T-Mobile today introduced two new versions of the famous Sidekick handsets, the Sidekick LX and the Slide. Last week, the FCC spilled the beans about the new Motorola Sidekick Slide, so this announcement comes no longer as a surprise.

Made by Sharp, the LX is just an updated version of the Sidekick 3. Features include a 3" WQVGA screen with improved swivel joint, 128MB microSD card included, a camera with flash, and it will start shipping on October 17th to existing T-Mobile customers and on 24th for new ones for the price of $299 with a 2-year contract.

The Slide is manufactured by Motorola and it's a smaller version of the LX. The interesting thing about the Slide is that instead of swiveling, the 2" QVGA display will slide up.

It also features a 1.3 megapixel camera, but unlike the one found on the LX, it won't have flash. You can pick up the Sidekick Slide on November 7th for $199 with a 2-year contract.

for $300, I'd rather get the iPhone. I love the sidekick, but these things are too expensive.

sidekick 3 is alright, when i flip it the side came off though. sidekick LX is a good phone; made well. sidekick slide looks like crap and probably is. i wouldn't get it

i think that sidekik lx is great but the slide not so great the buttons r flat and the lx is not and u could type much faster on the lx. the slide u can't type fast also the slide is lame cuz u don't get attention when to slide but when u flip people look at u amazed because it's a LX but when to slide there lik ohh it's wac
