Sidekick Gone from T-Mobile.com
Looks like T-Mobile is no longer selling the Sidekick on their site. The Sidekick LX 2009 was the last device on there and now there’s no sign of it. If you need one, looks like there’s only one place to go.
UPDATE: As many have pointed out, the Sidekick LX 2009 Carbon is back up on T-Mobile for $99. Was the disappearance just another mistake? Stop toying with our emotions T-Mobile!

If the sidekick twist is running Android, then it’s a sidekick in name only. Just another android device. Some people may be fine with that, though there are already plenty of android phones with keyboards out there already. In any case, it’s not a real sidekick (danger OS based). Just sayin’…
May 16th, 2010 at 11:22 am
HAHAHA Lets see all the shit talking everyone was talking about before about the Sk being dead…NOPE! let see everyone run back now and wish they never waited and switched over..i laugh at ya…SK Twist ETA Summer 2010!!
May 16th, 2010 at 11:40 am
Well basically its not gonna be da same if it looks anything like da G1. Quite frankly, the Lx 2009 is one of da most beautiful phones I’ve seen ever. If they slapped a touch screen on that phone, upped the size to like 3.7 inches, nd used the signature swive screen on it while adding android, that pretty much would have me sold.
May 16th, 2010 at 11:43 am
I meant upped da screen size. But if its as big as da HD2, that’s murder. As beautiful as it may be, no sidekick needs a screen that big.
May 16th, 2010 at 11:59 am
it seems they finally decided to make the Sidekick there flagship device?? and move it up from the mid tier level it was once on and gave that section to the mytouch…i could only imagine a 4.3 incher flipping in motion!
May 16th, 2010 at 12:05 pm
I know rite. Just imagine a screen that gynormous in flipping action! Its like God intended this phone for us T Mobile users.
May 16th, 2010 at 12:49 pm
more than anything im happy they didn’t forget about us! i was seriously considering getting the mytouch slide as an upgrade to my lx09 but i was planning on waiting ti’ll summer anyway..and BOOM the news i just been looking for!
May 16th, 2010 at 7:06 pm

@magnus: The more I think about it, T-Mobile just owns the name “Sidekick” so they can slap it on any device, the Sidekick is originally called a “Hiptop” it’s T-Mobile who changed the name from “Hiptop” to “Sidekick” it only makes sense since Danger is bought by Microsoft, not Google.
May 16th, 2010 at 7:32 pm
@
alessandra
yes, I know, T mobile own Sidekick a.k.a Hiptop and Microsoft bought Danger Inc.
so, I know there will be coming out new Sidekick Twist!
May 16th, 2010 at 7:34 pm
@magnus: Except Microsoft doesn’t make the Android OS, Google does, Microsoft just makes the Windows Mobile OS for certain phones like the HTC Touch Pro 2, the HTC HD2 etc.
May 16th, 2010 at 7:38 pm
WTF I posted this thing about the sidekick first like 2 das ago and everybody is now findn out about it and everybody is like omg nd wen I posted it …nothin
May 16th, 2010 at 8:30 pm
@
alessandra
yes, I know Google own Android and Microsoft buyout Danger OS and change they work for M$ Windows Mobile, and Danger OS is dead.. not Sidekick
and then T mobile want Android from Google for new Sidekick Twist…
why you tell me about Microsoft own Windows Mobile? did I something say wrong? then I m sorry my english, sir/ma’am..
May 16th, 2010 at 8:32 pm
@magus: I’m just informing you, no worries. 🙂 Also, I’m a female. 🙂
May 16th, 2010 at 8:56 pm
@
alessandra
if you work for this forum or t mobile, why not you tell something about Sidekick Twist? is that true that will coming out? ma’am 🙂
May 16th, 2010 at 9:04 pm
@magnus: I don’t work for neither one of these companies, I just read whatever comes out about this but as I’ve said before, I read alot of things very carefully.
May 16th, 2010 at 11:40 pm
@
Alessandra
if that true Sidekick Twist 4.3 inches.. does it look like QWERTY keyboard get bigger? like 1 keystroke size like “m&m” button? lol
May 16th, 2010 at 11:42 pm
@magnus: I don’t know what it will have there are no pictures of this device. All this that we are reading is just speculation.

Well I just want to know what the concept model will look like. If u haven’t realised yet, Sidekicks are designed by Sharp Corp. If Sharp isn’t designing the phone, nd Danger isn’t doing the OS, I doubt if it will have the swivel screen OR the 4 Danger logos we’ve come to love=( Damn, technically it won’t be a sidekick then=(
May 17th, 2010 at 8:16 am
yea just because it won’t have certain things that danger made won’t mean it won’t be a good phone…think of it as a fresh start…you can’t lie danger didn’t do a good job with the phone from probably the 3 on forward..it was more just rehashs of the same phone with MINOR upgrades..here we are POSSIBLY getting a MAJOR upgrade and tmobile bringing the sidekick brand to the high end arena..this is BIG news! so just because it won’t have some things danger designed and sharp made isn’t a bad thing..because to my knowledge HTC is making beautiful devices and on top of the sense UI i think we shouldn’t worry..hopefully things are true and we can get some concepts soon enough!!IM GOING CRAZY!
May 17th, 2010 at 7:31 pm
This site is gay now they not even postin the rumors about the all powerful sidekck twist they haven’t posted shit I used to come here for everything on the sdekick now I have to go somewhere elses I bett all of you gave up on the sidekick and have been usin a androd phone undercover this new sidekick is gna b beasts and it’s Guna b runnin the socalled bes operating system out right now I can’t fucknnnnn waittttttt I hope these fuckin rummors are true and it comes out in 3 months cuz I will b eligible for upgrade 🙂
May 17th, 2010 at 7:33 pm
Fuck youuuu!!!!!!
May 17th, 2010 at 7:50 pm
@magnus: Those are pictures of the Sidekick Slide and the Sidekick LX’07 which were both released in 2007.
May 17th, 2010 at 7:59 pm

