R.I.P.: T-Mobile Officially Discontinues Sidekick Sales
Only a few days ago, we reported that Microsoft killed off its Kin cell phone line. Now, the death knell has rung for yet another mobile device favored by teens. According to Phone Scoop, T-Mobile announced that it will no longer sell versions of the Sidekick as of July 2nd. The company will provide support for customers who bought a Sidekick during its six-year run, but you won't find the flip phones in stores or online anymore. A T-Mobile spokesperson told Phone Scoop in an e-mail that the company is working on products that will offer consumers a "new and fresh experience." Honestly, for the Sidekick, the writing has been on the wall since T-Mobile announced the Android-powered myTouch 3G line last year. Not to mention, the Sidekick, like the Kin, was developed by Danger, which makes the Microsoft-owned company the Grim Reaper of cell phones.So goodbye, Sidekick. We'll soon forget your tacky color schemes and swiveling screen design. But we'll always remember those painful commercials that brought together NBA stars Charles Barkley and Dwayne Wade. You'll stay in our heart's Fave Five forever. [From: Phone Scoop, via: Engadget]

I've been with T-Mobile,well back then it was Powertell. T-Mobile service sucks. It's support group is rude,very un-professional and won't admit when they have made a mistake. They get you to buy their phones and sneak in contracts that you don't even sign for and if you have stock you'd better dump it quickly.

I must agree that tmobile does suck a lot! How could they get rid of the phone that made them something?! If it wasn't for the sidekick they would have probably been bought out by like Verizon or AT&T!! plus I had a sidekick and up until the problem with the info being lost the sidekick 08 was a good phone!
