SideKick 4G - Overview

Sidekick 4G by TMobile
Sidekick is back again after being dormant for a few years. They're attempting to attack the smartphone market with their new Sidekick 4G. Many people are thinking this kind of release is something that can help save T-Mobile. For those of you who didn't hear, T-Mobile lost around 471000 subscribers last quarter and a big time release might just be exactly what they need.
Being an old Sidekick LX user, I was pretty hyped when I heard there were plans to rebirth the famous phone series. And after some review, I believe it definitely lives up to its forefather's standards.
Basic Specifications:

  • Display: 3.5" TFT Display, Touch Screen
  • Connectivity: Available 4G service via T-Mobile
  • Sound Quality: Average
  • Features: Full QWERTY keyboard, Removal of the trac-ball, Android 2.2 Operating System, Android Market, 1 GHZ processor, GPS, T-Mobile TV, customizable appearance
  • Camera: 3 Megapixel front and back facing Cameras (No Flash), Video Recording
The Sidekick 4G isn't the best smart phone out there. It doesn't have the fastest processor, best camera, best display resolution, or battery life. This phone is basic. But it does its job well. It's great for social butterflies. The messaging capabilities on this phone are ideal for the chronic texter (who isn't nowadays). It's also a solid phone for someone whose new to smart phone technology.

    This is a nice throwback overview of the SideKick 4G, and the full QWERTY keyboard plus Android 2.2 really shows how much the smartphone world has changed since 2011. It is interesting that a messaging-focused phone like this still had access to the Android Market, which opened the door to all kinds of casual games. For anyone who still enjoys that kind of light, playful mobile gaming today, this Kick the Buddy APK download guide is worth a look. It covers a fun stress-relief game that fits the same pick-up-and-play spirit this phone was built for.
