Zante coming to T-Mobile

Motorola’s Zante messaging phone will be given to Danger, and it comes with a slide-out display that exposes a keyboard not unlike that of the Sidekick, albeit in a sleeker package. Specifications aren’t exactly something to shout about, with EDGE Internet, a 1.3 megapixel camera, Bluetooth connectivity, AAC, MP3, and WMA file format support, and a miniSD memory card slot (up to 2GB). Battery life has been rated at half a dozen hours for non-stop voice calls – pretty impressive! Word has it that the Zante will be available from T-Mobile for $269 with a contract. You can expect to see the Zante hit stores as early as this summer or October at worst.
