T-Mobile Sidekick 4G Review

The original Sidekick was one of the first mobile phones to become a gadget icon. That said, it was really the Sidekick 2 and 3 that took off, and before you knew it, all the cool “kids” had one. We’re talking about the likes of Lindsey Lohan and Paris Hilton, back in the day when they were still cool. I myself was a Sidekick user and owned the Sidekick 1, Sidekick 2, and Sidekick 3. I loved the Sidekick because it allowed me to constantly keep in touch with my friends via instant messages and texts without the need for any complicated software. It was the first “smartphone” made for the masses with tons of teen appeal, and it was super simple to operate, except that it wasn’t truly a smartphone. On the other hand, T-Mobile’s Sidekick 4G is a new beast altogether. It might sport a similar form-factor to the original Sidekicks, but under the hood you have got a 1Ghz processor, a 3.5″, a 3MP camera, and Android 2.2 (Froyo).

The latest sidekick measures 5 x 2.4 x 0.6 inches and weighs 5.7 ounces. With a dedicated flip out screen and hardware QWERTY keyboard, the Sidekick 4G definitely shows off the heritage of it’s ancestors. This time around the Sidekick’s hardware feels more solid than ever. And its flip out screen looks like it wont have any issues, unlike the issues that some previous Sidekicks had with their displays. Apply some pressure to the bottom of the Sidekick 4G’s display and it will  pop out and rest at a low angle. This low angle is more comfortable on the eyes than the straight angle that devices with similar form-factors sport, such as the T-Mobile G2. The device also has a optical pad for navigating around the user interface. This is something that more and more Android devices are leaving out. It’s a nice touch to have, although by all means not a necessity. Then there are the buttons – located on the left of the display are the home and Jump buttons, while on the right are the Menu and Back Buttons. On the side of the device you’ll also find a dedicate camera button, volume control buttons an the Power button. Overall there are a lot of buttons all over the place, so it gets a bit of getting used to getting accustomed to them.

The 3.5″ display on the Sidekick 4G sports a 800×480 resolution resolution. The display is bright, and sharp with good color reproduction. It is a very good display, and definitely one of the better displays out there, just not top of its class.
