Nokia has got a patent for the mobile device resembling T-Mobile Sidekick. The new device differs in the opening mechanism: you have to revolve the device at 180 degrees, while with the standard Sidekick you just slide the display to reveal the QWERTY-keyboard. It’s unclear whether such design is more convenient or it’s just an attempt to go beyond the patents of Danger, the maker of the original Sidekick. Unfortunately there is no info when Nokia’s Sidekick-like device will come to stores.

[…] Se pare că cei de la Nokia vor să intre pe piaţa deschisă de iPhone şi Sidekick. Ideea lor este un telefon care arată iniţial ca iPhone-ul, are un slide cu tastatură qwerty plus încă o parte mobilă (presupun că ar fi camera). Deja au patentul asupra conceptului care se poate vedea într-o schiţă mai jos. De ce se înghesuie lumea pe bucata asta de piaţă ? Poate pentru că Apple are o strategie sinucigaşă în privinţa iPhone-ului. Sursa last-mobile.com […]

Um, the sidekicks swivel open. I do believe 360 is a full circle and seeing that 180 is half of 360 it will stop half way. The sk does that. There is only one sk that slides open and that’s the sidekick slide. All other sk swivel open.
Oh and can u say sk copy-cat. but then again who doesn’t want to have a sk or something that looks like it
