Sidekick 3 Manual released, pictures

[TheZodiac]

Looking good - not that I didnt know that from the beginning, but its official now.

miniSD slot, any capacity
BT 1.1 (oh well)
USB 1.1 (silly, but effective)

BRIGHTER screen, music player, 1.3MP camera, no video as of yet, but that can be fixed with an app, I guess.

Comes with stereo headphones, though it seems the BT for now is limited to just wireless headsets.

Since when did Sharp make the sidekick? I always though it was owned by Hiptop or Danger.

Keep an eye on MB on Monday night (US time).

Danger is the software company. They contract Sharp (and previously Samsung at some moments) to produce the actual handsets.

And Brad, why do you tease us so...

And Brad, why do you tease us so...
I like to tease... Just wait and see.

Are Danger going to release a completely new model??

[TheZodiac]

Looks are similar Car, but its essentially the same with updated hardware and BT, expandable memory and their next OS installment. Its a bit smaller, too. Pretty sleek, I think.

[brad]

OK, my bad, you guys are going to have to wait another week to see what I see. But keep watching the skys!

[TheZodiac]

the skys?

Wait, are you talking about the Sidekick III, or what brad is foreshadowing?:confused:

The SK3 review will be posted "soon." I can't give you any details about it until it is officially announced, which is when the review will go live.

[carcomptoy]

So that's what brad is referring to then?

I still don't understand how the new trackball work...does it roll, or what? Cause from the looks of the pictures, it looks like the trackpoint from IBM laptops:confused:

Btw, why is it CSK...what's the C for??

Watch the video clip in the review, you'll hear me spinning it as I play a game at the end.

[carcomptoy]

Well, when I was watching the video and hearing the spinning that's how I got confused in the first place. I had thought all this time that it was like a joystick so the spinning threw me off:o
