Update: As we suspected this device is actually not for T-Mobile as the folks over at Unwired View just updated the article to reflect it’s not a Sidekick and not coming to T-Mobile.
The folks over at Unwired View have received what they believe is a picture of the next Android powered Sidekick to hit T-Mobile sometime later this year. We aren’t quite sure what “reasoning” they are using to determine this other than form factor but we have no reason to doubt their source. Their source states this phone comes with a 3.2″ HVGA touchscreen display, GSM/WCDMA compatibility, wifi, gps and a camera on the back! Sounds like a phone from 2008. All kidding aside the form factor certainly looks Sidekick-ish but we’re going to chalk this one up firmly in the “take with a grain of salt” category until we know more.

As we found out a few months back, all of the old T-Mobile/Danger Sidekicks out there are headed for greener pastures early next week. Come May 31st, the ol’ Danger data servers will given a belly rub, one last defrag, then will be unceremoniously taken out back and shot.
Here’s something we didn’t know, though: if you’ve still got any important photos, contacts, calendars, or notes on that Sidekick floating around in your sock drawer, you’ll want to get them off your device by May 31st. After that point, any Sidekicks that completely lose power (say, if the battery drains to 0%) will lose access to that personal data. You’ll still be able to pull it down from the myT-Mobile backend until June 30th, at which point all that stuff is gone forever. The number for that cute chick you’ve been promising yourself you’d call for like 3 years now? Poof!
Always remember, folks: clouds don’t last forever.
(Note: Don’t worry about any of this if you’ve got the new Sidekick 4G. Name aside, those have very little to do with the old Danger-built models, and aren’t affected by this stuff. Bet T-Mobile’s customer service team is just loving explaining that.)
