The T-mobile Sidekick 4G runs Android 2.2. I got mine back in July, and
it didn't come with Talkback or a speech synthesizer. Also, many of the
stock applications are modified, and range from hard to impossible to use.
The phone would have been pretty much useless without Mobile
Accessibility. With the software installed, it becomes much more usable.
At least they didn't remove the setting to make the power button end
calls.
While there are some things I would like to see added to MA, it does what
I need it to do for the most part. The main thing I'd like to see
improved is to have the ability to dial numbers with the touch screen
while in a call. This would make it unnecessary to use the stock phone
app, which is pretty much useless. It would also eliminate the need to
open the keyboard to deal with menu systems like voice mail. I also find
that even if I have the phone up to my ear, if I bump it while on a call,
it will switch to speaker phone. According to the MA manual, it's
supposed to be a double tap, but it seems a bit too sensitive. It seems
to me that the speakerphone function should be disabled when the phone is
close enough to your ear to trigger the proximity sensor.
