The Sidekick 4G was Android based with no backend.  Personally, I would love a Sidekick 5G.  

It wasn't the same and did so poorly than the actual sidekicks.  It was a sidekick in name only.

As far as I understood the acquisition of Danger.  T-Mobile owns the Sidekick branding but Danger, now Microsoft owns the OS and backend side of how the Sidekicks worked.  Microsoft also owns the swivel screen patent where the slide screen patent was owned by another company.  Obviously phones have changed so much since then.  The Sidekick as a brand though, was and still is iconic.  Do we really have an ultimate texting device in today's market?

Correct T-Mobile only owns the branding.  MS could make a Sidekick and not call it a sidekick, but we'd know it is a sidekick lol.  I believe slide screen patent is also now owned by MS.  

Honestly the closest I have ever felt to a sidekick in form of a texting device was PalmOS.  LG uses it on their TVs and some other stuff, but I'd love to have a phone.  I honestly think the WING would have been fun with PalmOS and a keyboard instead of numpad.  

blasting away with posts in here will not get TMO to bring in this phone..

it WILL however mark you as a spammer which will eventually get you booted..include something in your posts.

BRING. IT. BACK! The only phone I’d ditch my iPhone for.
