Sporting a Sidekick-like style, UTStarcom's Knick has mysteriously surfaced at a Radio Shack kiosk (presumably at a conference). According to the specification placard, it offers a QWERTY keyboard, video camera, mobileTV, and GPS, among other basic phone functions. The first information on this one came in the end of May from a consumer survey. It reveals that the new phone has touch sensitive display, 1.3MP camera, and will be available in at least three colors: gray, orange or green. An accessory website is selling belt clips for the handset, which leads us to believe that an official announcement is just around the corner.

I am really impressed by this phone so far. I love the sidekick line, but was never a t-mobile fan. I've been with AT&T and I don't plan on leaving, so this is a dream come true. I will be getting this when it comes out!!!

I actually kind of like it. I really like the sidekick form factor and style and its nice to see it on a different network.

It would be great if the screen tilted, just like the tilt.

I have to say I'm not a AT&T fan at all but this is a really nice looking phone. If it operates half as good as it looks it will be a real kick ass handset. Ya I do realize who makes it but still it might not be all that bad.

not to be rude, but last time I checked, a "texting phone" usually has a QWERTY keyboard. The VU is a touchscreen and while it may have a virtual QWERTY, it's usually not considered a good phone for messaging because it doesn't have tactile buttons. That is why the above commenter compared it to the enV2, not the Dare.

You can carrier a UTS Knick and a Samsung Knack. Where is the Spick and Span?
