T-Mobile Sidekick 3 Review

[ukgal9]

to birdgeekguy - this review is from 2008 - EDGE was important then

[Imranrulezz]

@ukgal9 Ever heard of pressing the reply button? noob.

[freakylocz14]

@ukgal9 3G came out around 2006-2007.

[birdgeekguy]

how on earth is EDGE an important feature!?!

[russellmaniaaaa]

I remember freshman year of high school when I got my sidekick 3. I still have mine today and it still works. Keeping it for the memories haha.

[TheJokerfan95]

are phone calls included and if so how would one make or accept a call?

[partyytigerr]

I always liked this phone, if the camera was better then i would have it now

[sg712]

are sidekicks smartphones



[puppyrootbeer]

I remember this phone!

[baconluver1158]

the sidekick 2008 is SOOOOOOOOOO much better its less curvy and you can change the color and it is smaller

[TheFifiTv]

I didint no it could have slide like that lol..................But i was going to buy onw of this but the blackberry curve 8520 is better

[supermanxevan]

@leviandwalmarts haha everytime i look at my motorola razr i feel the same way

[flygon1234100]

some of the sidekicks aint that bad. i have the sidekick slide and its not bad but u can get bored with it if your a teenager but kids might not. sidekicks are great for moms that just want their kids too just talk and text on a prepaid plan. im getting the sidekick 2008 and it better come or ill kill the mail man when he comes late!!LOL

[baba123403]

i think this is better than the orignal sidekick

[gtrudebaii7]

this is old

[angelistic12]

my Side Kick lx 2009 is wayy sexiier<3

[freemanma]

looking at this now I cant believe i paid that much for this phone when it came out smh

[fairladyz32TT]

this is when sidekick was @ its peak

[HellsKitchenGirl03]

does the sidekick works in europe?

[dominicvonteese]

@HellsKitchenGirl03 Yes if it is UNLOCKED.

[skfeen12345678]

I loved this phone!!! I miss it and I have an iPhone 3G!!!! I just loved everything about my sidekick 3!

[NintendoDrunkie]

I absolutely HATE this phone. I had it once, and wanted to kill it. It constantly felt the need to remind me that I didn't have a web plan, and a few times, it automaticly hit and SOS program that called the police. Fuck the Sidekick.

[aceofclubskid]

@you893 y?

[0neofthem]

get the sidekick if you like using a piece of shit.

[awbiscuts224]

Dont like it.

[lolzer300]

[alexislove20]

[spongebobguitarman]

@naruto121099 yah defff i have it and love it

[JDzer0]

I have this phone. It can do alot of things lol. But All i have to say is it breaks and cracks easily. Alot of it is plastic so yeah. And like she mentioned. The sickick 3 the camera has bad quality. and it cant record. btw , Your contacts will get erased. MAKE SURE TO COPY THEM TO YOUR SIM CARD. Thumbs up please? xD

[chrisahoo584]

I like the older sidekicks because the keyboard on the newer ones aren't that comfortable to me.

[imdevill]

[g5ArabmoneyakaSplash]

I got the Sidekick 3 D-Wade, It looks better than this sk3 but the function is stil the same.

This phone is great for quick chat, texting, and of course email. As far as the calling is concerned I don't mind the odd shape of the phone when talking on it. Other than that the phone is great and I would still recommend it after two, three years.

[belbee12]

im confused which 1 do i get plzz email me

[ASDFGHJKATHERYN]

[MrSmall422]

shes cute

[amm964]

i got mine for 10 bucks lol

[Lauu18]

I saw the phone the first time @ Veronica Mars.

But in Germany, it´s not very popular and difficult to buy. It´s really rare and i hate it so much, because i love the phone 4 ever.

[XaliciaXMX]

can u get a sidekick if you live in montreal?

theres no t-mobile in montreal tho.

[xCherryKiss]

Buy it on Kijiji Montreal !

[ZacKoons]

im on AT@T, and i was wondering if i can use this phone, if i just put my SIM card in. please write back. please!

