It looks like T-Mobile is ready to put the past behind and start selling new Sidekicks again. We were expecting this to happen at some point but will T-Mobile customers trust a Sidekick again?

Just a while ago T-Mobile lost all that personal data up there in the cloud and for a period of time everyone thought that data was lost forever. But T-Mobile working with Microsoft and Danger managed to solve almost everything when nobody was expecting a fix anymore.

This isn't the first time we're suggesting that the Pixi is going to bring a new firmware version of Palm's webOS once it's going to be available from Sprint. The phone is supposed to be available starting with November 15 in Sprint stores. The Pixi will go for $99.99 after a $50 instant rebate and $100 mail-in rebate with a new contract.

webOS 1.3.1 has been rumored for a while now and from what we can see so far in the video below, the Pixi is definitely going to come with a new OS version. Unless Palm changes its mind and decides to postpone the new webOS for a while. There's no indication about Palm's intentions so far and we have no idea when Pre users will also get the new OS.
