R.I.P. T-Mobile Sidekick

Starting on July 2, T-Mobile USA will discontinue and stop  sales of the Sidekick family of devices. The reason?  a better phone just like the Sidekick is out (myTouch Slide).

“As T-Mobile looks to further innovate and raise the bar for the next iteration of the T-Mobile Sidekick, as of July 2, the Sidekick LX and Sidekick 2008 will no longer be available through T-Mobile, including retail stores, care, telesales and online. While we work on the next chapter of our storied Sidekick franchise, T-Mobile will continue to provide our loyal Sidekick customers with product service and support. Stay tuned for exciting updates in the months ahead, which we expect will provide customers with a new and fresh experience.”

Probably T-Mobile will launch new phones based on Android. A new android sidekick coming ?
