Sidekick 3

The Sidekick 3 Blog has the first official Sidekick 3 marketing shot posted on the site.

This is the highest resolution picture yet of the Sidekick 3 or SK3 or Sidekick III or whatever you want to call it. Look closely, the picture shows the little details of the four navigation buttons on all corners of the Sidekick 3. It also shows the USB port and gives a better look at the finish and the keyboard. It’s getting close people.

It sure looks sweet. If the rumors are true, hold off getting a new phone for at least a few months longer.
