  • 08 or comeback?

  • they sell them online :) for about as little $50 or $60 which is really good I know certain local stores might but they sell them over priced mostly just not at mass-retailers like t-mobile and stuff hope it helps :) and an 08 is basically a better version of the lx and the same thing as an lx 09 with the exception of a few minor things but thats it .
  • i think the dude's color blind

  • i would rather get the 08 alll the way instead of the lx but they dont sell o8 anymoreee!:(

  • That's the jump key, the menu key is on the top left. See how that works? LAwlzz

  • someone PLEASE REPLY.

    ok i want to get a sidekick but i want to keep the same sim card. so basically when i get my sidekick i just wanna put my normal sim card in there so i dont have to buy a separate plan and just switch phones. how do i do it?

  • you got to be pro

  • Im pretty sure you have to go to the store for that... its easier

  • all you have to do is activate a sidekick plan for the number you want and then just put it in and it should work

  • I really want a sidekick but the menue look horrible compared to some of the other phones ive had

  • you say thats a green phone?

    im sorry but thats gold

  • that was a great review thank you so much

  • Will this phone work in Australia if i buy it unlocked?

  • all sidekicks can be used prepaid. u just have to pay full price!

  • how much money is it and where can i find it and is it a pay as you go?

  • it is not pay as you go

  • OMG i want of these soooo bad! my friend has the slide and it sucks ass. and i don't care wat anyone says it looks wayy better than the lx

  • actually in my school most of the guys have the 2008s and most of the girls have lx's.

  • lol at my school almost EVERYONE, including girls and guys have the slide. alot of people have the blue one.

    but then again, i live in Australia so we dont yet have the LX or 2008. But we are getting the LX in november

  • I love the shells they serve as the phones guard like it the botton/corners of phone sit knicks or scratched just switch shells lol just ordered mine off ebay no contract 200.00 ima post a review this week look out!

  • I have a question, i have this phone but in my inbox even when i add peoples numbers it shows up as just there numbers and not there names, untill i reply. Is there anyway to make it work??

  • I notice that most sidekicks are owned by girls is that true that sidekicks are for girls?

  • Who cares? As long as you have a phone, there shouldn't be anything to complain about.

    Lawl.

  • naw its not just for girls. in my school theres a ton of dudes including myself that have a sidekick.

  • no alot of my female friends have sidekicks mostly 08s and alot of my male friends have sidekicks mostly LXs

  • nahh not in my skewl everyone has dha 08

  • guys... itz a honkin big peice of fone lol

  • I'm dieing to get one soooooooooooo badly but my mom says i can only get sprint service!!! is there anything similar to the sidekick by sprint?

  • Rumor? Rant?Lotus?

  • i have a lg rumour i like its keypad

  • lg rumor or or samsung rant

  • why dont uget a blackberry curve. this phone has pretty much the same features as the sidekick 08. i'll recommend this phone. ^_^

  • Cool phone! does that look gold to the rest of ye though? i'm pretty sure i'm not colour blind!

  • they forgot to mention this one has video, one thing every SK user has been waiting for.

  • lx has video too...

  • no the lx doesn't, my best friend owns it and i'm about to purchase one.

  • oh well excuse me...i own it and i do in fact have a video camera and i put a video on my kick so....

  • yes it does cuhz i own a lx.

  • LX Tony Hawk edition captures video. The original LX does not capture.

  • yes it does, the lx got ota or ots update and it can do the same thing as the 08 and the tony hawk lx

  • yooo they updated the lx likee 7 months agoo so now the 08 nn the lx aree da same but the 08 has a 2 megapixel camera and the lx has a betaa screen

  • how much does it cost?

  • mm without getting a plan or watherver with t.mobile it cost me $3oo

  • do they have these phone in canada

  • Ok this shows how stupid and biased the reviewers are against Sidekicks. This fucking idiot called the Jump Button, the "MyFaves" Button. That button has been there long before MyFaves. It's so obvious he didn't even take the time to use the phone very long or even cared. He just wanted to go back to his gay ass iPhone. Whack.

  • Supposed to turn the phone off before taking the shell off, dumb-ass.

  • Yes the best phone: 2.0Mega Pixel

    Faster then the rest. & before you turn it on give it a minute to load up! Or else it will freeze

  • when i go on youtube i can't see vids cause i don't have flash and i don't know how to get flash on a sidekick!

  • how come there is two videos of the sidekick 2008 for phonescoop?

  • Does the sidekick have a good speaker? Please reply.

