T-Mobile releases video of Sidekick 4G

T-Mobile really wants you to know the Sidekick 4G is coming. In a new video released recently, product manager Joe Fernandez shows off the phone's sliding mechanism and Android interface.

The new Sidekick interface is based on Android 2.2 and Samsung's TouchWiz, although it has some unique Sidekick touches, like those links on the right-hand side of the screen. Samsung's "Feeds and Updates" social-networking widget appears in the video, though.

The screen slides up with a click to reveal the 5-row QWERTY keyboard. The black version of the phone is made of a matte, soft-touch material, Fernandez said.

The Sidekick 4G is supposedly coming out "this spring". Hope we learn more about it at the CTIA Wireless trade show next week.
