Unfortunately us Sidekick Slide/Aussies are yet to here any information on whether the device will be getting the new features like video, bluetooth sending/receiving, video recording and a few OS changes that have been bundled in a OTA package for Sidekick LX  users that’s being rolled up nationally now! These features defiantly should be included with the factory model for a phone which its standards hopefully we will get some confirmation soon on whether or not to expect one. (For all the features that were included in the Sidekick LX OTA update click more below!

Email we got from Danger

“We are always working to improve the applications and services for our customers, and this effort requires careful research, development, and testing time. When the next software release has met all release criteria, you will receive the update “over-the-air”. (With over-the-air updates, a notification appears on your device that asks if you would like to activate the update now, or later. Choosing Activate Now will reboot the device to complete the update installation.)

At this time,  we do not have any information for Telstra users in regards to any updates. When more information is known I’ll be sure to contact you.

+ The rumored Sidekick Gekko/Aspen that is  being speculated for release soon, could it possibly be released by Telstra in the near future?

The all new Telstra Hiptop Slide the latest from the hiptop line apart from the ‘Sidekick LX’ which has been officially confirmed that it will not be coming to Australia unfortunately as it seems like the ultimate upgrade from the HipTop3 with the larger screen and the latest features upgrade from the OTA that’s now getting officially rolled out through the US. The Hiptop Slide is probably the most drastic upgrade for the Hiptop line as it features the all new slider screen contrary to the swivel screen seen on previous devices. Its also the first device manufactured by Motorola as all the past devices and the Sidekick LX were manufactured by Sharp Inc despite the manufacturer all the devices still share the same OS – Danger 4.0 which may change in the near future as the rights for danger have been purchased by Microsoft.
