T-Mobile Updates Popular Sidekick

T-Mobile USA is updating its Sidekick cell phones, adding a high-end model and the first Motorola-built entry in the line of quirky gadgets with a screen that swivels to reveal a keyboard.

The new luxury model, the Sidekick LX, has a screen with more than twice the resolution of the previous top-of-the-line model, the Sidekick 3. Criticism of the low screen resolution has dogged the line, which still has found a home among young people who like to communicate by text message.

The LX will go on sale online Oct. 17 for $300 with a 2-year contract, T-Mobile USA said Wednesday. The cheapest current Sidekick, the iD, costs $50.

U.S. Startups Set Sights On India

WSJ Online reports that, an increasing number of high-tech start-ups are basing their operations in the U.S. but setting their sights on Indian customers.

Wireless-broadband company WiChorus Inc. was founded two years ago and is based in the heart of California's Silicon Valley. But as Rebecca Buckman reports, when it actually starts selling its broadband gear to phone companies next year, it will target the Indian market.

"Silicon Valley is the only place you could do this," says WiChorus founder Rehan Jalil, an engineer who was born in Pakistan but educated in the U.S. He started WiChorus in late 2005 after leaving another wireless start-up, Aperto Networks, because he says he wanted to create lower-cost broadband technology for the developing world.

The Scoop On Cellphones

The Atlanta Journal Constitution's Soyia Ellison says there's so many flavors of cellphones available for the mobile connoisseur, that Baskin Robbin's should be ashamed for only offering up 31 flavors.

Want a phone to call home from the grocery store and ask your wife if you're out of milk? You got it.

Want one that'll capture video of that amazing back flip your cat does off the kitchen table when she thinks no one is looking? You got it.

Want a cellphone that will let you sync your home and work e-mail — and view it all on one tiny screen? You can have that, too.

Check out Soyia Ellison's AJC article HERE to see which phone she says is like
