[strawsomeo]

[PhantomPhreak16]

When I get Mine I'm Probably gonna Swivel the screen till it can't swivel no more

[NAWFSIDESOLDIER]

@PhantomPhreak16 lol

[dontwalkhand]

A phone like this is worthless without Internet.

[THASICKBOYzENT]

ayy i got a question..i wanna get one of these but do i have to get internet to it..its the first sidekick like that one your showing.. but i already got cell phone buts its a flip phone but im asking if i buy one these do i need internet on this one??

[rustyspoon69]

can u record sound and put it as ur ringtone

[nanivarma2005]

i'm planning to buy this sidekick 2008..

will it work in india??

nd does it support internet connection nd wi-fi??

plzz help me out

[ThetSInsane]

@nanivarma2005 i think it does cause i just boghut ma 2008 sidekick lx on ebay

[PunkGrl199]

I wanted that phone so bad for a while and until now, I don't want it anymore! It sucks! I have the iPhone 4 :]

[tiaorwhatever]

I got this phone when it came out and it got "sick" alot, froze all the time....it really sucked. i wouldnt suggest anyone to buy this older phone when you can buy a smartphone and get 4g. The texting was amazing though. alot better than the touch screen crap.

[41ktmracing]

Hey I just bought that phone today for 30$ and does it have wi fi?

[domaimai13]

new on amazon like 40 bucks. but i read somewhere that t-mobile was not going to be servicing these older sidekicks with internet, downloads etc. only call and text. im not sure if this is true. at 40 bucks its a steal, if your a sidekick user you would know!!!

[DennyVMusic2K11]

can you download apps on this?? like a notepad app maybe?

[aZnsUpergiRL916]

When you txt on a sidekick ... every msg is like a convo where your previous msg is just above right? Instead of a inbox and outbox type of thing? (E.g) Its like aim right? Where i can scroll up to see previous msgs and i dont have to go switch btwn inboxes and outboxes?

[Brah027]

@aZnsUpergiRL916 Sadly no - none of the old sidekicks have threaded text messaging. But if it's not a big deal for you then this is a REALLY good phone to have.

[samsammy151]

should i get this phone i get a new phone next month

[1aMattes]

This looks like Nokia 5110

[zizozizo2000]

how much money did u spent on it

[elledee204]

im in canada and i want to buy a sidekick but i heard that i cant use the internet?? can someone confirm this??

[Fender7083]

You sound sad

[paintballin101]

Hey guys, I have an at&t plan, I can buy a 2008 sidekick for 50 bucks but can't do picture messaging or internet is it worth it? I like the phone style and the quickfire just doesn't seem so good...

[ELJohnnyo]

I wish I still had my Sidekick. Too bad they discontinued them. :(

[thankallahalltime]

thenoblequran (Ctrl+Enter)

[alphaGHOSTT]

i had the 2008 one but it don't got wifi at least and so i sold it but man i sure love sidekicks they beat iphones any day!

[amaried98]

Hey do u think cause it was my bday feb 19 now 13 should I get a sidekick or a touch screen from t mobile

[kjmmss]

@amaried98 sidekicks cuz there a goo phone touckscreens are annoying when it comes to texting so a sidekick is the way to go

[MrCrazymonk43]

sidekicks are awsome

[sprucepantherkmt]

this guy sounds so hi and drowsy

[BeckiiBananas]

I Really Want A Sidekick Phone I'm Not too Fussed About Which One It Is All i want To Know Is Will I Be Able To use It With An Orange Sim Card Or Will i have To Change To T-mobile, Will it Work In The UK? Thank You

[MrRiverheadfootball]

is it touch screeen and my friend selling me a used one for 300 $ i was thinking 40$ ANY EDVICE?

[missasianpride1]

@MrRiverheadfootball it a full keyboard!!!!how is it touch screen?!!!!!

[flygon1234100]

@MrRiverheadfootball its not touch screen. 300$ is a rip off. try getting it from him for 40$

[Cmusic8]

i got this for 10 $ from some black guy on craisglist.

