Staying in touch with friends or work mates has never been
so easy, with phone, email and instant messenger functions
available at the touch of a button. The Sidekick II makes
instant messaging simple to use whilst on the move. The device
has a full QWERTY keypad that makes typing faster and more
accurate - perfect for staying in touch via text as well as
by voice.
The Sidekick II also boasts a large colour screen, which
is ideal for playing games or viewing photos. This swivels
open to become a mini laptop or used closed as a gaming device,
phone or camera, depending on how you wish to use it.
The built-in VGA camera with flash is ideal for capturing
and sharing special moments or funny experiences. Each image
is instantly stored online in a back-up gallery as you can
immediately send pictures to friends and loved ones or save
them to your PC and print them. The Sidekick II also compresses
the content to speed up downloads and optimizes for viewing.
With on-device storage - 32 MB ROM and 16MB flash memory
- there’s plenty of space to store images on the run.
In addition, users can assign photos from the photo gallery
to appear when certain people call, and as also use a picture,
for example of their favourite band, as the permanent image
on the Sidekick “sleep” screen.
On top of all this, the Sidekick II is the ideal personal
assistant - with calendar, notes and ‘To Do’ list
easily updated and always with you, helping you stay on top
of your hectic schedule.
The Sidekick II took the US by storm - with celebrities such
as Demi Moore, Paris Hilton, Jennifer Anison, and Justin Timberlake
among its fans - and is one of the most eagerly anticipated
gadgets to arrive in the UK in 2005.
Phil Chapman, T-Mobile UK’s Marketing Director, said,
“The Sidekick II is the ultimate communicator. This Sidekick
II is key to our web’n’walk offering, with access
to the full internet and instant messaging made easy wherever
you are.
Having seen the hype around this product in the US and witnessed
its amazing rise to become the must-have accessory, T-Mobile
is delighted to be the first and only company to offer the
Sidekick II in the UK.”
