![]() ![]() A Home button and Jump button grace the left side. Samsung stuck with the traditional Sidekick silhouette, with two buttons placed on either side of the 3.5-inch 480 x 800 resolution touchscreen. It's an Android phone built for the 4G now, but it has some hardware and software quirks that make it feel several steps behind. So, can the Sidekick make a comeback? Samsung hopes so: The latest iteration of the old classic, the Sidekick 4G for T-Mobile, stays true to its heritage while bumping up its specs and adding a host of media and entertainment perks. Over the years, the Sidekick and its successors ended up losing out to the newer breed of smartphones ushered in by the iPhone – devices with advanced operating systems and apps, and with touch displays in place of physical keyboards. And the large screen – bigger than most other phones in 2002 – made tasks like browsing the web and writing e-mails on your phone actually seem like ideas worth getting used to. It was aligned horizontally to make typing easier, but it wasn't too bulky. With a flip of the thumb, you could expose the physical keyboard hidden behind the screen. However, for Tweens who’ve never used Android or people coming from the old Sidekick, the new Sidekick 4G is a great way to hit the ground running with Google’s OS.You could say the original Sidekick was the first shot fired in the smartphone revolution. Stock Android with large touch screens is the new way of doing things. For now, I like the older version.īottom line: For people like me who’ve moved from the Sidekick platform eventually to Android, this is a reminder that there is no going back. ![]() I imagine with use, the parts will wear and the process will get easier. This Samsung device is more of a two-handed peeling of the screen. The old one took a finger flip, which not only was super easy but contributed to the ‘hipness’. Perhaps my biggest issue with this device is a hardware gripe: The screen doesn’t pop up very easily in this new Sidekick. The combination of these two systems is confusing to users like me who’ve used both and prefer one or the other.Īs the week wore on, I got used to this interface but I’m not entirely convinced that it is overly better than either stock Android or Danger’s original. Meanwhile stock Android presents itself in a 2D grid that can be slid up and down. The original Sidekick’s menu was a simple one-dimensional slide through 10 programs, the most important ones in the middle. Worst of all, the overlay isn’t holistically beneficial. More importantly, the crazy overlay will also mean that it will take much longer to get Android updates to this device (if they happen at all). For those with more refined font and color palettes, the theme will be a turn off. That will appeal to tweens and the hip-hop sect that embraced the original Sidekick. To get the Android OS to operate the way a Sidekick does, Samsung and T-Mobile have built a pretty crazy overlay that puts everything in the funky Sidekick theme. I think T-Mobile doesn’t realize the importance of Voice Actions because they’ve also stripped the MyTouch 4G of that capability, replacing it with their own less powerful utility. This is something I use on Android many times a day and it is now entirely gone. That, in itself isn’t a bad idea, but in doing this, the Sidekick 4G no longer has a search button for instant Voice Search and Actions. For instance, the buttons that normally are on the bottom of an Android phone are now spread around the outside of the SK4G device. ![]() ![]() Unfortunately, the rest of the experience melds the current Android experience and the previous Sidekick experience in unflattering ways. It is easily the best Android keyboard I’ve ever used, beating the previous champion, the Sprint Epic 4G (also made by Samsung). So the good news in this regard is the new Sidekick 4G has the same 5-row keyboard, including shortcuts, as the previous Sidekicks. As with regular typing, I didn’t need to look at my Sidekick keyboard while I was typing. Also, touch screens are more versatile but aren’t as reliable for typing. Some of that could have been in the four years of continuous usage I had with Danger products. As strange as it may sound, I was much more productive (with messaging anyway) on my Sidekick 3 than I was on the iPhone that replaced it or any subsequent Blackberry or Android device that I’ve owned since. ![]()

The series primarily revolves around racing competition between Air Trek users, but it has another side.

Pastore and Scott are believed to have divorced in 1997, shortly before she began her evangelical work with Gene Scott. She also notably began posing nude in Penthouse magazine under photographer Suze Randall during this time, and reportedly also acted in movies produced by Vivid Entertainment. Much of her early career is poorly documented but she did act in several surviving pornographic films including Heidi's High Heeled Hookers, Backdoor Diaries and is listed as executive producer for A Shot in the Pink in 1995. Later, her and Pastore founded another pornographic venture, "Barbie Bridges Enterprises". It is believed that Scott began her career some time in 1990's after her marriage to pornographic director John Pastore, where she did work under his exotic-dancing outfit known as "Fantasy Creation". Scott's career in pornography was largely unknown to the public until an exposé by magazine Marie Claire was published in 2009, detailing her long and obfuscated career in pornography. ![]() She married pornographic director John Pastore sometime in the late 1980's or early 1990's, although she denies she was ever married to the man.
