Sidekick III launches July 10th

Alright Sidekick fans, here it is, the date you've been waiting for. Contrary to the many rumors floating around about the Sidekick III's release date, no, it's not June 5th, 9th, 20th, or the 26th. We obtained some very reliable inside information that T-Mobile is actually all set to introduce the latest Sidekick iteration on July 10th. Yep, that's right kids, it looks like we're still more than a month out from launch. Sorry to be the bearers of bad news.

P.S. -We asked T-Mobile for a statement, but they declined to comment.

How reliable is this date? I got my T-Mobile MDA because I was sick of the Sidekick II, and the MDA isn't all that great. I hate the freezing and I hate the Windows Mobile operating system.

If it does come out July 10th, will we see something before July 10th with preorder or anything? I think T-Mobile had a page up with information about the MDA and SDA before they were available for order.

Thanks for this information Engadget Mobile!

Good for T-Mobile! But what about Fido here in Canada?? They carry the Sidekick (Hiptop) as well and also do the $20/month internet plan.
Any word on them carrying it soon??
