T-Mobile today launched the Sidekick Shells, the newest Sidekick with the opportunity to create shells for their Sidekick with the images, colors or designs they choose.
The new Sidekick will ship with two shells: Black and Metallic Green. Pre-designed shell patterns and colors also are readily available for consumers to purchase at T-Mobile retail stores or online. But for true individualization, customers can design a unique shell through www.sidekickshells.com .
Users upload a personal photo or graphic design, or select their own text, shapes, icons or logos. The final design is custom-printed onto the shell, then shipped. Once the design is complete, customers can share their work of art in a public gallery that will be hosted on www.sidekick.com .
"The new T-Mobile Sidekick, with its customizable shells, lets our customers easily express that unique style directly on their phone," says Sajal Sahay, Director of T-Mobile USA. "Providing our customers with options to stand out from the crowd and show a true expression of themselves is what makes this Sidekick such an intriguing, fun device."
In addition to personalization, the T-Mobile Sidekick Shells is slightly smaller, thinner and lighter than previous Sidekicks. It comes with Sidekick features such as video capture and playback.
The Sidekick Shells also has an integrated Spanish user interface - the first for a Sidekick device.
Other features include messaging with IM, text and email, stereo Bluetooth for photo and file transfers and a 2.0-megapixel camera. The Sidekick Shells is equipped with customizable web surfing and more internal memory for storage.
