With a delay due to an embargo in previewing some upcoming gadgets such as Sidekick Slide and Sidekick LX, T-Mobile has finnaly announced these devices on the market.

The much-brighter LCD of the Slider 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.

Though the LX has a Sharp Aquos screen, media playback and a longer battery, the Slide is more compact and thiner. It looks professional and the keypad is decent, but not fantastic

The Sidekick Slide will be available October 24 with a price tag of $199 with a two-year contract.

Being the first time Motorola has tried such a slider, they made a good job.
