I've been searching the web for this, is it possible to change your APN and manipulate settings so that tmobile views your unlocked Nexus One as a Sidekick?

No. The Sidekick is actually a thin client that requires backhaul servers to do all the heavy lifting for data access. These servers are run by Danger (now Microsoft), and they make up the "other half" of the Sidekick phone in that they, not the Sidekick, have direct access to the Internet data pipe. The connection between the Sidekick and its servers is a proprietary (or at least unique) one that does not accommodate other devices.


The Nexus One, on the other hand, is given direct access to the Internet itself without requiring a backhaul server. Making the network think your Nexus One is a Sidekick will leave you completely without data service since the Nexus One has no idea how to talk to the Danger servers.


Sorry.

No. TL;DR Sorry.

Dang, that's an explanation and a half!

I'm kidding, that's a great explanation. I didn't know a Sidekick worked like that.
