For anyone out there still holding on to the Sidekick, consider the official nail in the coffin.  According to a T-Mobile statement, after May 31st, the Sidekick services will no longer be available.   T-Mo will offer SK users easy transfer to a new device, which is more than likely the Samsung-constructed Sidekick 4G more than likely.   T-Mo suggesting users to download the SK app that can export your data to your memory card.   The brief release is after the break.

After May 31, 2011, the Danger Service (a subsidiary of Microsoft) used by T-Mobile Sidekick customers for data services will no longer be available on Sidekick devices.
T-Mobile will provide offers for our Sidekick customers before May 31, 2011, to help make an easy transition from their existing Sidekick device to a new device. We will have more information to share about these offers with our customers in the weeks ahead.
To ensure the best possible transition for our loyal Sidekick customers, an enhanced Web tool is available on myT-Mobile.com to easily export their personal data, including contacts, photos, calendar, notes, to-do lists, and bookmarks, from the Danger service to a new device, computer, or a designated e-mail account. An application is also available in the Sidekick Catalog to make it easy to export personal data to the Sidekick’s memory card. Many T-Mobile stores can transfer data from that card to a new T-Mobile device if the customer brings in the memory card and Sidekick.”
