I have had my Slide since last July, I have already had to get a replacment becuase my trackball froze completly! Now I have to send it back and get the blue one because the screen on this second purple one is all messed up! The color is all wrong, and it has lines all over it! I love the features but the problems suck bad with this phone! The phone dies randomly all the time and then has to re-load all the info, the battery sucks too! It lasts maybe 8 hours…..this blue phone better be a lot better cuz this sucks!

I’ve Had my Phone For Over One Year Now, I’ve No problems Till about now, my phone doesn’t turn off completely but the screen will freeze and go black, I’ve been having this problem for a few days now its its starting to worry me, I have to keep the slide door open or the screen will shut off, the phone will stay on but the screens messed up, before my phone use to turn off randomly and I would have to wait hours for my favfive app to come back and all my contacts photos and downloaded content, im just wondering will they still give me the free LX for my problems?

I have a SideKick Slide I Love it. The power issue is the battery if u replace it you are good to go. T-Mobile wants $419.00 for the Slide LX. On e-bay u can get a new one for around 180. In order to get the Slide LX through T-mobile is to exchange you Slide 3 times before they will give u a LX. it’s better to shop e-bay. If your sim card has full web access you can use the LX 3G network. I have dealed with them 4 TIMES!!! there customer service SUCKS!!!!

I am so disappointed with the Slide. =( It was cool at first, but now that I’m looking more into it, mainly cause of the discontinuation, I see that there are so many problems with it. I hate the fact that it shuts off for no reason. One time it shut off, came back on, and then it took like a day for my MyFaves, Contacts, Texts, & Downloads to come back. And just today it froze for like 5 minutes. I’m really looking into getting the new Sidekick ‘08. It looks like a sick phone and I’m willing to deal with the swivel to have all the features that come with it! =)

OMG after reading this I wish I would have googled problems with sidekick slide before purchasing the phone. As many of you I am experiencng each and every problem. I know phones are man made and problems will arise but DAMN this is stupid. I bought my phone in March and ever since then I have had nothing but problems. My phone will restart all the time and erase all my memory and the same as the comments above my phone says DEC 31 8:41pm hhmm today is 9-23 3:20pm mother fuc*ka. I constently lose data and when I called they can never help me or say we never heard of this complaint. Well I am going TODAY after work 5pm to see what they tell me and believe me I will print all this out and other sites I have googled and hopefully they help me. I want to break the phone pay the stupid termination fee and go back to Cingular or pay the high security deposit for VERIZON. Luck is what I need today!!!

SINCERELY,

JUSME… So you think we are all on here because we have nothing else to do. Just because you haven’t had these issues doesn’t mean we are lying. I have the blackberry Curve now so my venting on here is done thank GOD!!!!!!!!!

So I got T-Mobile to offer me the blackberry pearl 8100 but they will only give me the gold one. I’ve been through so much with this sidekick you would think they can at least give me a nice looking one. Or even just the plain silver one. I really want the blackberry curve but they won’t give me any type of discount. IF I get the pearl I won’t need to extend my contract which is GREAT (at least that’s what the guy said). He made note on my account as I didn’t want to agree with that just yet. Keep calling people make them give you something.

I got my phone in Feb. no one told me when I bought it that I needed the Sidekick option for it to work properly and not power off randomly. I added the Sidekick option and this stupid thing still shuts off on its own. It’ll erase everything and a few times it restarts as Dec 6 no year @ 12am. Then when my memory does reload it adds my contacts in twice and my text messages come back from the previous month. That sh*ts annoying. Does anyone know if they are still exchanging these for the LX???

I didn’t get anywhere with them surprise surprise. Now this darn thing won’t even charge. And it’s the phone not the charger. I have to wait for a replacement of the same damn phone or buy another one. They were going to give me a so called deal on the BlackBerry® Curve which I liked but they quoted me the price I saw in the store. The only thing is that they would waive the activation fee. GIVE ME A BREAK. Oh and they would extend my two year contract out another 6 months since that’s how long I’ve had this piece of c**p phone. I will be returning this phone every month until they give me what I want. A few people at TM said after a certain amount of returns they will offer another phone. What that is I don’t know. They’ve wasted my time enough they can keep sending me phones on them as long as they want.

Let me know if you can get anything out of them. I’m heading there today to see what i can get out of them I’m done with this phone. Now my charger doesn’t work.

TM won’t do anything. they just said i can by another phone and sale the sidekick.. Why would i do that!?!?!!? I wouldn’t sell that to any friend or family memeber not a chance. So for now i just have to deal with this Cr&py phone.

can u exchange the sidekick slide for the blue lx if the phone was second hand ?

By: Ruth

Ruth — Sat, 15 Mar 2008 00:58:26 +0000

TM doesn’t do anything but send you the same phone that won’t work. I replaced it on 1/7/08 and put in a request again today 3/14/08. I’ll be calling them every month until they let me upgrade or something this is ridiculous. Let us stop paying the bill with TM and then we get bad credit. I spoke to someone at Motorola and they said this isn’t a known issue on there end any longer as TM told me too.

Are they still replacing the Slides for LX? What did TMobile do for the recent defective phones?

I would like to find out what T-mobile did to solve your Slide issue.
