T-Mobile officially confirms Galaxy S 4G and Sidekick droids

21 January, 2011

T-Mobile USA has officially confirmed two new 4G droids will be joining their lineup - the Galaxy S 4G and the T-Mobile Sidekick. Unfortunately, all the image material we have is a leaked slide with a couple of blurry shots.

While the two phones are part of an official T-Mobile press release, the details about their specs are quite scarce. Both will have HSPA+ connectivity (not 4G strictly speaking), they will run Android and both are "coming soon" but that's about it.

We previously saw the Galaxy S 4G leak as the T-Mobile Vibrant 4G. So its specs aren't much of a mystery - they're probably the same as the rest of the Galaxy S phones, except the 4G connectivity in the form of 21Mbps worth of HSPA+.



As for the T-Mobile Sidekick, things are much more vague - Sidekicks were originally produced by a company dramatically called Danger, but later they were acquired by Microsoft and tasked to create the ill-fated Kin phones.

It's official that the new Sidekick will run Android (instead of the old Sidekick OS). It's not clear who will make it though - but from that blurry shot it sure looks like Sprint's EVO Shift 4G by HTC.

T-Mobile will be adding a couple of Android tablets too, the Dell Streak 7 and the T-Mobile G-Slate tablet, which will run Honeycomb.
