    If you’re short on cash and desperate for the speedy joys of 4G connectivity, go ahead and cancel your late-night plans for tomorrow. The pink carrier is offering the T-Mobile G2 and the Sidekick 4G smartphones during its After Hours special tomorrow night, from 9 p.m. to 3 a.m. And get this: they’re free. Of course, you’ll have to sign up for a new two-year contract with T-Mobile to participate in the deal, but the good news is there’s a pretty good chance you can get out of it once AT&T swallows T-Mo.

    In case you’re unfamiliar, the T-Mobile G2 is a Android 2.2 Froyo-powered smartphone sporting a slide-out QWERTY keyboard, a 5-megapixel camera with flash and capable of video capture in 720p, and a 800 x 480p 3.7-inch display. The Sidekick 4G maintains all of the traditions of the name it bears, with some added awesomeness. The Sidekick has a spring-loaded QWERTY keyboard, a rear and front-facing camera, and runs Android 2.2 Froyo.