[PUPUSAKING]

Hey ZacKoons! you cannot use this phone for AT&T, But There are some that are unlocked to be used for both I just bought one unlocked and it works great but the web browser may not work on the AT&T 3G Network.

[vinh32y]

funny thing is alot of people have the 08 an lx and i still have a 3 lol

[XaliciaXMX]

I rly don't get how this is a phone if u can't call ppl on it.

I was gonna get it but like... theres no point,

k its cool but y would u get it if u cant call?

[latinabarbie1707]

who said you cant call on it?? i've had my sidekick for 3 years now - of COURSE you can make calls on it! she just didnt mention the points of it being a phone to call on too, and only brought up the other features, i loved my sidekick, which is why i had it for so long.

I officially retired it though, yesterday, and got a G1. Still love the hiptop though.

[HxcAznKid]

you can call people. all you do is flip it open then start typing the number

[thathappykid1]

they said smalller buttons were easier to use?

[XaliciaXMX]

can you call people on this phone??

[thathappykid1]

nooooooooo.......

[gamerfreek2]

sidekicks are chick phones, look who is telling you about it =/

[davidclaudiu2]

Does it have wi-fi?

[nicevid1234]

No :(

[oxoemoliciousoxo]

does this work in pakistan ? =D

[19yooh93]

Yeea Me Too. I Had To Get One Off Ebay, Cos They Dont Sell Them Where I Live :(

Still Waiting For It To Be Shipped Half Way Across The World :) Even Though Its Only Been A Day.

Im Sooo Ampd!!

[jellylegs96]

where u from????

[19yooh93]

New Zealand

[FLuuse93]

I bought one on eBay last Wednesday & I'm still waiting for it to arrive. I'm like... all hyper everytime I think about it. For everyone who still wants the SK3 [& maybe, like me, hasn't got enough money for the new one] should consider buying it on eBay. I payed about 150$.

[googles345]

love that phone, but i have the 08.

[DangerouslySexyLash]

tht is very cheat for a sidekick phone

[DangerouslySexyLash]

is this phone easy to use cause i like it

[mdr0339]

fuck this phone. i have it right now for two years next month. it breaks easily and my screen light went out after 13 months.

[DangerouslySexyLash]

don't you expect the sidekick 3 to break very easily you can just look at it and see it is light

[BaseballChic12198]

hold on my friend told me that the like screen works as a slide and like the lx so like if u wanted to text u can push the screean thingy up like the sidekick slide or jst flip it kinda like a circle

i rlly wanna kno because i have either the choice to get another new sidekick or the g1 phone

does any body have any ideas which phone would probably be better for a 13 year old to have?

[darwincollins]

This phone came out in July 2006. Personally, I like the keyboard alittle less than the sk2, but, I did get used to it. If your main goal is email, quick chats, quick texting, via its keyboard, then it would probably work great for you. On the battery side, you will need to plug it in every night. Browser is weak, minimal and slow. It is like talking to a bar of soap, but no big deal.

[TheMusicMan092591]

That was back then how musch do they cost right now.

[DangerouslySexyLash]

i hope the it cost less now i want one

[FlySK3]

I think they should've kept the SK3 keyboard.

I prefer that kind of keyboard rather than the new one.

But its alright tho.

BTW, everyone should definitely pick up the SKLX 09.

Its doooope.

[retartedpineapple123]

really? i like the one on the LX09 alot :p

[laffykaffy23]

Ebay. They dont sell them in stores anymore.

[PhillipsAcademy]

Idc I know the LX and the 08 is out. I just boguht a sidekick 3. Ebay for $90.

[BlackPheonix81]

Guys I know this is old compared to the LX or 08 Version, But is it still a good phone? Im not really bothered about looks. I just need a phone which will allow me to text fast and still phone people. Im looking to spend about £100 to £150. And on ebay these things sell from like £90 to £120, So would you say this is worth it? I heard the only difference between the 08 Is the screen and the camera...

[Zacks95]

yeah, i just bought one on ebay for $105.00

[Bronzdog]

late i have a 08

[MafiaGN260]

This phone isn't sold here in Norway but i'd like to order it on Ebay. Is it gonna work here? Plz help.
