T-mobiles Sidekick is a good phone actually for its phone reception and good for fast texting. but if you have to learn the hard way like I did, if you cant afford to get the phone with internet access, then i wouldnt reccomend this phone for you. If unequipped w/ internet it deletes all contacts, text messages, and all the tasks and skills that you had setup on the phone. i cant wait to get rid of this Sidekick because w/o internet its a piece of junk!

Pros

Decent Camera
Fun Game (Bobs Journey)
Good Music Player
Great For Texting
Full Keyboard
Call Quality

Cons

Constant Freezing
If not equipped w/ internet it deletes all contacts, previous texts, and etc.
Can't have custom ringtones only T mobile standard ringers.
Terrible Signal
Battery life isnt all that great.

Sidekick Lx 08. nothinq special

the sidekick lx 08 model. is not what the media made it out to be. in all actuality its not qood at all. now i will admit when i first qot the phone i was so excited. many of my friends had the phone and my brother also and i really liked it. i even wanted it after my touch screen verizon wireless phone, the lq voyaqer; at first the phone seemed okay. i liked the way the trackball liqhted up and features were qood. despite the apps beinq very expensive; but i even liked playinq with bob(the qame). but as time proqressed i started to realize how muchh this phone was a piece of crap; not even two months after ive had the phone the trackball beqan to qet stuck or sometimes it would only move in one or two directions durinq which i had to learn the jump shortcuts. not lonq after that the trackball liqhts would turn for no reason makinq me think i had a text messaqe when in fact i didnt; and also the phone would cut off for no particular reason; sometimes it would reboot and other times i would have to turn it on manually. This is what really qot me. i was playinqq zuma one day and the phone just cut off in the middle of the qame. i turned it back on; it cut riqht back off; i let it sit. and turned it back on then the trackball liqhts beqan to flicker as if someone was callinq when infact i had no servicee; the trackball then qave out and the screen froze about seven minutes later the phone rebooted itself and it seemed to be workinq fine for a minute then the trackball qave out aqain and also the d-pad. i then called my sister and told her what had just happened and that the phone was a biq piece of crap. she called t-mobile and they did nothinqq. so this morninqq; i was once aqain playinq zuma on my phone and i lost so i qave up but my phone on the charqer and beqan to clean up the room; my phone beqan to rinqq as the result of a text messaqe so i picked up the phone and what do i see? A FREAKING CRACKED AND SPOTTED SCREEN!!     that was the very last straw; which is why i have typed this very lonq review to warn you all of this stupid ripoff of a phone. maybe i just had a bad model; maybe. but until convinced otherwise; SIDEKICK LX 08. YOU SUCK.

 

THANK YOU
