We had this entry pending the official release of the T-Mobile SideKick 3 by Danger, manufactured by Sharp, and time flew by rendering this announcement a few days old (oops!). The SideKick had been made available to existing / current T-Mobile users for the past two weeks or so and finally it was released to the general public this Monday July 10, 2006 with much fanfare and celebrity ruckus. Does Paris Hilton continue the tradition of using the Sidekick despite her much publicized hacking of her account resulting in a lot of Hollywood's "who's who's" personal details being spread like wildfire across the 'net? Short answer - yes. Well, we had spotted her using a RAZR too (pink of course), but that's for another story.
