T-Mobile Sidekick 4G: Review

Two years ago, the first T-Mobile Sidekick was launched and now T-Mobile Sidekick 4G is here. The first Sidekick was designed by Danger and was manufactured by Sharp and it was a pure messaging phone.

 Now, the new T-Mobile Sidekick 4G smartphone has been introduced by Samsung and in terms of looks you will be tempted to say “Yes”. The New T-Mobile Sidekick 4G is a pure QWERTY handset running on an Android 2.2 and has a soft-touch plastic frame with a dark brushed trim.

Features Of T-Mobile Sidekick 4G:

The Sidekick 4G has a fantastic LCD display with a 3.5-inch screen. Though it’s hard to find out that why Samsung didn’t include their fancy AMOLED display in it. When you hold the

Sidekick whether in right hand or left, it is comfortable to grip in portrait mode. On the bottom or left side it has a nice volume rocker, a 3.5mm headphone jack at the very top and the power button at the bottom of the Sidekick.

There is a rotating flap at the top of it which also has a microUSB port and a two-stage camera shutter button. On the font, an optical trackpad is present but it isn’t really sensitive enough to scroll the webpage. Trackball might have been a good option instead of trackpad here. The Sidekick 4G has 3 megapixel camera which can take really nice pictures with a lots of detail, an excellent color balance with an accuracy.
