So, first the bad news: T-Mobile and Motorola have confirmed that “some” Sidekick Slides are turning themselves off when the display is opened or closed. Now, the good: they’re doing something about it. Slide sales have been suspended as of this evening while Moto works to identify just what the heck’s going on; meanwhile, existing owners who’ve experienced problems can call T-Mobile or head into a store to “discuss available options.” For what it’s worth, neither of T-Mobile’s other Sidekicks in the current lineup — the LX and the iD — are affected, so Sharp might see a nice little sales spike here as Slide owners look for an alternative. Follow the break for T-Mobile’s full statement.

It may not be much to look at, but PC Microworks’ new 17-inch Black-Hawk XR5 laptop certainly looks like it has the specs to get the job done, including room for three SATA 300 hard drives and a pair of NVIDIA’s new Geforce Go 8800GTX graphics units in SLI mode. Otherwise, you can expect a range of configurable options, including your choice of Core 2 Duo or Core 2 Quad processors, up to 4GB of 800 MHz DDR2 memory, and an optional Blu-ray burner, to name a few. Look for this one to start shipping sometime next month, with PC MicroWork’s default system setting you back $2,779 (although some of those aforementioned options will cost you considerably more than that).
