![]() The Sidekick LX will be available for $299 with a 2-year contract on October 17th and will be widely available on October 24th. The memory slot is now microSD instead of miniSD. Although the features and the display are greater, the battery time is improved to 6.8 hours of talk time, instead of 4.5 for the Sidekick 3. The LX will also be usable with the MySpace application and as one can expect from a Sidekick comes with IM, email and now enhanced Web browser with improved JavaScript support. The biggest improvement is the screen, a 3” unit with WQGA resolution of 400x240 pixels, which is 2.5 times more than the one of the predecessor. The Sidekick LX is very similar to the Sidekick 3 by its look, but will come in two color variants, including “midnight blue” and “espresso brown” and feature customizable light settings, called “Mood lights”, which alert for various things, including messages, IM, email and phone. The two new Sidekicks are the LX which can be considered as the successor of the Sidekick 3, again manufactured by Sharp and the Slide, which is by Motorola and the first Sidekick without the uniquely swiveling display. It is a rather strange decision from the carrier, especially considering that the rumor information and even live pictures leaked a few months ago, but it is probably in order to attract even more attention. This April Fool's day joke was cute for T-Mobile, though it has us wishing there really was a T-Mobile Sidekick reboot after the Samsung-made and Android-powered Sidekick 4G from 2011.Today T-Mobile announced two new variants of the Sidekick design, which unfortunately will be available after more than a month. ![]() It can’t do any of the smart features, though, as they’re regular ol’ sneaks.

You can actually purchase the T-Mobile Sidekicks (which are magenta hi-top Converse-lookalikes with the words “T-Mobile Sidekicks” on them) for $65 before April 15. There’s even a “Hey Sidekicks” voice assistant, which features the soothing voice of T-Mobile’s own CEO, John Legere.Īmong some other features, the Smartshoephone is entirely fictional as this is T-Mobile’s April Fool’s day joke. The T-Mobile sidekicks also have a display that takes up the entire bottom of the sole of one shoe while the other features “Sole speakers” and retractable Smart Laces that double as earbuds. The kicks will also light up when you receive an incoming call and the lights will flash like the Sidekick 3’s scroll ball did. Share your contact information quickly by tapping toes with another Sidekicks owner. ![]() T-Mobile’s Smartshoephone features a flip-out screen like the Sidekick, only it pops out of the side of the sole. Seeing really is believing with the new T-Mobile Sidekick. As fun as they are functional, T-Mobile Sidekicks are fully tricked out for speed on the fastest LTE network ever and optimized for unlimited data with T-Mobile ONE, of course.

It was an iconic smartphone that had several celebrity endorsements, a screen that flipped out in a really cool 180-degree motion, and its operating system would eventually evolve into what we know today as Android. The T-Mobile Sidekick is getting reincarnated in the carrier’s latest announcement. ![]()
