Well I don't get where u think this phone has died.
In our development section we have someone working (successfully) on getting us CM7, and another person getting us ASOP.
So if anything, this phone is more alive than it has been in months.

The work on GB just started a week ago. Shut up and stop trolling. The only way this phone will ever get GB is if people like you stay out of the way of the people who are getting work done.

Third party development for the Sidekick 4G has NOT ceased. I can see that we at the very most have 5 active projects continuing. Officially, T-Mobile has stopped support and updates for the Sidekick 4G however. Our only hope, is to support those who are continuing to bust their ass for the Sidekick 4G when they could just go get a nicer phone and develop for that instead.

I'm looking forward to a brighter future for this device, please be more possitive. I know this device has potential.

Then device itself is quite nice. If we do get AOSP/CM, I'll be satisfied with the SK4G for a few more years. Five row keyboards are a rarity for some reason, and I need one for SSH.

yeah we slowed down dev but look it doesnt matter as long as we are a 4g phone we could do just the same as the epic 4g did and not dev for awhile but burst with everything soon enough it just takes time and devs to get the phone

That's true, the Epic 4G did eventually get CM support after a long delay.

However, it also has approximately two zillion units in deployment. The SK4G has more of a struggle ahead, with far fewer handsets in the field.

I wish more sysadmin types would realize what a great device the Sidekick 4G is for remote management. Top-notch SSH client, flexible VPN options. That user base could really benefit from the SK4G's virtues.
