This kid needs a better lawyer. Most first offenses are suspended sentences and, as an adult, his juvenile record should be sealed and not carry over to haunt him.
Yeah, so what he did was wrong. Also, T-Mobile was wrong to repeatedly ignore these security flaws. Two wrongs don't make a right, but how much of this sentence is intended to "scare" other would-be hackers into not following up on their curiosity.
If I were someone with sensitive information on my smartphone (celebrity, businessman,...) I would have dropped T-Mobile and the Sidekick in a heartbeat. T-Mobile and the Sidekick have proven inept and unable to keep "confidential" information confidential.
