T-Mobile confirms Sidekick 4G and G2x release details

Poor T-Mobile USA. The carrier’s big Sidekick 4G availability surprise had already been scooped by RadioShack at the tail-end of last month, leaving it nothing to do today but blurt out a desultory tweet confirming the April 20 release. Still, it brightens up when it comes to the T-Mobile G2x, which is also due on April 20; pricing details after the cut.


The G2x – which is T-Mobile’s version of the LG Optimus 2X – will be priced at $199.99 after a $50 mail-in rebate, and assuming a new, two-year agreement. It will drop in stores on the 20th but be available online from April 15.
Your money gets you a 1GHz Tegra 2 dual-core processor, 8-megapixel camera and 4.0-inch touchscreen. More details of both phones in our sibling-site’s hands-on of the Sidekick 4g and LG G2X
