Sidekick Slide shipping late Q3?

by Thomas Ricker posted Jun 20th 2007 at 7:33AM

Hiptop3 may have scored a coup if this document sent in by a reader turns out to be real. If you look closely, you'll see that the leaked doc is about the Sidekick Slide, AKA Motorola Q700, AKA the Sidekick 4. The photo apparently snapped yesterday by a T-Mobile Sidekick 3 (if you believe the EXIF data), shows a product finalization of August 27, 2007 with a "SK SLD" release sometime in "Late Q3." That would make the end of September the outer-most retail date. Of course, there are contradicting Q3 2008 dates above which seem to reference Sidekick L(X) and L(E) devices. In other words, we don't know. Now get your Photoshopping conspiracies ready and sound-off in the comments.

Fake. Motorola icon is a different original resolution , and the line where release is mis-spelled as realese intrudes on the "danger" logo/graphic(?) below it. that would have to be done in a app that supports layering as opposed to Word based wordprocessing editor.

Why does Danger and Hiptop only produce products for T-mobile .. I realize that they had a contract but for how long?

@FATHERSTORM

You are getting way too technical. Simple: Word doc printed on letterhead. I work for an OEM manufacturer that produces AV cables and other items for Sony and the correspondence between our companies is shoddy at best.

What good would it be to fake this doc. All it proves is that the sidekick franchise continues. Why wouldn't it?

Here is a prediction: Within the next ten years we'll see a successor to the Wii and a price drop on the PS3. My friend's friend told me so and I'll be sure to post a picture of somoe f'ing letter to prove it.

All I know is they better put something out soon or I'm trading my trusty SKII in on an Ocean or an iPhone. If they were smart they would "release" some sneak shots of it.
