The Sidekick 3 launches for the socially-active

June 22, 2006 The next generation T-Mobile Sidekick 3 was unveiled at a red carpet A-list launch party last night where Hollywood’s elite got the first look at what is being pitched as a must-have communications device for the socially-active. Despite the pizzazz, the Sidekick 3 appears to stack up well, being 20 percent smaller than its predecessor and featuring a new trackball for easy one-handed navigation and Bluetooth so it can be used with a wireless headset. It also now has an MP3 player, a megapixel camera, built-in support for the major IM clients (AIM, Yahoo! Messenger and MSN Messenger) and integrated support for EDGE (for faster downloads). In keeping with the “in-crowd” marketing theme, existing T-Mobile customers will be the first to be able to purchase the new Sidekick, beginning June 28, with the public able to purchase from July10.
