Auto Power Off on Sidekick Slides

Sales of T-Mobile / Motorola Sidekick Slides have been suspended because it has been discovered that some of them are just turning themselves off!

Rumors about about a Google phone are hot again after the Wall Street Journal reported that Google has invested hundreds of millions of dollars in its cell phone project and is negotiating with US and European mobile operators.

The ZANTE by Motorola
I never thought the Sidekick on T-Mobile was a great phone at all. I mean, sure it has all these useful applications that allow you to connect to the internet and instant message people. But, it just always looked ugly to me. Now, Motorola is making me think again about the Sidekick with the Zante. It looks like it belongs in nightclubs just so you can get emails and phone numbers from people…just don’t spill your drinks on it.

The Motorola Q900 (Zante) features full multimedia playback support, JAVA, game controllers, Danger OS, EDGE connectivity (via T-Mobile), 128MB of internal flash RAM, MiniSD card slot for 2GB, 5.9 hours of talk time. The phone also supports MP3, WAV, MIMI, AAC, AAC+ and WMA formats. The 2.4″ QVGA display boats of 65K TFT screen. It has a 1.3 MP camera and large 5-row QWERTY keyboard. Bluetooth, Push Email, SMS, MMS and IM are the other specs.
