New T-Mobile Sidekick launches

Simply called the "Sidekick," T-Mobile has officially revealed the latest addition to its beloved-by-teens messenger phone line. This is the first Sidekick to launch since Microsoft bought out the company, Danger, that designs the phone's software. The new edition boasts a 400 x 240 WQVGA display, 2-megapixel camera with video recording capability, Bluetooth 2.0 with A2DP, and a microSD slot. In addition, further appealing to the yoof market, the Sidekick gets user-customisable shells, available directly from sidekickshells.com for $14.99 a pop. The T-Mobile Sidekick is available in the States now in select T-Mobile stores and online for $150 on a two-year contract.
