We've seen fancy renders and confirmation that it won't be the Sidekick 4, but by and large, we haven't really seen the Motorola Zante for real. We had that one live shot, but it left a lot to be desired. Well, after waiting around for about a month, we've finally found some live pictures of the Motorola Zante, including what the Sidekick-like device looks like from the back.

As you recall, the actual specs and features on the Zante -- sometimes referred to as the T-Mobile Sidekick Slide -- aren't exactly impressive, being about on par with the current Sidekick 3. You get an EDGE connection, 1.3 megapixel camera, a 2.4-inch screen, the Danger OS, and a full QWERTY keyboard. The backside doesn't look terribly exciting, but at least we get some new perspective. Now, someone just needs to snag a profile shot so that we can know how chubby it's going to be.

It looks like it will be nice on the hand. Maybe T-mobile releasing it to hold us over till a 3G version comes out.

I would think that they would put 3G in there, so people can use 3G when it comes out.

I am surprised that the Sk4 doesn't have 3G. Oh, well looks like yall will have to wait til the Sk5 for 3G.

Sharp's Sidekick "Shuriken" hooks up with FCC - Engadget Mobile (http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2007/08/05/sharps-sidekick-shuriken-hooks-up-with-fcc/)

We're still not sure whether this is the legit Sidekick 4 -- you know, the true successor to the Sidekick 3, as opposed to some tangential compromise like the Sidekick iD -- but we're definitely encouraged by Sharp's internal designation for this sucker. It's been assigned the model number "PV250" to be exact, which would put it above the Sidekick 3's PV200 (and well above the iD's PV150), suggesting that the Shuriken is likely the next-gen Sidekick we should all be getting excited about, not the Slide from Motorola. Then again, it seems like there isn't much new here; it should get a healthy 3-inch widescreen display, which is nice and all, but 3G data is still nowhere to be found. Guess you need a functioning 3G network to offer 3G devices, eh, T-Mobile?
