Good phone, Providing the battery and sim port work.
Phone owned for more than a year

I was a third owner of this phone. It was a pretty good phone. I didn't like that the internet browser didn't have tabs and the sucky quality of the apps. However, what's the most I was supposed to expect from a three year old phone? Anyways, for a while I liked it quite a bit. No T-9 word, the spell check was really nice, and I loved using the notes functions to write school papers on. Signal isn't the best as it is with some of the other phones I've owned from t-mobile, but it's a whole lot better than nothing. The camera is not the best. There's no editing options or self timer. Not even light settings (ex. sunny, cloudy, flourescent) However, you can rotate photos.The music player is great! It can play pretty much anything and it's all sorted out. Its also easy to load up, just drag and drop. You can even make playlists on it! There's shuffle and repeat functions too.I prefer it to an ipod anyday. However, after about half a year of owning this phone, the battery stopped holding a charge and it stopped reading my SIM card. :(

Great Features, But Terible Phone W/O Internet.
Phone owned for

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!
