Thanks to Radio Shack, it's no surprise that the Sidekick 4G is hitting the sales floor on April 20th for $99, but T-Mobile has finally made an official announcement via its Twitter page. In the interest of consolidation, it was also announced that the LG G2x would be available in-store for $199 after a $50 mail in rebate, but If you just can't wait to get your hands it, you'll be able to grab it online starting April 15th.

If you need a quick refresher on the specs of these two devices, here you go:

LG G2x

1GHz dual-core Tegra 2 processor
512MB RAM
8GB internal memory
8MP rear camera/1.3MP front camera
4 inch screen
Android 2.2

Samsung Sidekick 4G

1GHz Hummingbird processor
3MP rear camera/0.3MP front camera
Slide-out QWERTY keyboard
3.5 Inch screen
Android 2.2

So, which device do you choose - the oh-so-classic feel of the Sidekick and deal with the subpar camera, or go all out and rock the dual-core G2x?

Posted by Artem Russakovskii in G2x (p999), LG, News, T-Mobile

While AT&T and Verizon both announced dual-core devices at CES (Atrix 4G and Droid Bionic, respectively), T-Mobile and Sprint have been quiet about their offerings. It was only through accidental leaks that we found out about the LG Optimus 2X, rebranded as T-Mobile G2x, coming to T-Mobile and the EVO 3D coming to Sprint.

Now, after being spotted at CTIA, the G2x really had nowhere else to hide, so T-Mobile decided to finally officially unveil it to the public. As expected, the G2x sports a dual-core 1GHz Tegra 2 processor with a 4" capacitive display, an 8GB ROM, an 8MP rear camera with 1080P video recording, a 1.3MP front-facing camera, DLNA capabilities, and the stock version of Android 2.2 (!).

Remember that onslaught of dual-core smartphones and Honeycomb-running tablets we have been anticipating for a while now? It has already begun - and it is only going to keep on growing. The latest rumored release is for the LG G-Slate and G2X, which, according to TmoNews, are both set to launch at T-Mobile stores on April 20.

The dual-core G-Slate (also known as Optimus Pad) will be, along with the upcoming Galaxy Tab 10.1, the first Honeycomb-running rivals to give the Motorola XOOM a run for its money. LG's 8.9" tab will be the first to incorporate 3D technology, and is rumored to be priced at $699 (let's just hope that's off-contract).
