Samsung Sidekick 4G White Wi-Fi 1 GHz 3.5" Touchscreen QWERTY Android, Factory Refurbished, T-Mobile / SimpleMobile
Factory refurbished and reconditioned to working order, this Sidekick 4G White WI-FI 1ghz 3.5" Touchscreen Qwerty T-Mobile / Simplemobile Android is the white Samsung Sidekick 4G slider with Android 2.2, a 3.5-inch touchscreen, five-row keyboard, and Wi-Fi. Refurbished white units suit prop houses and parts dealers who want working hardware without paying for a sealed box.
The Samsung Sidekick 4G is T-Mobile's 2011 Android reboot of the Sidekick, a 5.7 oz slider measuring 2.42 x 5.0 x 0.6 inches with a 3.5-inch WVGA touchscreen, a five-row QWERTY keyboard, a 1 GHz processor, Android 2.2, a 3 MP camera, Wi-Fi, and a physical jump key for switching apps. Sidekick Group Text and Cloud Text ran group messaging across phones and PCs, the Sidekick Media Room pulled together streaming video and music, and HSPA+ data on T-Mobile's Bands I and IV peaked at 21 Mbps, with quad-band GSM for roaming.
Collector shops, prop houses, and nostalgia resellers buy the Sidekick 4G from TG Wireless in new and refurbished grades, since its GSM/HSPA+ radios get no US service today.

Condition: Factory Refurbished
Factory refurbished units have been reconditioned to close-to-new working order. They are not brand new and may show light signs of handling. TG tests and grades each unit before it ships. Tell your account manager whether you need units with the original box and accessories or handset-only packs; the mix varies by lot.
Network and compatibility
The Sidekick 4G is a GSM/HSPA+ phone whose "4G" means HSPA+ data on T-Mobile's Bands I and IV; it has no LTE radio and no VoLTE. US 3G retired in 2022 and T-Mobile shut down 2G GSM on August 3, 2026, so it gets no US voice or data service. These are T-Mobile / Simple Mobile branded units; see the network status line in the table. Realistic uses are collectors, film and TV props, Wi-Fi-only Android use, parts, and export to live UMTS 2100 markets if unlocked.
Resale fit
- Collector and nostalgia resellers who want new or clean refurbished Samsung Sidekick 4G sliders.
- Film, TV, and theater prop houses needing 2011-era T-Mobile Android phones.
- Parts dealers supplying five-row keyboards, screens, and housings.
