[LeeeChanel]

I like how the 2008 is a little bigger than the slide, and a little smaller than the LX c: Getting mine tomorrow!!

[KingofPhilly2223]

I hope they have an update where u can take longer vids

[Kyle8Dude]

[KingofPhilly2223]

[playa220022]

[yawtriwkyaw]

Get the lx, Yesterday all of the lx users recieved a free update to the phone wich included these : More picture room, VIDEO RECORDING better playing mp3 player, aim and the other instant messagin have been updated, basicaly everything is better

[person71591]

except the camera, size,lack of customization, and the fact that you have to upgrade as oppose to already having those features like the 2008 does.

[chonkiiee08]

the lx might cost more but tmoblie knows what they doing. the shells aren't all that cheap! so think about it..

[UAINTR3ADY]

DOES IT RECORD??? REPLY 2 ME!

[lieth625]

as videos yes its way better than lx im getting a 2008 u can change shells and its so good

[itspascalesilly]

get the lx. the screen isnt all as off center,

and gross looing as the 2008.

the lx has a bigger screen, and can do EVERYTHING

the 2008 can do, but in a better fasion,

in my opinion.

get the lx.

[niorge99]

yu suck shut up yu suck

[itspascalesilly]

hmm motherfucker understand that i said "in my opinion"

i can see you disagree with what i support,

but that doesn't automatically mean your opinion dominates mine,

especially when you didnt back up what you believe in.

YOU WOULD HELP ALOT:]

[iJeDi95]

can u get this phone prepaid

[d4rkd1sc1ple]

yea but it costs a lot more

[DMiiLSz]

a LX is way better cuz it also gets the update plus bigger screen n all tet n it looks better and it cost more

[ObsessedPlastic]

the lx gets the update, yet that doesn't change the fact that the camera is still 1.3MP. the quality of pictures and video on it is still pretty bad. the sound quality on the 08 is better, the 08 has updated web browsing, the display is much sharper, it's slimmer, etc. the lx is cool, but it's not "way better"

[caileydawnosaur]

What the heck? the trackball is on the left? no way, i don't think i'd be able to use that haha.

[ObsessedPlastic]

it's on the right

[MrFr3shShotta]

its basically and iD plus an LX

[ObsessedPlastic]

all sidekicks are basically previous sidekicks with one or two new features

[morganwtk]

it's kinda ugly i like the lx bettr.

[Spazzim]

how?

i dont like the green but you can change that

[morganwtk]

i think it might just be me, but the screen's a lot smaller, and to me it looks pointy, i dunno how, but it just looks really pointy.

But one thing i do like is the customizable shells, u can customize your own shell n buy it, i thought that was pretty cool.

[ObsessedPlastic]

yeah, it's definitely tiny! it's like a mini SK, but so far i'm really enjoying it. although the screen is slightly smaller than the lx, it has way better resolution!

[TheTelenovaProject]

Believe it or not, it's actually the same resolution! The smaller screen results in a crisper image.

[ayooimfresh92]

ok this is a kool fone.

but y is it cheaper than the LX?

i would expect it to be more than the LX since it as video already and the shells could be changed. also i heard it has a better camera and a better resolution than the lx.

sooo confusing...

[tweetyb714]

is the keypad plastic or rubber?

[xXCheech24Xx]

it probably 199 because that's what the other high classed phones are and those are just demo phones the real 1s r going to be pretty nice

[ObsessedPlastic]

it's $150 w/ 2 yr. contract extension. with no contract at all, it's $300

[kamakazi831]

How much would it cost me to upgrade to this with my Sidekick iD. I want to keep my same plan. I do NOT want to extend my contract. How much would it be to upgrade without extending the contract. Thank you!

[ObsessedPlastic]

i believe it would be $300 with no contract extension.

[kamakazi831]

alright thank you at least its not like freakin 400 dollars or 450. So ill probly upgrade this sometime.

[ObsessedPlastic]

yeah, hopefully that information is correct. so far it has been. it's not 2 outrageous considering what it is.

[jrflores320]

UMM THIS SIDEKICK IS UP FOR SALE ON EBAY! check out my video about it!

[tweetyb714]

I WANT THIS SIDEKICK SOO BADLY!

[fullyflaredsk8r]

it looks gay lx kicksass

[scandilous951]

AND HOW iS THiS ONE BETTER THEN

THE LX?

iT LOOKS THE SAME TO ME

XEPT FOR THE UGLY GREEN COLOR

GOiN ON

[ObsessedPlastic]

the green is a shell that you have the option of putting on. if you don't like it, you can make it ANY color or ANY design. your only limitation is your own imagination. it also has a better camera and is slimmer.

[NYbadboy911]

is this better then the lx ota?

[ObsessedPlastic]

in my opinion, yes, because of the 2MP camera, slimmer form, and new customizable faceplates/skins.  the lx does sport a bigger display though!

[jr026]

this phone is gonna b better than the lx and slide

[Ktina5187]

When i talked to the lady at t mobile she said that they didn't have a set price for it yet!!! *tear* but im gonna call on the 29th and see if they have a price for it

[ObsessedPlastic]

The prices are as follows:

New activation w/ 2 year contract $150 after $50 mail in rebate

Full Upgrade w/ 2 year contract $168

Partial Upgrade w/ 2 year contract $268

Retail Price $300

[Ktina5187]

That is really good!!! How did you find that out?

[ObsessedPlastic]

T-Mobile employee had a price sheet

[Ktina5187]

They told me to call 12am on the July 30 to get the price on it..

[ObsessedPlastic]

they aren't supposed to say, some don't even know..but others know and can't keep their mouths shut!

[mickey22508]

ive been watching this new sidekick for a couple of weeks but still no info on how much is gonna be the price. does anyone knows how much is gonna cost?

[ObsessedPlastic]

i believe it's 150 with a new contract

[mickey22508]

how about regular price like with no contract

[ObsessedPlastic]

price without a contract will be $300

[cuevas376]

Why hasnt tmobile said comming soon?The release date is in 4 or 7 days away and the official tmobile website hasnt said "comming soon".

[ObsessedPlastic]

t-mobile still has lx's and slides to sell. if they told everyone a new phone was coming, no one would be buying the lx, slide or tony hawk in the days/weeks/months leading up to the new release. this is what they always do.

[sligy1]

cool vid i but is the screen that small

[ObsessedPlastic]

the display is 2.6", slightly smaller than the display on the sidekick lx

[sligy1]

yea but in the vid it looks real smal is it bigger than that in real life

[ObsessedPlastic]

yes, in the video it's blacking out the right side of the display. it's bigger than it looks

[no1couldbeme]

did u notice it dosent have flash?

[ObsessedPlastic]

yes, that's correct. no flash. fortunately that's not a feature i need.

[no1couldbeme]

were did u get these pics??

[ObsessedPlastic]

as stated to the right of the video:

"A big thanks to cellphonesignal"
