[KrazyKuul111]

[MrSureshot123456]

[MrALECNELSON]

[KamuiYato1]

[who1212121]

[Kooonster7]

@who1212121 bullshit I've had it since 08 its still perfect, never freezes, and the swivel screen is awesome

[who1212121]

@Kooonster7 well than yours was better then it freezes a lot for my friend

[NAWFSIDESOLDIER]

@Kooonster7 IS URS UNLOCKED?

[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?

[baconluver1158]

in waiting for mine to arrive in the mail! And don't have a phone that works so I cant text for a week

[kittybob5]

[MegaVideocheck]

[bobalonia024]

@pinkbunney1912  its a ambient light sensor

[cutiepie43307]

Haha he tries to skip past his message fast "Hot pictures" LOL

[jessabear10]

Does the flip part easily break/ loosen with use? What's the difference between the 09 and 08?

Very helpful video; thanks

[Wilsonboy0528]

@jessabear10 nope.... i've flipped that shit pretty hard and no problems.... and 09 is bigger more features and faster.

[tacos0816]

@jessabear10 the 09 is much larger and is slightly faster(due to 3G) but there are no feature differences ever since the update for the 08 (GEKKO)

[edd880]

[Cutecare]

A couple of questions

1. Will this phone work on Rogers network if unlocked?

2. Is it 3g capable?

3. Does it have wi fi?

[goldenguy1234roks1]

@Cutecare this fone will work unlocked with rogers no its not 3g but if you unlock ANY gsm 3g phone it wont work with 3g unless its on its original carrier and no wifi.

[goldenguy1234roks1]

@Cutecare this fone will work unlocked with rogers no its not 3g but if you unlock ANY gsm 3g phone it wont work with 3g unless its on its original carrier and no wifi.

[Cutecare]

[Chukiton]

@minuman1223 unfortunately you need a data plan for that to work. I was also disappointed when I first got mine back in 09

[kobericha]

[LimaTime51]

@minuman1223 did you ever get a response? i need help with this too.

[ohailkingalex]

[pitchinginstructor97]

3:23

[xXxMCRIsMinexXx]

It is so annoying how it doesn't notify you when you get a text message!! So you have to check it every like minute

[jonathanpit]

Pause at 3:18 xD

[WEFHIWEFWJGFQEUIFKEJ]

Hey does it have wifi what type of camera and does it have bluetooth what about a meory port ???? i realy wanna bye one but this vid misses most info i wanna see

[herick50]

[MYBEASTMODEONBOY24KB]

@dylanvncnt Hahahahahahaha!!

[0neofthem]

This is simply a shitty teenager phone. Do yourself a favor and get an iPhone or android device.

[PrincessDiam0nd]

i dont like the sidekick, i got it in January of 2010, and by march i had to get it repaired because the battery was having problems so after a couple of months until last month (december) my phone has been having those problems again...i charge it every night and whenever i loose cell signal meaning i dont have any more bars my battery dies...it dosent even RING FOR A TEXT MESSAGE UNLESS YOU HAVE INTERNET! DONT GET IT! im warning u!

[y05077]

i have a question about this i got one for christmas and i love it and i live in england so i got it unlocked but is there a way to power it off so its on standby i know about holding the arrow down puts it on the less power mode but is there a way to power it off without properly shutting it down?

[killer119607]

hahaha. i went from a BB pearl to Sidekick iD then back to a Samsung then BB curve now i just ordered the Sidekick 08'. i love sidekicks. i currently have the BB Curve 8520 and i hate it. all its good for is a Back-up Phone.

[BrownEyedBabbler]

I still have mine and I hate it, my track ball hasn't worked in forever!

[dacampo04]

Ever since the Danger site went down last Oct. I hated it. I lost everything. It's a teenagers phone and I got tired of all the bells and beeps quickly. Anyone over 21 I wouldn't recommend this phone. I now own a Samsung Vibrant and will never go back to the sidekick worst mistake I ever made............... Dislike button!

[Logistican518]

It's 12/14/2010 and I still have mine. I turn it off every night before I go to bed and they say that extends the life of the phone. I've replaced the battery once and that's all. I do like this phone for text messaging and it's easy to use. I've heard a lot of "crap" about T-Mobile and its service but this phone is decent and the service area is "doo-able"..You don't need an internet plan with this phone. Hell, I might be selling mine here soon to upgrade. Any takers?

[8800userable]

@brandonjohnn is used!!!!!!! i bet you its used in best buy are in 99 bucks but new

[8800userable]

@brandonjohnn is used!!!!!!! i bet you its used

[bobalonia024]

[sugrarbbyx3]

[TheIkeJr]

[flygon1234100]

@TheIkeJr no

[TheIkeJr]

do you need a internet plan for this phone?

[younqMoney162]

This Phone Is Tuff.

[MndLF0RVER]

[snowboardersrule]

@noababe 60 seconds?! i only get 20!!!!

