Once upon a time T-Mobile’s Sidekicks were the big “kahuna” of all devices and smartphones. Its ability to access the web, email, and instant message were out of this world. However, we can honestly look back and come to terms that those days have long passed, and T-Mobiles offer of the G1 android based phone is an attempt to “re-invent” the craze that once Sidekicks created.

With this being said, a company called PCD (Personal Communications Devices) a venture that distributes handsets and markets them as well released a bit of lengthy news regarding the forecasted and confirmed release of several new phones such as the Quickfire for AT&T and a couple for HTC. They also announced that they will handle a variety of new Sidekicks for T-Mobile within this year. Previous Sidekicks did not have 3G, Wi-Fi, or full HTML browser capabilities. Hopefully this time around T-Mobile will capture the needs of a much needed and anticipated return of the “Sidekick craze”, and release a truly competitive device to our new adaptive market of iPhones and BlackBerries that can basically do whatever you want it too.
