There is a front-facing camera for video calls (powered by the Qik service). The 3MP camera on the back has no flash (boo) but at least has autofocus and takes decent pictures. The phone is a little on the long side, compared to what I have been used to, but still slides into my pocket comfortably. The arrangement for the Home, Back, Jumplist, and Menu buttons takes a little getting used to, as it is utterly unlike any other Android phone, but makes perfect sense after using the phone in landscape mode for messaging and navigation. I don’t know if there will ever be a device that will match the BlackBerry Bold / Torch keyboards, but the Sidekick’s is impressive, comfortable to type on, and the inclusion of the dedicated number keys is welcome.
It has a nice, spacious keyboard that is revealed after sliding up the 3.5 inch screen. It runs Android, Google’s smartphone OS that has been making tons of waves over the past few years. The Sidekick 4G is a pretty sweet smartphone.

The thing that tipped us over the edge was an online sale T-Mobile was having, where they were giving away Sidekick 4G smartphones for free with a new contract. When comparing T-Mobile’s plans and rates, we found that we would save $50 to $60 a month on our cell phone bill, and actually get a bit more than what AT&T was offering. First and foremost was a desire to reduce expenses.
I made the leap as a long-suffering BlackBerry addict recently for a few reasons.