@

why foul language here?.. cuz there is no point to discuss here, come on grow up….. probably jealous new sk twist? then I m sorry 🙁
May 18th, 2010 at 6:07 pm
I hope in a couple of months they post pics of the sidekick twist.doesn’t anyone think its a dumb name to call a sidekick.
May 18th, 2010 at 6:10 pm
@Haze: I do agree that it is dumb to call it that since Sidekicks are basically named with their numbers or if your with the LuXury version then it has 2 extra letters like the LX’07 and LX’09.
May 19th, 2010 at 2:10 pm
Is it true that the sidekick twist is coming out in the summer.
May 19th, 2010 at 2:12 pm
@Haze: No one knows for sure, the only one who may know for sure is probably the carrier.
May 19th, 2010 at 2:18 pm
My biggest concern is wether HTC will still do the swivel screen. If you didn’t know, sharp didn’t manufacter the first sidekick model. A company called Flextronics made it. So since the swivel design isn’t patented to a brand, im guessing HTC could make it too. Add a HD touch screen nd hidden keyboard, like a true sidekick, and it will have me sold. Only as long as it stays true to the Sidekick line because if it looks anything like the mytouch slide, I won’t buy it. All I ask of HTC is that if they do make the phone, make it look somewhat like a sidekick while keeping the elegance of all other HTC models….just not the G1. I hated that design. Anybody else agree?
May 20th, 2010 at 3:57 am
Anybody have any ideas as to what this thing mite look like?

Deafies use all the sidekick and they cant live without it… We did try with blackberry and we all hate it so we go back to sidekick and we are more happier with it…. Please dont shut down with sidekick at all!!! we are very worrry about it!!!
June 8th, 2010 at 10:51 pm
@Rhonda: Not ALL deafies use Sidekicks, I have 5 friends who are all deaf use a Blackberry. I know one that uses an Android device. But yes I will agree that the Blackberry sucks only for it’s size, it’s too small and too crammed, it should be spacious to allow texting to be easier when you hold it, I couldn’t stand typing on the blackberry since it’s too small! I love the Sidekick as well but many of us have to move on to a different device if the new Sidekick won’t be supported by Danger anymore, let’s just wait and see what’s on the horizon. 🙂 By the way Rhonda, I’m also deaf. 🙂
June 8th, 2010 at 11:03 pm
@ Rhonda
I agree with you, Sidekick is best one.. and best QWERTY keyboard.. I know, many deaf people buy blackberry and I don’t understand why they go after BB? it’s so damn small keyboard!! it’s is worse!! I don’t understand why they after BB?? they can’t use phone call cuz they are deaf, can’t hear it lol plus keyboard is terrible! I m sorry, I m so pinic!!!! I hate BLACKBERRY!!!
I m deaf, 100% can’t hear… that is why, I can’t typing this shitty keyboard! it’s HORRIBLE!!
I have sidekick since 2002…. sk mono, sk color, sk2, sk3, and last now I m use sklx09!! and I LOVE IT!
I hope, there will come true HTC sidekick!!! aaarrrggggghhhhh!! I love Super AMOLDED with 4.3 inches and 1 ghz processor! ahhhh!! I want it!!
June 8th, 2010 at 11:07 pm
@ Alessandra
I thought, you told mev that you are hard of hearing and you can talk on phone? I m confused…
deaf and hard of hearing are different mean… 🙂
June 8th, 2010 at 11:13 pm
Magnus: I am deaf and hard-of-hearing but I consider myself more of a deaf person due to the fact that can’t really hear too much once my hearing aid is removed from the once good ear, without my hearing aid you have to talk louder for me to hear you because my hearing loss in that ear is on the Severe-To-Profound level which is the last level of being able to hear with a hearing aid before you become fully deaf. Yes I can talk on the phone thanks to my hearing aid but I can also talk on the phone without my hearing aid too, if I put the Sidekick on Speakerphone where it’s LOUD enough for me to hear what’s being said over the phone whenever I have my hearing aid off, I never put it on speakerphone when I have my hearing aid on, I just hold it up to my hearing aid.

Sidekick is a SUCK! I was member of sidekick since 2002 to 2009, when the service started freak up! I was switched tmobile to Verizon. once again, Sidekick is alway SUCK!
