I asked my friend who works at a T-Mobile store as a Customer Service Rep. This is what he told me:

You first have to get your Sidekick unlocked. Just bring it into a T-Mobile store to get it unlocked or a small retailer/service center who can unlock phones for just $10 to $15. The answer is yes, it'll work in India, AFTER you unlock it

However, I must add - all those features you like about your Sidekick, like picture messaging, AIM, facebook, etc will NOT work in India. The phone's settings make it nearly impossible to use these functions without T-Mobile. Unfortunately there's no current work around.

Also, the Sidekick uses built in memory. You will NOT be able to add memory to it. It's just a function that isn't available on any version of the Sidekick.

Hope that helps.

Hi you can't use sidekick 2008 mobile in india with their local GSM sim until you unlock it from USA t-mobile network provider .You can easily unlock it through online providers like ClassicUnlocking.com here they are rendering network unlock code for all mobile models at reliable cost ...After unlocking the phone you can freely use it with any GSM sim in India ...Also, the Sidekick mobile uses built in memory.SO you will NOT be able to add memory to it. It's just a function that isn't available on any version of the Sidekick.