[AQWWaRFoRFuN]

i got it for $40 on eBay

[nicki4097]

I LOVE IS PHONE IM GETTING IT CANT WAIT

[TiffyBaddha]

i <3 this phone!

[SoYeasterday]

How mutch does this phone cost in usa?

[jaws5263]

@SoYeasterday i know like 10 people in my school that would sell me a sidekick for like 30 dollar, there so common in my school and kinda ghetto

[SoYeasterday]

@jaws5263 WooT, thats so cool i whana buy "30 dollars" cheap! : )

Bhut i live in Europe [ Netherlands ] : (

There's here no shop with Sidekick.

On ebay the sidekick cost like 100 dollars for a brand new one.

+ shipping 24 dollars..

[y05077]

@SoYeasterday im getting one and i live in England im not sure where it came from because i didnt order it but just a warning you cant buy a normal American sidekick you must have it unlocked and adapted for your power supply in america its 120V i think but here in UK its 250V so the battery needs to be adapted or it will break as soon as you charge it if your ever going to get one do your research before you buy

[TheRisenRose]

@TupacShakurfan4ever

You should get the sidekick lx 09 because the Sidekick LX, a slightly larger and feature-heavy Sidekick with 3.2-megapixel camera, a larger battery, 3G, GPS, larger screen, and the same rotating screen with chiclet keyboard underneath.

[jennychung123]

can it play music from youtube?

[75WEB]

U CAN HACK IT TO MAKE IT WORTH UR WHILE. I GOT MINE FOR 30BUCKS NO PLAN

[weezyfan25]

hi everyone what can u do if u dont have a contract on it? like what stuff can u do without a plan on it

[deejayzee22]

50 bucks on Ebay, no contract.. Manufacturer Refurbished!

[Fyeagass16]

Shit, i dont have a card or paypall, and they are not sellin em in ireland, life looks so meaningless right now ;/

[luverovCHARMED]

Do you know if this phone would work in australia with a 3 sim card??

[RUCKATILLIDIEx1]

yoooo peeps its $158.58 from wallmart

[donofan247365]

@RUCKATILLIDIEx1 its 50 from kmart no contract

[weezyfan25]

@donofan247365 really 50 bucks?

[donofan247365]

@weezyfan25 yeah u just order it off of kmart.com and you can activate it

[weezyfan25]

@donofan247365 thx but i asked what u can do if it has no contract like can u play games etc.......

[FiatDriver126p]

@weezyfan25 the phone wont work without a sim card

[donofan247365]

@weezyfan25 yeah you can play games just put in the sim card that comes with it but its not worth getting it just for that cuz all you have is 2 games and a camera

[jaws5263]

@weezyfan25 they are pretty cheap and common

[SkankingSociety]

looks lame,to plastic:S

[S69NER]

[fred10002]

There are so many phones that are better than sidekicks all sidekicks suck I even rather the iPhone 2g/1st generation over the sidekick lx 09 because of the apple store and touch screen and touch screen keabored I have the iPhone 3g/2nd generation and I use it all day because of it's touch screen and awesome games and web browser and I think iPhone 3gs/3rd generation is the best phone ever existed on earth

[TheHotMeganFox]

yo based on your spelling, your a fuckin tard so i dnt know why anyone would listen to you.

[NAWFSIDESOLDIER]

@fred10002 shut up and stop complaning

[ImaBadDop3XKiid]

[kachowXD]

awh, thats gay, is it 20 seconds to be able to send it, or save ? cuz some phones will let u record way longer if u want to just save it other than sending it to someone

[apocalyse2012]

[purplemuffinman0198]

74.99

[ImaBadDop3XKiid]

is that mail and rebate? thats the price? 74.99 ? how much does it cost for the phone byitself?

[Vittilitia]

It costs $50 for the phone itself, but I don't think you can buy it from t-mobile without a plan...

[nicoleheart95]

if ur doing a 2 year plan its 74.99 and 200 or 100 with no plan

[Vittilitia]

Right now it is about $50-75

[gagaster12]

where?

[Vittilitia]

At the T-mobile Website, and In-stores. At the moment on the website though, it says "Temporarily Out of Stock" but they'll probably have it at the stores.
