The rest of the documents including pictures and user manual for the Sidekick 3 (the official name used in the manuals) were released by the FCC today. The manual is not complete but does reveal some new features. There is consistent mention of a "trackball" where the scroll wheel used to be. Additional physical changes include what appears to be a plastic keyboard instead of a rubber coated one, and a removable battery. The camera is confirmed to be 1.3 Megapixel unit and pictures can be stored either internally or on a Mini SD storage card. The storage card can also be used to hold music, as the Sidekick 3 now includes a music player. Few details were revealed about the included Bluetooth other than it can be used to send and receive vCards.

Do u guys think this is real?
This link shows a whole line of Sidekicks including SDK4 which is called Sidekick NG. It is talking about a new sidekick which includes music, video, and razr. I think this is fake and can be made by anyone with a computer and the right programs and tools. Stuff like this should be kept top secret. Nowhere on the document does it reconize the company Danger which is the manufactures of Sidekick phones. I want to get some feedback from some of the phonescoop members. Thanks.
The Razr brand and likeness of it is licensed to motorola, so no "razr" sidekick will be out, ever, unless motorola starts manufacturing sidekicks.
Also, Danger does not manufacture the sideki...

Rich / Eric - Any word on the screen resolution?
Encouraging
I feel a little iffy about the hard plastic keys. I loved the rubbery ones.
Better news for me is EDGE support. I can't wait for somebody with one of these in their hands to compare web browsing speed.
I wonder what class of EDGE? That will make a difference as it competes with the EVDO smartphones.
