Slide and the Sidekick LX.

Hiptop3 reports that the Sidekick 4 is not the Motorola Zante, but rather a device code named “Shuriken.” The Sidekick 4 has a 3 inch widescreen display, microSD slot, a 1.3 megapixel camera, and will be produced by Sharp. It measures 131×61x17.9 mm. The Shuriken Sidekick 4 will launch in quarter 4 of 2007 first in the US, then in Australia, and then in the UK and Germany.
