By John Walton April 20, 2011 - 7:18pm EST Comments

T-Mobile's long-running successful messaging device franchise, the Sidekick, has reincarnated today, minus Danger's tween-targeted interface, powered instead by the streamlined and optimized Android 2.2.1. Another bump over previous iterations, as the Sidekick 4G brand would imply, is compatibility with T-Mobile's 4G 21Mbps HSPA+ network. Pair that with a 1GHz... Read more »
