The latest details surrounding the upcoming launch of the Sidekick 2009 are still falling in the rumor category, however they do seem to hold a little bit of truth. As for the launch, so far we have seen some good stuff coming through, but there still are a few key items missing. To begin with, the latest rumor is calling for the Sidekick 2009 to launch on April 1, 2009, which would be during CTIA.

As far as the truth to that date, like I mentioned it is just a rumor at this point, however there is a possibility. We have seen online reports that there are users in the wild that are already testing the device, we have even recently seen that leaked image proving it. That seems to fit with the time lime for an April 1 release, however, on the flip side, we still have not seen that required FCC listing just yet. This seems to be a little bit of good and bad for an April 1 release, but as always time will tell.

How does Palm know they’ve got a hit on their hands? When people try to start to tear you down. A Telstra telecom exec was quoted as saying a new HTC phone based on a custom blend of Android and Linux is “better and more functional” after seeing the new Palm phone last week at CES.

Palm, once again has announced the Treo Pro, of course it seems this time it was made official, as they have released a press release, promo video and also added the newly designed Treo to their website.

This release is actually pretty exciting for a Treo, not only does the Pro have a nice clean design and decent features it will also be sold unlocked for $549 here in the US. Palm has yet to announce a specific date of release, however they have stated it will hit the market in September. Aside from the US, the Treo Pro will also be available through Vodafone and O2 in Europe and through Telstra in Australia.

While we are seeing delays on the BlackBerry Bold being reported just about everywhere, Australian carrier Telstra has announced they will be offering it beginning in late-September. While that timeframe is still a little while away, and still no specific release date has been announced there is a little bit of good news coming along more »
