updated 12:00 am EDT, Fri March 18, 2011
Included microSD card limited to 2GB
Samsung has reportedly confirmed that its Sidekick 4G handset, which is headed to T-Mobile, will support tethering and mobile hotspot functionality. Additional details posted by Phone Scoop also suggest users will be able to expand the 1GB of onboard memory with a microSD card, though the included microSD card only holds 2GB of data.
The latest Sidekick maintains the same form factor as its predecesor, including the slide-tilt display above the full QWERTY keyboard. The handset is otherwise upgraded with Google's Android OS, along with a touchscreen, 1GHz Hummingbird processor, front-facing camera, and 21Mbps 3G connectivity.
T-Mobile has yet to announce pricing or launch details for the Sidekick 4G.
