T-Mobile Sidekick 4G landing April 20th for $99.99

T-Mobile USA has confirmed with BGR that the Sidekick 4G will be available to customers on April 20th for $99.99 with a new two-year contract and after a $50 mail-in rebate. The Sidekick 4G — built by Samsung — runs Android 2.2 (Froyo) with a custom user interface that should appeal to Sidekick fans. It offers a throwback QWERTY keyboard with rounded keys and is powered 1GHz Cortex A8 Samsung Hummingbird processor — that’s more power than any Sidekick before it. As its name implies, it will also run on T-Mobile’s 4G HSPA+ network. We really enjoyed using the Sidekick 4G during our hands-on at CTIA 2011 early last month, and we think Sidekick fans should be excited to get their paws the device that promises to revive the brand.

        wow you are clueless…. Typically they post apple sh!t 24/7. I mean they even reposted a Aprils Fool Joke from a week ago.

    WTF, did they use MS Paint and JPEGS to create the 4G icon in the statusbar?

      …as opposed to Zach Epsteins posts, where he posts stuff up without even verifying.

      ….aka iPhone 5 from china…where it clearly had been marked as a April fools joke days earlier.

      Zach has an apple hard on, not BGR

    Dude it’s a Sidekick… Who cares? (besides deaf people)

    I don’t get why so many people hate on this sidekick. I’m mad there’s no flash and camera isn’t better but its not all bad. The keyboard is beast and beats the Droid 2 & Evo shift’s keyboard. Now that deserves some props!
