The Sidekick 2008 is a much better cell phone that the previous versions of the Sidekick such as the regular Slider LX & ID. It's got quite a few improved features like a 2.0-megapixel camera, a nice 2.6-inch display, video recording/playback, stereo Bluetooth. It is smaller, measuring 4.7 x 2.3 x 0.7 inches and it also comes with much more things on it. The Sidekick 2008 has applications like email, instant messaging, picture messaging & video messaging. It has a standard trackball on the right hand side for scrolling and it also buttons for shortcuts & commands that you can assign. The call quality is actually pretty good—you can hear loud and clear with minimal background noise/static...it does not take great photos or video but I guess it is something we could live with. There are a lot of available Applications, Ringtones, Themes, Games etc available to download. Prices vary, but they are affordable. If you want to take advantage of the full potential of this phone, (Web Browsing, Email, IM's, new themes & wallpapers, ringtones, and other applications) you will need the optional Data Service Plan which T-Mobile offers. (Unlimited web access with 400 text messages is about 24.99, Unlimited web access with unlimited text messages is about 34.99) *Prices may vary in your area. Prices are just estimates ONLY. **The keyboard makes a chicklety sound when you text but you will soon get used to it. It's not that bad thou. However the Keys are far enough apart for ease in texting. ***One thing I found inconvienent is when you are on a call (let's say to one of those dreadful automated systems which ask you questions and in saying to press 1 for yes, 2 for no, yadda yadda), if the flip slider is closed shut, (which is more comfortable) You have to flip it open each time to use the QWERT/numeric pad to press the numbers, then flip it closed again. What a pain!! Overall, I give this phone a 8 or 8.5 out of 10.Read full review
For those people who would like luxury of having a Sidekick, but don't want to spend hundreds of dollars on it, this is the phone for them. It has all the basic functions you would expect from a Sidekick like web browsing, a keyboard that's great for texting, and AOL Instant Messenger, without the hassles of paying $100's of dollars. Although it might not be as advanced as the Sidekick 2 and the Sidekick 3, it's still a great phone. From a design perspective, the phone's most innovative feature is its rotating screen, which swivels 180 degrees to reveal what is arguably one of the most tactile and roomy minikeyboard on the market. Four main controls, one of which is a transparent scrollwheel that flashes a different color based on the type of alert, are well placed around the screen and within easy reach of your thumbs. The Sidekick is loaded with tons of features. It comes with its own e-mail address, and you can add up to three accounts. But, since it's geared toward consumers rather than corporate users, you can't get your company e-mail just yet. The monochrome Sidekick lacked support for AOL Mail, but this version includes a quick link to a Web-based solution. This Sidekick is equipped with double the memory og the original: 32MB of RAM and 4MB of flash-upgradable ROM (2,000 contacts and 50 notes). That should satisfy most users, but there's still no expansion slot, so you'll have to closely manage the e-mail attachments you receive. As with the original, you can open and read Word, PDF, and JPEG files, and you now can play MIDI and WAV attachments and cut and paste from messages. The Sidekick has an improved Web browser and AOL Instant Messenger. Using the browser, you can navigate forward and backward through pages, while all AOL Instant Messenger conversations are saved if you get disconnected. You also get the standard phone features; a call log; two-way SMS messaging; a decent game (the Asteroids-like Rock & Rocket); and such organizer features as a contact list, a calendar, a to-do list, and notes. There's support for MIDI ring tones (12 songs and 7 chimes are included), and through a partnership with Sony Music, you can download HiFi music tracks as ring tones. You can import contacts from a SIM card and dial their numbers directly from your address book with the click of a button. One nice thing about the Sidekick is that its Internet access is always on--as long as you aren't using the phone. If you do make or receive a call while surfing, you'll be disconnected from the Internet. After the call, the Sidekick automatically logs back on to the Web, a process that can take up to 30 seconds. You also can use the Catalog feature to download more ring tones, games, and applications, and you can access data on your Sidekick from any computer via T-Mobile's Web site. It also has an optional camera attachment which takes 320x240 pixel-shots. It might not be of superb quality, but it's great for those who want to take pictures with the device. All in all, It has everything a busy person or somebody with a massive amount of friends needs. I loved the AIM and Internet connection and used it daily. The phone experience exceeded what I thought it would. With the volume up its pretty loud and clear for being on T-mobile service. Speakerphone would have made a nice addition but I have noticed in semi quite environments you can put the volume on full and hear some louder callers quite well without holding it to your face.Read full review
