Description:

T-Mobile Sidekick has the typical for the series design language but comes with smaller dimensions and respectively screen (2.6” instead of 3”) which nevertheless, is still with WQVGA resolution. Other features include Stereo Bluetooth support, 2-megapixel camera with video recording capability and a microSD slot. The most interesting one though, is the option to use colorful shells, to change the way the device looks.

So I definately just traded in my (horrbile) sidekick slide in for this awesome 2008. I'm in love. This is definately the best sidekick thus far (even better than the lx (which I also had)). It's small, tres chic, and very user friendly. It is fun to play with and great for messaging. Great for the teenieboppers we all are at heart. I'd recommend this to anyone because it's just that great.





tres chic design, great for messaging, battery life, and best sidekick thus far
speakerphone isn't all that great and the internet could be a bit better

You call THIS a Sidekick?

Apart from the fact that this phone is simply "Sidekick" in form and feature, I would say that the LX trumps this phone.  The screen is smaller on this device than the LX, and the LX update is now out to most LX users so you still get all of the same features if at a little steeper price.



This phone has reported reception issues, and a few screen defects that when the swivel is used the phone will power off, although it seems this has only affected a few users.  Upon actually seeing one of the devices, look at feel is a Sidekick 3 and a Sidekick LX put together, with a touch of Sidekick iD.  Overall, decent phone, and with updates could DEFINITELY improve, but for now I'll stick with my Hawk LX.
