If you still have a Sidekick phone running the Danger OS, its days of being a fully functioning device are numbered. After May 31, 2011, the data services provided by Danger will no longer be available, essentially neutering the internet-centric phone. If you were unaware, Danger is now owned by Microsoft.
Straight out of T-Mobile CEO’s mouth, we have confirmation of a 4G Sidekick: only this one’s running Android. There’s also a 4G Samsung Galaxy S on the way, which will infuriate those who bought the phone in December.
Not 24 hours after Microsoft killed Kin dead, T-Mobile has abandoned the granddaddy of messaging phones. Sidekick sales will cease on July 2, and honestly? No one will care.
Being a day-two customer of the G1, I know the plight of slide-out QWERTY Android-lovers well. WHERE ARE OUR GODDAMN SLIDEY-ANDROIDS, HTC?!
After the Windows Phone 7 launched passed without so much as a mention, Project Pink, Microsoft’s other new phone project, started to fade into memory. Today, we can confirm: Pink is coming, and Verizon’s the carrier.
OK, OK, OK, rewind a few weeks. Before WinPho 7 trundled into the daylight, the strongest evidence we had for a new product from Microsoft actually centred around something else: The long-rumoured, utterly mysterious Project Pink. So, err, what happened?
BGR is reporting that the Sidekick’s days at T-Mobile are numbered. While it’s speculation for now, evidence from a “briefing” indicates that the myTouch Slide will spell the eventual doom of the flippy, text-heavy (but troubled) handset.