This a review for T-Mobile's myTouch 3G Slide by HTC. It is a nice middle of the line Android phone. You cannot compare the screen estate or raw crunching power to the top of the line Androids, but neither are you paying the premium price with this. Nice things about it are that T-Mobile has promised to update it to the latest 2.2 version this year, although the 2.1 isn't bad either. And the HTC's Sense UI is actually very responsive. The keyboard is very nice keyboard too, a great improvement from the old G1's keyboard, but not quite at G2's level. The screen is bright and easy to read in the sunlight too. Although it does get greasy quite easily. I don't know how they manage to resist that in the iPhones, but they do it better. Albeit being a capasitive touch screen, its still not in par with the iPhone's, but well above any resistive screens I've tried. The camera is 5 Mpix autofocus with LED-light. It tends to overexpose a bit, which can be compensated manually though. The camera also shoots video at VGA resolution, 30 fps. It has the mandatory three buttons and a genius-button at the front, as well as a touch sensitive navigation butoon also, which I find mostly annoying. Naturally it has the volume-rocker and a dedicated camera button. Latter of which the iPhone is still missing. Unlike early myTouch's this does have a regular 3.5 mm audio jack again, and you charge/connect to computer it through a microUSB. Like all Androids you have to be carefull what apps you install, as most of them seem to be done by pimple-faced teens who have no knowledge in proper program design. And as such these apps will hung your Android phone usually sooner than later, or simply just make it act funny. But with good quality apps designed and produced by professional crew, the phone is solid and responsive with the Android 2.1. One gripe I do have about it though is the poor battery management. You have to keep on switching the Wifi, Bluetooth, GPS, 3G and syncing on and off manually to make it through a busy work day. This is something the iPhone has done so much better for years! I do hope that 2.2 will bring some sense into this too. All in all I can recommend this phone as a reasonably priced Android phone. It does everything a high-end phone does at fraction of the cost. And best of all being a late model, it's supported by T-Mobile.Read full review
, ok I bough tthis phone as a back up, the phone itself works fine, the messagiung features needs work, they do not display individual conversations, there is just a big list. the web browser is a joke, you would need to get opera mini instead for a better online experiance, the connectiviy to the internet is not that slow but it could be faster, coupled by the fact that this phoine does not have wifi or 3g makes the browsing the internet less than fun. the cable that connects the screen to the phone wears out and in my opinion should have been addressed in earlier models however it still wears out and is very common...the phone is smaller than an lx and the screen is where you feel it.. the screen size on the lx is bigger , but this one came with an app for facebook, not sure if I can download apps or not but , if they gutted this phone, added a much larger touch screen, have it slide out instead of flip out and turned it into an adroid platform phone, gave it some internal memory upgradeable to 60 gig , added wifi and 3g, put a 2300mah batter (something no one else does on messaging phones or pda's it would be a force to be recconed with..Read full review
I really really like the Sidekick Slide- I am a big texter and the phone is great for texting and makes it easy and convienient. The camera isnt all that great at all and I will probably never ever use it- and it doesn't have an alarm clock or calculator. I dont know how or why (even the most basic of phones have an alarm clock!) but it does not. I like the features it comes with but to deal with ringtones and wallpapers- I had to buy a memory card. I didnt know this and for the longest time, I could not figure out why I couldnt download ringtones. All in all- I am very happy with my purchase and hope to take good care of this phone for awhile.
