The companies said Wednesday that Microcell will offer Danger's hiptop device under its Fido brand for use on its GSM/GPRS network. The device is expected to be available in the fall.

Microcell will be the first carrier in Canada to offer the Danger device, which combines a mobile phone with a Web browser, e-mail, instant messaging, a personal information manager, games and optional camera attachment. T-Mobile first introduced the device under the name Sidekick last year. In May, Triton PCS, an AT&T Wireless affiliate, started selling it with the SunCom brand.

Last month, T-Mobile launched Danger's first color version of the hiptop. Microcell said it would also offer the color device.
