T-Mobile Sidekick 4G with Samsung Apps
Sidekick 4G is sidekick-slider smartphone from T-Mobile itself. T-Mobile has been known in mobile phone market as a data carrier and not a mobile phone manufacturer, it is interesting as well shocking that T-Mobile has decided to get into the market with an Android mobile phone itself.

This new version of T-Mobile Sidekick 4G has been sourced by Samsung which means most parts of the software and hardware improvements are a result of Samsung.
T-Mobile has previously launched this mobile phone which was unfortunately not a very big success but they know now that Android is the big thing… so they have decided to try to sell as many phones they can with that Android OS.
T-Mobile suggests that this swivel-action i.e. sidekick would be quite unique in market but i won’t buy that idea because many mobile phones like Nokia N97 etc. have already demonstrated this design where touchscreen slides out to give way to the full QWERTY keyboard.
T-Mobile Sidekick 4G might be new for the company but not for the consumers… that’s my view.