[snowboardersrule]

@noababe not to mention the shitty camera and video. and no calculator

[kitten90000]

i still have 1 and it suckss

[RaZmAz28]

I had this phone, and I loved it. I had the data plan and everything. Until Tmobile screwed up and all Sidekick users were offline for a day or so. Thats when I decided to get off the Sidekick and get something else. Now whenever I try to use it, The battery dies so fast, usually within one call.

[ZzL3G1TxMODzZ]

do u need internet for this phone

[RaZmAz28]

@ZzL3G1TxMODzZ You don't HAVE to have the data plan. But if you dont have it, You dont get IM, the catalog, Text alerts or web. :/

[daviddai45]

how do i fix my notifications? when i get a text iit wont notify me right away but it will notify me later on..why is that? or how do i fix? please help and ty :D

[sk84o4]

damn i still have this phone i gotta get a new one! lol

[mooglewarrior]

oldie but goodie. i hate how people don't appreciate a good phone with great features. i don't honestly care about all the high tech shit. just text, aim, and web really.

[alphabroly28]

[jhamari95]

[iLuvzzYou]

@TechBoy489 you can buy it on Ebay and they can range from £40 - £90 plus shipping which can cost up to £20

[RenHok540]

The Sidekick is Done, It Was good for its time

[miachol]

[gorilastacos34]

@miachol because its gay.. if you don't have the sidekick plan then you don't get email or the names or a ringtone when you get a message.

[johnoy34]

[SylM84]

@OMGSTYLN101

Omg! My friends do that too. And what makes it even funnier is that they have high tech phones. My sidekick is pre-historic compared to their phones.

[Bennett14ify]

holy crap that things OLDDDD!!!!!



[pauuprincess]

omqq compare this to the phones we have now its sucksss

[NoOneCanDefeatKB24]

I have this, its good if you get the internet plan. But I don't have that so i've had some problems. And its annoying when the ball gets dirty.

[nicevid1234]

@NoOneCanDefeatKB24 what kind of problems???

[NoOneCanDefeatKB24]

@nicevid1234 Like not turning on or freezing a lot, the phone is still on but the all of the buttons don't work but the ball is still blinking (so then I have to take out the battery and it deletes everything), etc.

[kapp1jadam]

this thing is a dinosaur! lol

[RorschachAvenger]

@kapp1jadam hey dont dis this is the nicest phone ive ever had

[lazericshortbuslott]

i just got one from wirefly .com for 50 i love it

[drawingmaster]

If you can get it cheap, Its an ok phone. Other than that, its kinda badly made.

[andrewloveandrew]

@drawingmaster how much is it unlock?

[G3R50N27]

What is the app on this phone that makes the trackball light up different colors ?

[TheSmann87]

i just bought a new one on ebay for $50...love it!!!

[Strawburry6]

@TheSmann87 Does it record good videos?

[DavidPadilla15]

@Strawburry6 yes it records videos. have it and i cant say the video quality is excellent on the phone. in addition you NEED a simcard or Micro Sd card in order to record videos.

[markkloplepol]

lol, did you say web browseringon 0:25 ? isnt it web browsing?

[cataM9]

@markkloplepol oh come on. Can't you do any better than that, you twat?

[markkloplepol]

@cataM9 i bet you cant....

[bawain]

[MrCellularPhoneGuy]

if I had that phone I would have broken it by sliding the screen up and down over and over

[lilianalisbeth]

Is this phone touch screen?

[ryan199811]

@lilianalisbeth no

[Strawburry6]

@lilianalisbeth Nope. Althought I THINK there my be a touch one somewhere. Just look it up or something(:

[DavidPadilla15]

@lilianalisbeth no.

[MichaelJackson169]

T-mobile is dumb they should have called it the Sidek!ck ID 2 just like id with more stuff like 2.0 meg cam and video and bigger screen nad just nicer :D i luvvv it

[13376341]

[DavidPadilla15]

@13376341 theres a on/off button on the bottom right of the phone.

[luverovCHARMED]

I heard the sound quality when calling people isnt very good is that true?

[MichaelJackson169]

@luverovCHARMED no i have it i have no problems what so ever :D i luvvv it get it!!!!

[DavidPadilla15]

@luverovCHARMED yes the sound is lower during a call. you have to go somewhere silent in order to hear good.

[Jrramz22]

[saenz1001]

@Jrramz22 no ,just to go on myspace

[DavidPadilla15]

[Goldenboy2814]

how mutch its cost

[akm1516]

@Goldenboy2814 i just got one for 80 on ebay. i suggest gettin it used so the new updates are already on it

[kleenexboxer]

idk how people are so confused by this phone..lol it's the simplest phone available.

but people who wanna get it, get it used or something cuz this phone deletes phone numbers, the internet gets fucked up, etc..It is a good phone but they should have done more improvements on it, instead of let it fail. I personally like this phone aside from all of the problems I've had with it..

[biskutlover45]

No it dose not and t moble dose not sell then any nore

[skateryeoldschool]
