This April Fool's day joke was cute for T-Mobile, though it has us wishing there really was a T-Mobile Sidekick reboot after the Samsung-made and Android-powered Sidekick 4G from 2011. It can’t do any of the smart features, though, as they’re regular ol’ sneaks. You can actually purchase the T-Mobile Sidekicks (which are magenta hi-top Converse-lookalikes with the words “T-Mobile Sidekicks” on them) for $65 before April 15. There’s even a “Hey Sidekicks” voice assistant, which features the soothing voice of T-Mobile’s own CEO, John Legere.Īmong some other features, the Smartshoephone is entirely fictional as this is T-Mobile’s April Fool’s day joke. The T-Mobile sidekicks also have a display that takes up the entire bottom of the sole of one shoe while the other features “Sole speakers” and retractable Smart Laces that double as earbuds. The kicks will also light up when you receive an incoming call and the lights will flash like the Sidekick 3’s scroll ball did. Share your contact information quickly by tapping toes with another Sidekicks owner. T-Mobile’s Smartshoephone features a flip-out screen like the Sidekick, only it pops out of the side of the sole. Seeing really is believing with the new T-Mobile Sidekick. As fun as they are functional, T-Mobile Sidekicks are fully tricked out for speed on the fastest LTE network ever and optimized for unlimited data with T-Mobile ONE, of course. Today, T-Mobile introduces the world’s first Smartshoephone™: T-Mobile Sidekicks. ![]() It was an iconic smartphone that had several celebrity endorsements, a screen that flipped out in a really cool 180-degree motion, and its operating system would eventually evolve into what we know today as Android. Those who prefer wired headsets will be pleased with the standard 3.5mm socket, also ideal for using the handset as a PMP with your own headphones, but it's side-mounted which could present an issue when the LX 2009 is monopolizing your pocket.The T-Mobile Sidekick is getting reincarnated in the carrier’s latest announcement. We tested several Bluetooth headsets with the LX 2009 and had no issues either with connecting or using them day to day. Phone features – once you've gotten past the bulk by your ear – are serviceable, with a little echo but no noticeable hiss. Video is less successful, with highest resolution topping out at 320 x 240 and quality coming in at sub-digital camera level, never mind that of a cheap camcorder. Of course, you can always whip out the memory card or use the supplied miniUSB cable to hook up to a computer. At the turn of the millennium, we communicated with friends and high school crushes after class by way of desktops and house phones. GPS can be used to geotag images – although you'll need to turn it on first, as Danger leave it switched off by default – and there are options to share shots via MMS, Bluetooth, email or straight to a Facebook gallery. The LED flash falls into the trap of over-saturating closer shots and yet proving too weak for anything more distant, but the autofocus snaps into place reasonably quickly and there's little delay between clicking the right shoulder-button and the frame being captured. The 3.2-megapixel camera is a welcome leap in megapixels but won't replace anything but the cheapest of point-and-shoots. T-Mobile Sidekick 4G Unboxing by AaronThe newest Sidekick is in the house, and its sporting Android Aaron unboxes the T-Mobile Sidekick 4G, which is made. Considering the advances in email-cellphone integration – look at the GMail client on Android handsets, for example – the LX 2009 is at risk of losing its edge. It won't disappoint any Sidekick upgraders, but neither will it blow anyone away. The email app will still only allow three external accounts to be added, and the SMS app is limited to 100 inbox messages. ![]() In fact it seems Danger were so busy catching up with Twitter that they neglected to bring their SMS and email apps up to date. It's a shame, as the app otherwise includes everything we could ask for: profile viewing, following and unfollowing, and of course that eminently-peckable keyboard to blast out your own tweets. The LX 2009's Twitter app puts updates straight on the phone's homepage, which is something we wish other handsets would copy, but at its fastest will only check for new messages every five minutes. The Sidekick LX 2009 ships with preloaded MySpace, Facebook and Twitter clients, with the former offering access to searching, viewing profiles, messaging and commenting, and access to image galleries. IF YOU CANCEL WIRELESS SERVICE, REMAINING BALANCE ON DEVICE BECOMES DUE. Regulatory fees included in monthly price for qualified accounts. Fast reliable no annual contractsit’s that simple. Messaging has always been the Sidekick's forte, and Danger have done their best to keep up with what's fashionable in social networking. TMobile Home Internet is available at your Chicago home for just 50/mo.
