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.

Sidekick 2008...much better than Sidekick iD

29 Oct 2008 KateyK

8.3 out of 10

I got the new Sidekick 2008 two weeks ago and I have to say, I am really pleased. I liked having a Sidekick before, but I wasn't very pleased with the iD that I bought last November. The 2008's camera isn't awesome, but it's doable, and I always have my digital with me anyway. I like the music player option on the new one as well, and basically everything else is the same on this one, with a few cosmetic details. Another thing that is good is that you can have POP/IMAP mail in addition to the tmail.com address that you choose when signing up, instead of only being able to use tmail only. The D-pad seems more responsive on this one, as well. The Sidekick will always be one of, if not my absolute favorite for its full QWERTY keyboard that isn't crammed all together, like on a Blackberry. The operating system is the same, if not slightly upgraded. I wish the internet was faster though, but what can you do? Still waiting for 3G to roll around...any day now...and when that happens my qualms will be obsolete.





Full QWERTY keyboard
Stereo Bluetooth
Comes with 256gb microSD card

POP/IMAP mail
slooooooow internet...but that's EDGE's fault, not Hiptop/Sidekick
Battery life not stellar, but it has a lot of features to run

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
