That said, the 1GHz Cortex A8 Hummingbird processor holds its own for all sorts of fun stuff – like watching an HD video file of Tron: Legacy for example:Īnd what color combo should you get? Why, pink and white, of course! Your other combination of colors is black, but if you’re thinking about purchasing a sidekick in order that you might blend into the background – you’re going to be out of luck either way. Obviously I and we are interested in the device because it’s got Android on it, and we’re using it thusly, but it’s really not Android that this device is strong for. In other words, this device could sell without Android on it. Obviously it’s not exactly the same, but it IS a more powerful connection, I’d contend, than people’s loyalty to the Galaxy brand from Samsung – agree? Disagree? EIther way, the Sidekick brand is powerful, and Samsung has a fox by the tail, a cute fox that everyone is going to want to get ahold of, regardless of what his guts look like. What that means is that people know the Sidekick brand like they know the iPhone brand. This device is going to sell on Brand Power. Because this device comes from a long line of oddities, so too must this review be a bit non-traditional. That’s what’s going on here with the T-Mobile Sidekick 4G. The screen might also get a little scratched as it’s no Gorilla Glass, but wait – why are you throwing this device against the ground anyway?īecause odd stuff comes up, and when it does, you’re going to want to have a unique phone to go along with it. If you take this phone and whip it at the ground as hard as you possibly can (and I haven’t tested this, note,) the worst thing that’s going to happen is that the battery cover is going to pop off. Once I started to handle this device in ernest, I realized that, while other phones made of mostly plastic seemed flimsy and sometimes less than comfortable to the palm of my hand, this one was molded and formed to fit both my hands and my pocket-with-keys and often-dropping lifestyle. Then there’s the second time you first see the phone – you’re not in as much of a rush, you can sit down, stand up, walk around with the device and use it as a phone or text, and you can watch a little movie on it – or a big movie, as you’re about to see below. First there’s the first time you open the box – you’ve got to see what’s inside the box, you’ve got to pop the batter cover off the device, and you’ve got to see if the device will turn on without the assistance of a battery. There’s two different moments when you “first see” a phone if you’re a person who reviews electronics for a living like yours truly.
