Hmm? Looks ok, well I had the Sidekick LX and it was a good phone, but lacks stuff like 3rd party apps etc. So I just moved on and got a Blackberry Curver 8320 and now, no regrets!! But I might go back to Sidekicks… Hmmm???
Other than a horrid camera, my slide is amazing, its better looking than blackberries, other than the bold… and the UI is as stable as a BB but more apealing. Hate all you want on a these devices, they do a good job at what they are supposed to.
More people would find them apealing if they learned how to use one, instead of flaming sidekicks because every little scene kid wants, or has one. Long live sidekick form factor and danger OS. We do need more open sourceness though =[
Please I left this fisher price phone for the iPhone and have no regrets. When the sidekick has a better OS and something they no other phone already has had for five years then let me know. This phone is so behind on is technology. I couldn’t believe that I had to pay $1.49 for crappy radio ringtones I’m the catalouge where I can easily get ANY song I want on iTunes for 99 cents or in my case for free
Toss a touchscreen on here, and a WinMoPro OS, then you might steal some business from crackberry addicts, and HTC-freaks. Until then it’s still a tweener phone ( i hate the word tween BTW) but if you offer a solid professional option a la propel pro (fail) then you might have some subs switch to T-mob. Well that and a continued improvement on your 3G footprint.
I think Middle School kids still use this…
Does it come out in May?
Can you replace the shells on it?
@C.Cox, as if they G1 is a “smart” phone
im usually on top of tech stuff but could someone take a few seconds and tell what the retail communication home page is so i know what to look for tomorrow
my first phone was a sidekick, i fell in love with it. and ive been getting every sidekick that they made. sadly, my old LX broke and i decided to get the blackberry curve. it was a great phone. But i liked the sidekick better.
maybe its just because im in highschool, and its more fun to flip it than jus hold a blackberry in ur hand. and now that it has 3G and youtube and all, its exactly what i wanted in a sidekick. the only thing i would change is the OS. its been the same since day one
all u sidekick haters SHUT UP sure da sk is for teens but let us b damn… dis new phone has alot of apps that help teens connect nd chat 2 dere friends the target audience for da sidekick is from 13-18 so u old haters wouldnt understand >=[
