T-Mobile Sidekick Slide Software and Features

Software and Features

Messaging was at the core of the Sidekick Slide’s software environment, providing options like SMS, EMS, MMS, Email, and Instant Messaging. The inclusion of a WAP 2.0/xHTML browser indicates a rudimentary capability to browse the internet, a feature still in its infancy in mobile devices of that era. Unique features such as integrated games and an MP3 player added a slice of entertainment, although the absence of Java meant limitations on expanding software capabilities with additional apps.
