Device mimics Sidekick 4G, but with Sharp branding
AT&T is reportedly preparing to launch a new Android-based handset that appears to mimic the Sidekick 4G available through T-Mobile. Although the latest Sidekick is built by Samsung, the model shown in leaked images carries Sharp branding. The device appears to maintain the Sidekick's characteristic QWERTY-slider design.
Unnamed sources have told Unwired View the handset will integrate a 3.2-inch touchscreen and a full set of standard smartphone features, including Wi-Fi, GPS, and a rear-facing camera.
AT&T and Sharp have yet to confirm specs surrounding the mystery device, leaving launch information unclear.
