T-Mobile Debuts Limited Edition T-Mobile Sidekicks

T-Mobile has partnered with fashion designer Diane von Furstenberg and streetwear giant Lifted Research Group to create the latest limited edition T-Mobile Sidekick devices. As the T-Mobile Sidekick continues to redefine the way people communicate, the latest limited edition devices will change the way people view communications — literally. The redefining makeovers were orchestrated by two of today's hottest and most authentic names — Diane von Furstenberg and Lifted Research Group. Packed with the same great technology features as the T-Mobile Sidekick 3, the new limited edition T-Mobile Sidekicks will be available beginning Oct. 30.

Diane von Furstenberg made fashion history with her signature jersey wrap dresses. Today, the Diane von Furstenberg brand is internationally recognizable. Exuding a free-spirited independence and straightforward style, the Diane von Furstenberg Sidekick from T-Mobile is dressed in sleek black and features Diane's signature hot-pink lips. Lifted Research Groups' slogan is simple, "underground inventive, overground effective." "Underground inventive" meaning: how something starts out, the beginning, the roots. "Overground effective" meaning: what happens when those roots are cultivated and become strong. L-R-G is the first company to bridge the gap between the skateboarding and urban communities. With an eye toward self-expression, the Lifted Research Group Sidekick from T-Mobile is hidden within the traditional baby tree camouflage and customized with L-R-G's iconic imagery.

The T-Mobile Sidekick 3 provides a variety of communications options, including phone capabilities, built-in support for three major instant messaging clients, personal e-mail, and Web browsing to communicate on your own terms with those who matter most. The limited edition T-Mobile Sidekicks pack a powerful, feature-rich punch, equipped with the same extensive feature-set as the T-Mobile Sidekick 3. In addition to using the device's voice-calling capabilities, users can stay connected at all times with instantaneous access to e-mail, instant messenger (AIM, Yahoo! Messenger and MSN Messenger), and text messaging on the full QWERTY keyboard.

Web-browsing capabilities, enhanced with EDGE technology, ensure faster downloading speeds for accessing favorite social networking Web sites and photo-sharing communities. Additional features that have made this device a hit with tastemakers and trendsetters alike include a 1.3 megapixel camera, an MP3 player, Bluetooth technology, a trackball for easier navigation, and its slimmest size ever.
