im thinking of getting a sidekick (maybe the lx since its the best one out )
....any information about it? pros/ cons?
what do you guys think about it, has anyone even got it ?

[yoohyex]

Sidekick is pretty cool.
i dont have it but ive borrowed it from ppl.
what i think.

Pros
____

fast typing
the sidekick data plan (unlimited txt+internet for a price per month)
some games
music
has aim, msn, and yahoo.
- you can sign on to all of them
Multi-task (internet and chat) but you have to press the back button to go back to main screen.
but if you click interent again, it take you back to your original page.

Cons
______
internet is slow
-some websites cant be accessed such as youtube and myspace. i think they have their own plan
the buttons are too small
so its sometimes hard to press them



Well thats what i think from personal experience
the choice is yours in the end.
i would get one too, but my parents wont let me. T_T

i like the slide.

I love the design. When I first saw it I really wanted, but then I heard all these bad things about. They charge you extra for the features most basic phones have.

WORST PHONE EVER.




okay, not entirely, aside from the full qwerty keyboard, thats the only thing that i like, honestly, other than that i hate it. There is no way you can get custom ringtones other than buying it from the catalog, the sidekick does NOT come with an alarm clock, you have to buy that from the catalog, the internet is slow and its really bulky. My reception was always going off and on and many times calls wouldn't go through. I sold my sidekick after 2 months for a blackberry.

uum, i saw it being advertised and stuff.
it looks nice. but i don't think its worth the money.

[lilaznfan]

i don't think the lx is that bad it looks cool and good for texting. i have the sk 2008 and i like it

Like Maybelline Li said, it doesn't come with an alarm clark BUT what I figured out was if you click in the organizer section and click on the calender section, you can create a new event and set it to a time which is basically like an alarm clock (:

But honestly, I'm happy with it because the phone I had before (the razor) sucked for me x.x;;
It never caught reception in the places I needed it the most ._________.

urm it does look pretty but my friend who has it sold it off, saying its not worth the money....

I think the sidekick is handy well for people who text/ instant msg a lot.
I'm going to get the sidekick either this weekend or next weekend.
Getting the new sidekick not the LX or slide but it's code name is gekko. You can switch the covers of it and make personal ones. Just what I needed haha.

The was going to be my second choice as my phone if I didn't get my Tocco. I don't ask much from a phone, so as long as I can text comfortably, call, and take some pictures I'm satisfied. Of course as a human, I always want more It shouldn't be that bad. Basically, if you do get one, you have to get the sidekick plan for 6 months and then you should get a $50 rebate (the phone lady at mobile to mobile told me this) when the 6 months is over. It's not a bad idea to try it for six months, if you don't like call t-mobile ask to cancel the plan and see if you get a $50 rebate and sell the phone on eBay. It doesn't hurt to try the phone. I'm personally more fond of the of the Sidekick 2008. The LX is way to bulky for my liking. Now I sorta wished I got the sidekick 2008 ... lol

when i see a sidekick, i automatically think: textaholic.

[PDURRR]

nice to look at but crappy phone, is what i think lol

so would you guys recommend the sidekick only for txting/internet? i already have a phone plan with AT&T, but i want a sidekick with the data plan only [so i can txt/internet/whatever]. i'm thinking of getting the sidekick 2008, but not sure its worth the money. i can definitely pay $30 a month for the data plan, but i'm not sure if its worth it. basically i'll just be using it for txting/internet only and no calls [because that can be used for my phone]

and this is why two-way pagers should have never been pushed out of the market. could have easily made then internet ready with a few modifications to the initial design. those things used to kick ass.

another question, can you use the sidekick internet anywhere? like i'm riding on bus and i can just whip out my sidekick and use the internet? or is it only hot spots like those wireless laptops? does it get disconnected frequently or never?

im pretty sure you can use it anywhere.
i used my aunts at school and i used it at her new house, which doesnt even have the hotspot or stuff like that.
if it finds a network the it would use it. but the speed for internet varies.

do you guys think this junk is worth it for texting / internet only

IMHO I think that thing looks gaudy. So many people in my school has that phone, a lot of people and all my friends associate it the gangster phone.
My cousin had it, I felt like throwing it out the window. the internet sucked, was so slow. super slow you can use it on the road it will take a few good minutes for a page to load. It's good for texting though. Looks so awkward when I see someone putting it up against their ear.
My friend had it, wanted it really badly but then he sold it becuase he didn't like it at all and got bored.
But if your service is T Moblie and you are a heavy texter, then I would recommend the phone. Other than that, I would just say get a blackberry or a nicer looking phone with better features.
I guess its becuase I like phones that you can easily slip into the pocket, that my opinion is like this.

not worth it at all, psh internet? the internet is crap, so lets rephrase.

^ well i have a samsung blackjack from AT&T, but i canceled my internet which was like 40+ and the texting which was 20, but im being told i can do them both for 30, so i thought why not just use the 30 on sk, but it has different phone numbers n crap right? maybe i should get the samsung glyde...
