greetings this is Dickie Adams from pocketnow.com and today we have the unboxing in the new t-mobile sidekick 4G so sit back relax and join us for this first look since its release in 2002 as the danger hip top the sidekick has been on a rollercoaster ride with integration of aim and being the first cell phone capable of placing unassisted tty via the browser it even gained a sign in the American sign language but in 2009 a major outage and a date loss followed by a stop in sales 2010 was thought to be the final nail the name has been resurrected with a new core Android so the box is pretty standard fare this is the pearl magenta kit so that's what we'll see in the color scheme here as we pull this open we can see it's got a really nice white back and that's the phone we'll look at that in more detail in just a moment and if we open up the bottom of this give me a little bit of a struggle just a second there so it opens up just like the original sidekick does inside we've got a micro SD adapter we've got a standard USB to micro USB cable and the power adapter nothing more really accessories wise I assume the cards in the case in the bottom of the where the phone sits is also the start guides and the manuals etc so that's it for the box not anything spectacular to see let's move on to the phone itself so from the front view you can see that it's pretty slim in the hands it feels really good it's not Gorilla Glass but just feel like a glass screen and we flip it over on the side we can see that the accent color which is nice and the chrome backing popping off the back of the case just snaps on we see the Samsung battery there and the SIM card and the speakers are down on the bottom those two little white pieces the battery itself is a 1500 milliamp hours and we'll see how the battery life actually turns out to be pretty nice configuration there and on the side is the micro SD slot only two gigs unfortunately or fortunately for the price a headphone jack volume up and down and the power button on this side and only on the other side we've got the micro USB s-- door and the dedicated camera key and a lanyard hole top not much up here in the bottom it's got the microphone button or a microphone hole I can get this case on correctly the back has a 3 megapixel camera no flash which is a little disappointing and you can't really see it here but it says Samsung on the back and this model is manufactured by Samsung 3.5 inch display with a 1 gigahertz hummingbird processor one gig of ram 512 Meg's of RAM and it is HSPA+ compatible so that means it's a 4G phone when you boot up at boots up in landscape mode which is typical for a sidekick device keyboard is nice and why the buttons stick up just a little bit I'll get into more how those work later you can also see from the front of the screen of the little 0.3 megapixel front-facing camera on the left there and just below that there's two little spots that are for the multicolored LED or the charging in the further notification and they're supposed to be have multi color options looking at the back you can see the actual magenta accent color the pearl magenta kit looks pretty good I would actually use this you know like screen slides right back in place spring-loaded keyboard lights up as you pop it open which is nice and that much give there it does locks fully out it doesn't have any any in between modes and it feels pretty solid all the way through which is great home button quick button a back button and the menu button and a touch sensitive d-pad that does it for our first look check back later for more videos and an in-depth review at pocketnow.com thanks for watching
