T-Mobile Sidelines the Sidekick Slide
Oopsie, there is a problem here. I’d assume there will be a program to return affected devices announced at some point.
On Friday evening, T-Mobile issued an advisory noting that the company had ceased sales of its new Sidekick Slide. According to the statement, the move comes after handset manufacturer Motorola confirmed that some devices may power off when the slide door on the front side of the phone is opened or closed.
This is a shame: I had some time with the slide prior to its release, and liked its slider mechanism and slightly more compact size as compared with the new Sidekick LX. T-Mobile goes on to say that Motorola is working to identify the root cause of the power cycle issue; however, the company doesn’t give an estimate as to when we can expect sales to resume.
