Sidekick users have yet another reason to rejoice this morning and T-mobile continues to open up the catalogue of goodies. Introducing Facebook and Twitter to Sidekick (2008), Sidekick LX (Tony Hawk included) and to the Sidekick slide. Interestingly enough the Facebook application is free while Twitter will charge a recurring $1.99 monthly fee. Not sure, what that is about as the Sidekick catalogue appears to be the only Twitter application looking for monthly charges rather than a onetime download charge. Regardless, you can pick up the applications today!
Side note: Facebook and Twitter continue to be available at no charge for Sidekick LX (2009) users. Guess older Sidekick fans are getting the short of the end stick this time around.
T-mobile has launched the latest iteration of its famed Sidekick line and thankfully to much fanfare. Reviews on this phone has been mostly positive giving the Sidekick line the resurgence it needed to resurrect itself from the shadow of the G1 and Blackberry world. Coming in Carbon and and Orchid color schemes, we’ve had the pleasure of unboxing photos so you should know what to expect. Coming in at $249.99 after a $50 dollar discount, life sentence 2 year contract and first born, you can head over to the T-mobile website to get that sucker in the mail!
While the expected launch date for the Sidekick LX was May 13th, it looks as if a few lucky individuals are receiving their shipments almost a full 2 weeks early. Anyone complaining about that? Didn’t think so! Courtesy of a fine gentlemen over at Hiptop3 we get a whole bunch of in the wild unboxing pics which do significantly more justice for the device than that other unboxing video! Hit the link below for a WHOLE lot of in the wild unboxing shots! There is enough here to keep those of you still waiting for your pre-order fantasizing all the way to the 13th of May.
Courtesy of the boys at Engadgetmobile who attended last nights Sidekick announcement, we get a pretty in depth hands on with plenty of glimpses at the exciting features of this T-mobile staple device!
There really isn’t much else I can say about this video but apparently, according to the Engadget guys and the linked youtube page its perfectly legit. That makes it just the creepiest unboxing video I have ever seen. Well, T-mobile, I really have no idea what you were thinking with this one.
Reports are coming in strong and steady that April 21st is definitely going to be a Sidekick launch party. All that hope for the next Android device needs to get swept aside for the moment and focus on the Sidekick line, still a T-mobile staple. While our invitation to this event most certainly seems to have gotten lost in the mail, we’re not even sure we’d really care to go anymore. As much as we appreciate the Sidekick line, Android is really the only thing we are anticipating eagerly these days. So we will continue our dutiful watch for the next Android news and of course, keep you guys up to date!
