This is one Sidekick that doesn't play second-fiddle to anyone. Following the huge success of the Sidekick with our cousins over the pond, the third incarnation of T-Mobile's ultimate communication gadget and exclusive lifestyle accessory will be hitting UK shores next month.
Following the huge success, and popularity with high-profile celebrities, of the Sidekick II last year (think Paris Hilton and her leaked phone book), T-Mobile is bringing the eagerly anticipated Sidekick 3 to the UK for people who are fully engaged in their social universe and who aren’t afraid of standing out from the crowd.
The Sidekick 3 is the latest handset to offer simple, open Internet access through T-Mobile’s web’n’walk service - enabling you to surf the internet in the same way as you could on your PC. Navigating through the menu or browsing is done with an intuitive and distinctive trackball.
The Sidekick 3 makes staying in touch easier with phone, email and instant messenger functions available at the touch of a button. A quick flick of the thumb reveals a full QWERTY keypad that makes typing faster and more accurate.
The Sidekick 3 also boasts a large colour screen, which is ideal for playing games, viewing photos or web-pages. The trademark Sidekick screen swivels open to be used like a mini laptop or used closed as a gaming device, phone or camera, depending on how you wish to use it.
For the first time, the Sidekick brand now offers a built-in MP3 player within the handset.
The built-in 1.3 mega-pixel digital camera is ideal for capturing and sharing special moments. Within seconds of taking a picture, each image is stored online in a back-up gallery, enabling you to send pictures to friends and loved ones or save them to your PC and print them.
On top of all this, the Sidekick 3 is the ideal personal assistant (well, maybe not ideal) – with calendar, notes and ‘To Do’ list easily updated and always with you, helping you stay on top of your hectic schedule. The Sidekick 3 boasts an internal memory of 64MB Flash ROM and an external MiniSD card slot (with a 64MB Mini SD card included).
Phil Chapman, T-Mobile UK’s Marketing Director, said, “The Sidekick 3 is the ultimate communication device – for both social and entertainment aspects of people’s lives. This Sidekick brand has been hugely successful in the US and T-Mobile is delighted to be the first and only company to offer the Sidekick 3 in the UK.”
