T-Mobile allows Sidekick Slide trade-ins

All you Paris Hilton wannabees out there probably flipped your lids when you found out that T-Mobile was pulling the Motorola-manufactured Sidekick Slide from both its online and brick and mortar stores. Fear not, Sidekickers: T-Mobile has announced that it will replace the faulty Slides with either a Sidekick LX or a Sidekick Slide's worth of store credit, good toward another handset. T-Mo announced that "Motorola also has identified and tested a solution [for the defect] which it will implement for existing devices, and incorporate into newly manufactured ones." That means that if you're really attached to your slide, you can simply hang tight and wait for a fix. All in all, this looks like good news for anyone who aspires to inadvertently release compromising photos of themselves onto the Internet via a mobile device.
