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 .
hey could u go on youtube with this phone because on my samsung t459 model i could go on it but i cant not watch videos i was wonderinig if the sidekick lx lets u watch then cuz im about to get one?
hey u guys i got this phone yesterday when i first got the phone and got a text it said new message but now its like on mute when i get a message can u help me by sending me a message plz
i live in the uk and have liked sidekicks for a while know .if i bought one in the states when i go this year do u think it would work in the uk when i bring it back.
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?
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??
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.
Is anyone selling a new/never been opened 2008sidekick that has a SIM slot (where you can put your SIM card[s] ) the SIM card doesn't need to by provided??? And if you do (Not necessery but if possible) , have any accessories for the 2008 Sidekick??
yea this phone has a hardware issue and i have to get a new one because of it and it sucks if it starts freezing then you know it has the defect and don't drop it it will cause it also.
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
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
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!
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...
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 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
