–> All the European not just German…

Here’s my own, more accurate translation:

“T-Mobile cancels Sidekick-Service to December 31th
The reason therefore is the termination of the service through the American manufacturer Danger (a.k.a. Microsoft – just my guess xD)

T-Mobile currently/presently cancels remaining Sidekick users the Sidekick service as well as the Sidekick-Date-Option to December 31th this year. This confirmed a spokesman of the company over teltarif.de. Reason for the cancelation of the options is the discontinuation of the Sidekick-Service through the American manufacturer Danger.
The smartphone of the Californian company originally emerged under the name “Hiptop” and was merchandised at first exclusively by E-Plus (a German(?) phone-service company like AT&T & T-Mobile) in Germany. Afterwards/later T-Mobile also introduced these devices into the German market. However, the (Deutsche) Telekom “cellular phone network-daughter” (–> T-Mobile) named the smartphones – as well as in the U.S.A. (–> T-Mobile USA) – Sidekick.

Option cancelation, but not contract cancelation

As the T-Mobile-Press Office notifies, Danger knocks off/discontinues the service for whole Europe to December 31st, so that each user of the device – no matter under what name – is affected (by/from this action). In the U.S., however, Danger contiues to offer his service, as there are more recent Sidekick devices sold and those enjoy great popularity. (or better saying, didn’t T-Mobile USA force / threaten them to continue? Microsoft is trying to destroy/remove the sidekick from the whole market anywhere?)
The cancelation had affected serveral thousand T-Mobile-customers, spokesman Dirk Wende.

Indeed, the affected customers will be canceled the rate options, but not the whole contract. Thus one says in the writing: “Your T-Mobile contract remains untouched from this and further continues.” However, Wende (the spokesman) emphases, that if the customer turns to the T-Mobile hotline, one will find a “solution with the customer together”. Here, one will also present offers to change to current/latest devices (like the iPhone 3GS, exclusively by T-Mobile) and rates to the customers. Though, if the customer wants to (just/strict) part-out the contract, there will also be a possibility, because every caller/hotliner has a “certain scope of action”, according to the T-Mobil press agent.”

–> I hope that helps to understand it more & better

And I hope this happens to the U.S. aswell, why? because the sidekick sucks and its OS outdated, now make a new sidekick with android or webOS now we’re talking!

Btw, Palm Pre is now the new king of multitasking!
