Seems like just yesterday we were huddled in excited discussion over
what sort of equipment Motorola had to contribute to the Hiptop world, and if you've blinked recently, you may have missed it altogether. The
Sidekick Slide has now been dropped from T-Mobile's lineup -- likely in response to the recent release of the
Sidekick -- now moving on to join the
iD in Danger purgatory. Stock of Moto's sole Danger-powered handset has already dried up online; the carrier tells us that there should still be "limited quantities" in stores across the land, but there's no telling how long that's going to last, so get 'em while you can -- if you're into that sort of thing.

Wow I'm first and I hate being first...
but either way, I think that the slide was probably the best out of all the sidekicks. Not to thick, not to long, better call quality than the previous models. Though I still hated the software, the hardware was decent. Personally, I've got an iPhone, but a friend of mine thoroughly enjoys his sidekick, and I do to from time to time =P

Pre-teens everywhere are crying.

come on ! We did you expect a 3 + year run like the razr or nokia 6133. the slide had it is 6 month run, of course after tmo sits on it for 6 months.
Plus, the sidekick is a loyal customer, a unique customer, you either love it or hate. i am sure that is why they went back to traditional small size with latest camera, keypad, etc.

We just got a limited edition red model in Australia, what gives?
Hannah @ Sep 26th 2008 7:47PM
Limited edition? Maybe it's just checking whether or not the sales will be good. Maybe if the phone gets sold, and is a big hit, they might sell it. But since apparently sidekick slide is getting discontinued, then theres only little demand for the supply that's provided.
