Carrier 86's the Android flavored T-Mobile Sidekick 4G
Share:
When the Sidekick re-emerged as an Android powered smartphone, priced to sell at $99.99 on contract, the whole smartphone platform had changed which allowed for HSPA+ connectivity and the 4G suffix on its name. But even less than a year after its launch, the T-Mobile Sidekick 4G had become something of a dinosaur with a single-core 1GHz processor driving the device, Android 2.2 installed and a 3MP camera on back that captures video at a DVD quality 480p. There is a VGA front-facing shooter.
While the specs really don't allow the T-Mobile Sidekick 4G to stand up the current slate of dual and quad-core powered models with 4.3 inch and larger Super AMOLED Plus screens, Google said that the T-Mobile Sidekick 4G was one of the most searched for consumer electronics products for 2011. And now, with a quick look at a T-Mobile screenshot, the device is gone.
With obviously a well known brand name, it certainly would behoove T-Mobile to update and refresh the Sidekick 4G. While the Sidekick 4G is gone, the Sidekick name can still live on for its fans. The nation's fourth largest carrier brought the device back once, so why not try it again?

My mom has a sidekick and she loves it. She doesnt need the newest version of android or the fastest processor so its a good phone for her. She wishes the camera was much, much better though...

Where they went wrong: 3mp camera.... In 2011? What's the purpose, too much going on with the ui, battery life. We called it a phone got the teens then the tweens now we don't recommend it to anyone

Lolzzzz! Never should have even existed in the first place. Watch, tmo will get some cheap shiity replacement for it. And you wonder why they cant compete with other carriers. Doesn't matter, dropping them next month for galaxy note and Nokia lumia 900.

Bothers me why some people give personal opinions when none was required. No sense of objectivity whatsoever. Keep your crappy decisions where they belong, with you.
