Gadgets and just Gadgets

What’s small, cool, and made by Motorola? Not much? HA! We beg to differ. Take a look at the Sidekick Slide. It’s sexy, slidy, and runs Danger’s OS just fine. For now theirs isn’t yet a full review available but when I’ll put my hand on one, be sure that you’ll be the first to know.

The much-brighter LCD is similar to that of the Sidekick LX’s, except smaller. The back has a very polished feel to it and the 1.3-megapixel camera is a tiny bit better than the Sidekick 3’s, but not by much. The new Sidekick interface is loaded, but it’s just the standard fare you’d normally find. IM, Web browsing, messaging, etc. T-Mobile also got the Sidekick Slide to send picture messages, as opposed to sending e-mail with an attachment.

These are all four recent models: Sidekick 3, Sidekick iD, Sidekick LX and Sidekick Slide. What will you notice? Changes in flip action, changes in the flip sound effects, and remarkable difference in screen brightness and clarity. But one question, Motorola: if you’re so cool building the Sidekick Slide, how come you didn’t put a slide-open sound effect? I’ll be sure to follow up on that mystery.

For now theirs isn’t yet a full review available but when I’ll put my hand on one, be sure that you’ll be the first to know.
