To help kick off the DigitalLife consumer technology event in New York, T-Mobile USA presented its new limited edition models of the T-Mobile Sidekick II. Partnering with two of today's hottest and most authentic names, T-Mobile unveiled the stylish pink T-Mobile Sidekick II Juicy Couture Edition, and the bold, black T-Mobile Sidekick II Mister Cartoon Edition.

Available in limited quantities online and at select T-Mobile retail outlets in New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and Miami beginning Oct. 24 - these two devices will continue to redefine the way people communicate. Whether it's instant messaging with your best friend from a concert, browsing the web for the latest sports news and scores, or simply chatting on the phone with your significant other, the T-Mobile Sidekick II is still the ultimate communication device - and now it's even more of an attention grabber.

"T-Mobile continues to be a leader in style and innovation within the wireless industry and the T-Mobile Sidekick II has been the leading device in these areas," said Michael Gallelli, director and head of product marketing for T-Mobile, USA. "That is why we are so excited to partner with Juicy Couture and Mister Cartoon, who are helping us continue the tradition of combining unique and intricately designed devices with T-Mobile's reliable, nationwide service."

To truly help make this device "your own," T-Mobile, in conjunction with Juicy Couture and Mister Cartoon, also is making available accessories for each device including:

- Carrying Cases: Black leather and blue denim for Mister Cartoon LE; Pink and brown velour and black, gold and silver leather for Juicy Couture LE

- Wristlets: Pink velour and black, pink, gold and silver leather for Juicy Couture LE

- Charms: Yorkie Terrier; Heart; Cherries; Horseshoe; Surfboard for Juicy Couture LE (special Juicy Couture Sidekick Charm coming in November)

Although it is the outward appearance of these limited editions that will quickly catch the eye, what's new inside is notable as well. A new enhanced browser to be available later this year will provide more features than ever before; now, users will be able to program their TiVo, manage their NetFlix rentals and RSVP to the hottest holiday parties via Evite.

All of these new features combined with the traditional Web browsing, email, text, IM and phone features, as well as the unique swivel-open QWERTY keyboard, have made the Sidekick the cool tool of choice for many of the most famous names in music, sports and entertainment.

The T-Mobile Sidekick II Mister Cartoon Edition and T-Mobile Sidekick II Juicy Couture Edition, both based on Danger, Inc.'s hiptop Wireless Solution; and the accompanying accessories, will be available the week of October 24 at select T-Mobile retail stores in New York City, Los Angeles, Chicago, San Francisco and Miami. Retail price for each is $399.99. Accessories range from $24.99 to $79.99.

What's with all the pink phones all of the sudden?

I think it's a slightly misguided effort to get young women into the phone as fashion thing. As we all know, young women aren't very technologically savvy, but if its pink, hey, they'll line up, right? icon_biggrin.gif
And before anyone flames me for that totally sarcastic statement, for the record, I am a woman in my twenties with a degree in audio engineering, who mods her fiancee's phone for him! So yes, that was in fact sarcasm! icon_razz.gif And yes, I am a geek!
But I do think it's a kind of silly attempt to market to girls and young women, or maybe slightly feminine men, who knows?

"Slightly feminine"? no offense but you've gotta be "Flaming Feminine" for a guy to have a pink cell phone. icon_smile.gif

Well, they do want everyone involved in the market business, they should come out with different housing for the sidekick 2 just incase one is tired of looking at the their current housing. icon_razz.gif

I'm a 22yo female and I, personally, would prefer Mister Cartoon over Juicy Couture. I've never been into pink, really...but I guess it's fine for other people. not that there's anything wrong with that...

I'm a Verizon user at the moment, but I will be switching to T-Mobile in the future.

well i got the sidekick II (also known as the hiptop2, which i'm currently using) and yea the plain housing looks like poop. looks like an old hand held atari, but none the less i'm looking for some firmware for it so it' captures video, and yea even though it's on fido right now with me, i want it on rogers, so does any one know of any unlocking services. cuz i highly doubt that rogers will know what to do. Oh and please PM me if you know
