    Default sidekick phone question

    Okay so im getting a friggin sidekick. I love my ex's to death. Apparently he's just as fond of it as I am ..considering he touches in the AM before he touches me lol

    Does anyone have one?

    I heard they suck as a phone...Am I better off getting another phone as well ( mine has seen better days. )

    Thanks!!!

    I love my sidekick I don't go anywhere without it.

    You can only hold the phone on the left side of your face because of the speaker position. And there will be times you may be in a hurry and you'll have to pause to look at the phone to be sure you're holding it correctly.

    Most of the time my reception is fine and I don't always have to repeat myself in conversation- but the complaints people have made are valid.

    When my contract runs out, more than likely I will get a separate phone for calls and keep the sidekick for internet/text on the go which it is very good at.

    Are you going to get the regular one or the juicy couture edition?

    No I meant which version are you getting? There are 3 of them out the original sidekick2, the Mister Cartoon edition and the Juicy Couture edition. I have the regular one, but I am thinking about buying the Juicy one because I'm such a label whore. :-(

    If you haven't seen them all go to sidekickstyle.com

    Either way enjoy your phone! I love mine.

    Happy new user of a Motorola Razr here. While it doesn't do more than my old phone (a Sony-Erricson i760), this model is a cool fashion statement. Plus--geeks get ready--there are hack sites on the Internet where one can learn how to access the phone's inner most operating system and make interesting adjustments. For intance, I switched out the annoying Cingular logo on the outer faceplate with an abstract image of my own choosing. If Cingular wants to use me as a walking billboard, they need to compensate me...

    I'm also thinking about getting a Sidekick.... I used to go to Sprint and had a lot of problems with them, so I want to switch to T-Mobile.... I really liked going on the internet on my Sprint phone, though. Is the internet service really good through T-mobile, and can you go on every website that you could go on if you were using a computer? I'd be lost without the internet and email on my phone.. lol

    The only sites I can't look at properly are the ones with flash. All sidekicks just got an over the air upgrade, before we couldn't look at javascript heavy sites, but now we can.

    As long as there is a good signal, the pages load very well. You also have an option of not viewing java or photos to have the page load even faster. Like when I'm on stripperweb using my phone (like now) I just see text....I prefer it that way when using the sidekick.

    I'm sure not every site can be viewed on here, and even if you could- being on a computer is better lol. I have to remind my friends that it is a phone- NOT a mini computer. But it has definetly served me well.

    If you are unsure, give it a try for 14 days, that should be sufficient time to test out all you sites you can't live without, if you don't like it....return it.

    you should really head over to danger's forum and read the post. Very userfriendly phone.

    I like it a lot, but I prefer internet on my computer and verizon's easily hackable phones provide just that....mmmmm high speed internet goodness at a low cost


    And it turns Miss D'Winter on....I mean is there any better?

    OMG, I've been going back and forth between wanting a SideKick and a Motorola ROKR (has I-tunes). Yeah, the RAZR is cool looking but it's nothing more than a skinny phone.

    Which ever I decide I'm getting the Swarovski crystal kit (off Ebay of course) and decorating my own bling on it

    If I don't get the juicy edition sidekick, when my contract is up- I'll just get an internet only plan with the sidekick and get one of those razr phones to make my calls with.

    LolaLee, I wish I had the patience to stick stones on my phone- but I don't. I found a few places that are cheaper than nypeach (who did Paris' and Lindsay Lohan's sidekick) but I can't stand being away from my phone for a whole week.

    Yes I have a problem.lol

    If you like the Razr, wait until you see Motorola's forthcoming L7. Images can be found online at . Or if you're hellbent for flips, the Razr upgrade model, v3i looks to be a stunner too.

    Oh and Mast is correct about the danger (company that makes the sidekick) website forum. Other than the annoying way some of the posters write- it has a huge amount of information.

    There are about 100 different games you can have on the phone, and I go to the forums to see what's good before I get it. But there are a lot of other things to learn about on there.

    Ok so I checked out the T-Mobile coverage map very closely, and it looks like I won't be getting my Sidekick. The coverage in the area that I live in is only roaming coverage. The regular coverage area ends about 20 miles south of where I live. They forgot about us little people in the north. Now I am sad.

    I have a sidekick and love it. The phone works fine. At first i only used it for data and had a separate phone for voice. Now i just use the sidekick. I also had the sk I and upgraded to the SK II right when it came out.

    The only major con is the size but that is the trade off for a large full keyboard. I sometimes type full page emails on it.
    The AOL IM feature is just like your computer version. I love it.
    They also just came out with the PINK SK for all you ladies and the Black SK for the guys. It's $100 more than the plain one. Also check out www.nycpeach.com. This is the girl that blings out the SK for paris hilton. I've gotten to know her over the year and it really a great girl.

    Ask me any question you may have. Also buying it online is always going to be at least $50 cheaper. Please check out my online store at www.pocketlouge.com

    LolaLee I got my sidekick in nyc, then I went to a state that doesn't have tmobile at all and it worked just fine. I know there are no roaming charges for the internet and stuff. The phone part-- I'm not sure.
    My ex paid the bill and he never complained about it being high. I don't know about roaming charges honestly. Perhaps you should ask.

    most likely no roaming charges. Most nation wide plans do not charge roaming.
