It's 2011 and I still want this phone! I always wanted a sidekick and I never got one and I still do want one.

[rockboy790]

I don't think that was a real unboxing becuz the battery was not in there

[Axmurdera3993]

you didnt unbox it cause the battery was already in the phone

[nychick1023]

[Spetsnaz1220]

2008 all the way, lx is way too big. i wouldnt deel comfortable with that near my ear. and it cant record video.

[ScouterKhan]

agree with Spetsnaz1220

[altaf5035]

ok. i already have a family plan with tmobile. and im planning to get a sidekick with the $20 plan. all i want to do is get the phone and switch my old phone sim card and put it in the sidekick. for that do i still have to pay $99? or a higher price? or do i have to get a whole separate connection (by that i mean like individual.. or family plan) because i dont want to get a new connection cuz i already have one. PLEASE REPLY SOON!

[Stelize034]

the 29th of july when this video was on youtube, IT WAS MY B-DAY!!! YA ME!!!

[TekuJJ]

my birthday is in july 22

[Fr3shPrince09]

BboyAcguy1991 << is right but if u do sign the contract for example u sign a contract thats saying ur with t-mobile it cmes out cheaper the price would for it would be 149.99 i think or 99.99 is what i see on t-mobile site

[xPEACExLOVExPINKx]

damn i wish the phone was available in canada :(

[361razzbery]

I got a question...do you have to sign a contract?

[BboyAcguy1991]

You don't have to sign a contract, you can buy it Prepaid at a local  T-Mobile store, but you'll have to pay the full retail price which is $299.99 .

[KatieEmmie11]

how can it be 300 dollars if online it says 99.99?

[BboyAcguy1991]

It's $99.99 with a Contract, but you can buy it pre-paid for the full retail price which is $299.99 . If you buy it prepaid you don't need a credit card, you only need to buy refill cards once in a 90 day period.

[cutie6th]

thats a cool phone

[jdubz36]

Hi,

I will be recieving my sidekick 2008 tomorrow and I would like to know if another sim card is inserted in the phone (since its used) will I have to register the phone again? Or sidekicks only have to be registered once?

Thanks

[yournameinlights]

do these work in england?

[chrisnjackproduction]

yes

[littlelala2354]

my ony problem with the phone is that the keyboard is a little stiff. thats about it though.

[jdubz36]

I have a spare prepaid sim card that is not activated yet, though when I recieve my sidekick i would like to activate it and I would use the 10 bonus minutes that it comes with when you activate it, so I'm going to put it in my sidekick and download ringtones since the sidekick cant get custom ringtones. Then when I put in my normal/everyday sim card with a contract, will I still have the ringtones that I purchased from the prepaid sim card on the phone or will it be removed from the phone?

[bcblls]

if they are saved to the phone you will still have them no matter what, if they are saved on the sim card they will be removed, so make sure you save them to the phone.

[jdubz36]

K. Thanks alot, I have been searching for days for this answer. You helped me alot. Oh and will it damage the phone if i put a prepaid sim card in then a contract card in?

[bcblls]

no problem, not at all i did that when i had t-mobile back in the day so you can make any contract t-mobile phone into a prepaid phone if you have the prepaid sim card, visa versa

[vinh32y]

im relieved now i don't have to pay activation cuz im ordering online

[cwpsk8team4life]

about

[vinh32y]

im getting a new phone online and i want this phone. i want texting with it but not internet,but there only a messaging and internet service. i just want texting can anybody help?

[krazyen]

[williamhxc]

not to my knowledge.

[firearrow223]

yes you can buy them at a t-mobile store but they have limited kinds there only the basic ones but they are still pretty cool i guess

[D0P3b0YfR3Sh336]

This dont bring sum things the LX did like the carrying case and like sum stuff about this is gay like it has no strap and the screen is smaller the only cool thing is the shells and dahs about it but it still has what the LX upgrade ahd so its rarely nothing new

[wpolk248yall]

the thing is though with its new upgrades, customizable shells, and its cheaper then LX price its better

[raclip02]

It is not better because it is made out of cheaper material, however for 150 it's a good price.

[williamhxc]
