Description:

The successor of the popular device offers pretty much – it is messaging device with a comfortable keypad and a nice improved landscape display. The new trackball (which is lighted in about ten colors) is sure a nice innovation used in the SideKick 3. It now features Bluetooth, miniSD slot for memory and music player.

Pretty good teen phone, but

21 Mar 2009 Jackie I.

7 out of 10

So I got the Sidekick 3 about 2 years ago. It has been a great phone. As a teenager (I'm almost 20 now), it is really one of the best phones I've ever had. I think this is a big teen phone but not really good for a businessman or just your average joe.


Overall, a pretty good phone in its time. It was the phone to have from 2006-2007 but now it's discontinued and is being surpassed with much nicer, sleeker, tech-better phones with touch screens and faster internet. I didn't like how it would blink GREEN all the timeeeee but it was cool that it would blink BLUE when I had a message/missed call.  I still love mine, but once my contract expires, I'm getting a nicer and easier phone to work with. This was my first T-mobile phone I had and I switched from my US Cellular plan to have this phone. I think it was worth it overall but I will be going back to US Cellular after it expires soon.





--Cool, sleek design

--Trackball is fun and it also lights up rainbow colors

--Internet is fairly decent, but probably considered a dinosaur compared to other smartphones now

--full keyboard is great and it's easy to type

--Love the full screen

--Easy to connect phone to computer to edit pictures, contacts, etc.

--The speaker in the phone could be louder

--The camera quality is terrible

--The MP3 is pretty useless

--Very hard to text while driving (have to use 2 hands)

--Dies fairly quickly (I usually have to charge every 1 1/2 days)

--Internet can't access youtube

--Limited ringtones, have to buy them and you can't get them through Bluetooth from other phones (like the RZR)

--Annoying when people play with your phone and flip it in and out over and over again.

--Kind of bulky

Terrible

I sincerely hate this phone. My old Samsung t629 broke a couple of months ago, couldnt receive any audio during phone calls. So I browse the internet, hey that sidekick looks real fancy. Spent 146 on ebay for one, was in perfect condition.

I absolutely hate it. It has reset over 4 times in the 6 weeks I've had it. No picture messaging, no alarm. I got so used to my "plain" phone that this "fancy" phone was ridiculously terrible. Don't spend your money, and dont bother being jealous of anybody who has a sidekick.