  • for talking no, but the over all it's pretty loud

  • The only sidekick with a good speaker is the slide

  • i have the sk 08 for like 3 months now but i still want to know if it has a built in calculator.. can some one please tell me! aim me @ chonkiiee

    msn me @ honeybunn08

    yahoo @ drop_dead_gorgeousz

    thank you

  • no it doesnt but u can download it for free

  • If the sidekick had a touchscreen, with a better browser, but keep the same features it has now, it would be the sickest phone ever, plus they have good service plans, att and verizon plans sucks azz no lie lol

  • i actually like the look of it, the other sidekicks looked too round

  • HONKIN BIG PIECE OF PHONE lmfao!

  • its almost the same size of the iphone will you lay it nest to it.

  • omgwtfbbqzzzz everyone says its green but it looks yellow on the computer someone tell me which 1

  • That is the actual color on your screen, I saw it in real life and it looks like it glows yellow and green at the same time.

  • yellow with a dab of green so yea yellow

  • if u think about it the sk is like the sklx's lil brotha lol

  • every sidekick has had the catalog lol get your facts str8. and for who ever is thinking about getting a sk think about it lyk 20 tymz they really sux at times. i have a 3 and it kept freezing and omg it just wasnt worth the 300 dollars i paid 4 it

  • Think about your spelling lyk 20 tymz because it drives me fucking crazy. It is not hard to type like a normal, civilized human being.

  • fuck u i type how i fucking want to type. go run into a busy street

  • But if you want respect you'll type like you passed 3rd grade. But I do agree with your feelings on sidekicks. My sisters' freezes alot.

  • the bottom left button is the jump button, not a myfaves button. asshole.

  • Wow, you're a douche

  • this dude is crazy. the phone is THAT big!? geez. if you can handle the iphone or the instinct or the VOYAGER u can handle the sk.

  • should i get this or the lx because the lx looks nicer but i still don't know which one to get...??????

  • now it doesnt matter wich one you get cuz the lx got the same thing cuz of the ota upgradesz

  • want a slightly better camera, a bit faster speed, serious customization, smaller and "phone looking", and cheaper, and ofcourse the video that is already intergrated in it...the sk08 is the way to go. downside (if you would consider it a downside) is the fact the screen and keyboard are a wee bit smaller than the LX. both are great phones though it just depends on your preference! i'm getting the sk08 can't wait!

  • get the 08 its a mitxture of the id sk and the sk lx

  • Doesn't It Say TO Turn Off Your Phone

    B4 You Change Shells..

    Oh Yeah I Guess No One Cares Lol..

  • tht green is very ugly but the black is cool

  • Does this phone have wi-fi capability? I'm looking for a phone with wifi.

  • iPhone or wait for the US release of the SE Xperia1

  • I have a T-Mobile Dash, and now I want a Sidekick. UGHHHHHHh

  • that thing neeeeeeeds to be touch screen

  • yea... the next sidekick they make BETTER be because all the phones now-a-days ARE touch screens

  • I cannot say I like the new Sidekick keyboards. I don't really like Sidekick's anymore, but the keyboards on the LX and 2008, are just dead and lack any feedback at all, surprisingly, you still type very fast and accurately...

  • dont really give a shit im still gettin it cause not every one will like it i got a blue tooth head set so i just need its keyboard

  • I know 5 people who have had this phone. 3 of theirs already broke.

  • what the hell we're they doing?!!? playing kickball with it!?!

  • lol. No, the hinge broke.

  • This phone look wack as hell! I hate my LX, but it look much better than this piece of shit. This phone is wayyyyy too small! Yucky, I hate it!

  • I bought the 2008 sidekick cause of all the hype and then I returned to my LX...the new 2008 sidekick looks like a chick phone, only diff is that its smaller than the Lx aside from that everything is the same!!! LX IS BETTER!

  • this phone is cheap and its a toy.. get the LX everyone

  • go shoot urself

    da 2008 makes da lx look lik garbage

    this has the lx upgrades already on it where as if u buy a lx now ud have to wait for ur updates

    and also the 2008 is alot cheaper wit betta screen quality since its smaller

  • actually i just got a new LX, and it came with the upgrade installed. haha

  • NObody fuckin cares, Stop Hating on the new 1 cuz you have the older 1.

  • i have 1 and ive had the lx also and this thing makes my old lx look like shit

  • This guy is retarted. Theres is no "fave fives" button its a flippin shortcut key, and all sidekicks have the download catalog, and The sidekick" gekko" has video enabled and playback features and its 100 dollar cheaper than the Lx

  • hey do u know any trickes on the new sidekick 2008

  • how is that green
