It should be known that the Sprint variant of the Samsung Galaxy S II will be entering the market on 16th of September as “Epic 4G Touch”, and that two of the major retailers are already offering the handset at low prices as oppose to the retail price of $199.

According to the reports claiming the arrival of Samsung Galaxy S II the AT&T handset will sport the next generation Smartphone technology counting a 4.3 inch Super AMOLED display, which will give super crisp video playback along with a bright screen, together with an 8 megapixel camera, which easily could record in 1080P HD.

The Samsung Galaxy S II will also be having a dual-core processor for delivering quick speeds. The Galaxy S II is also said to be the slimmest handset till date from the manufacturer.

The Samsung Galaxy S II device will come with Google Android 2.3, and will also be having Wi-Fi connectivity, Samsung’s TouchWiz UI and Bluetooth.

According to the industry insiders, the images of Samsung Galaxy S II that are surfacing over the internet are the images of a brand new offering from Samsung the “Samsung Hercules.” Now, you might be a tad confused, and hence let us clear the air for you. The Samsung Hercules is the forthcoming offering from Samsung, which will be available on both T-Mobile and Telus, and which as for now has been confirmed as a sure-enough variant of Galaxy S II.

The Samsung Hercules is similar to the original Superphone in many ways, but in addition the handset also has a tad bigger 4.5 in Super AMOLED Plus display just like the Infuse 4G, and at the same time it will also be having a 1.2GHz dual-core processor, which instead of Sammy’s very own Exynos, will probably be a Qualcomm processor and will also be a 42Mbps HSPA+ radio.

The curved corners on the rear end of the handset also appeared rather similar to the within — the GSII version which will be offered with Sprint. The full-frontals could be found after the break, which also recalls the design of the Nexus S. The only thing that is missing from here is any talk about of NFC, which actually features in the earlier rumors.

If the rumors are to be believed we are pretty excited about the handset, and on the basis of the specs rumored for the handset we will say that it sounds pretty decent handset and surely is worth considering.

This all has made us think, whether the Sidekick makes a comeback or it’s just too late for a comeback? The good thing here is that at least Samsung thinks that the Sidekick can make a comeback, and that’s what the Samsung Sidekick 4G tells us all. The all new Samsung Sidekick 4G remains true to its heritage and bumps its specifications by including a set of upgraded specifications and including some vital entertainment.

The Samsung Sidekick 4G is an Android handset now, and suffers from some hardware and software flaws that make it look outdated and puts it several steps behind.

The silhouette of the new Sidekick 4G is the trademark Sidekick silhouette, having 2 buttons on both sides of the 3.5 in touch screen having native resolution of 480 x 800 resolution. The left side is graced by a Jump and Home button. There is a Menu and Back key situated on the right edge of the phone, with a little optical track button inserted in the middle.

If you are right handed, it will take you a bit to get use to this button placement. We really would have appreciated the placement of the Home button at the bottom right corner of the phone when its held in the landscape orientation, with the Back button at the rear above that and the Jump and Menu keys on the left side. We lost our thumbs quiet a number of times.

The Samsung Sidekick weighs almost as an iPhone 4, but it’s a tad longer than the iPhone and at the same time is 50 percent thicker. The Samsung Sidekick 4G easily fits in the pocket, but it is a bit chunky. The thickness of the handset can be credited to the physical keyboard under the screen. The screen of the Sidekick easily slides out using the “pop-tilt” mechanism, and brings out the sassy pink underside of the display after the handset is held at a comfortable viewing angle.

The power and the volume rocker of the phone are positioned a tad under where you have to place your thumb for pushing the display out. This results in a lot of unintentional adjustments in the volume because of the accidental button-pressing.

The QWERTY keyboard of the handset was also not all that comfortable, and we found the keys a tad uncomfortably spaced out.

If you are buying the Samsung Sidekick 4G especially for making calls, then let us tell you that the call quality is superb. The noise cancellation of the phone has been nicely implemented. The HSPA+ 4G speeds for the phone were generally good, and we didn’t face any sort of problems in that.

Overall, we would say that the Samsung Sidekick 4G offers a modern update to the conventional feel and look of the old Sidekick handsets, but that old design also causes some quirks for the phone in the form of software quirks. Seeing the current breed of Android handsets in the market it’s really tough to recommend the Samsung Sidekick 4G over other Android handsets in the market. Although, if you have been a Sidekick user previously or are a long time BlackBerry user then you will love the user experience of the Samsung Sidekick 4G, find out more about the handset.
