Motorola made phone for messaging and browsing

T-Mobile have announced that they will have the exclusive rights to the new Sidekick Slide when it is released in the UK next month. The Sidekick Slide is manufactured by Motorola and is the first Sidekick to feature a slide design to reveal the qwerty keyboard, rather than the traditional swivel design.

Sidekick phones are generally used by people wanting to email, Instant Message and browse the internet – the qwerty keyboard obviously helps with this kind of communication. This Sidekick is the smallest in the range, and should mean that more people will consider this as their next mobile.

T-Mobile have also collaborated with Danger Inc to provide personalised web space for all users that can be used to back up all data, to avoid a total loss of your contacts, photo’s or music.

Sidekick phones are very popular among socialites in America and are often used by the likes of Paris Hilton and Lindsey Lohan, but have not really seen that kind of popularity over here with UK customers preferring smaller more stylish phones. However, with social networking sites like Facebook and MySpace becoming more and more popular the Sidekick could take off with people wanting access to their profile and being able to Instant Message on the go.
