This was the best phone I have ever owned. I have an iphone 4 now and it just has TOO MUCH shit that I don't want. I miss the simplicity of back then. I miss my sidekick :(
people are still using these things lol its can barley get pics and send pics and it barley now can get internat lol what the fuck why would anyone want to use this its stone age shit theres such thing as iphone and htc evos where you can watch 3d videos on them and people are still using sidekicks they were only cool when you couldnt do shit on a phone
@oceanside1322 um lets see these phones have fuckkiin AMAZING keyboards , which is gooood for txters and call quality is GOOOD as well as the fact that you can customize the crap outta that phone , I'd take a sidekick over an iphone 3g any day.
wow those things are better are smart phones genius and the keyboard thing that all depends on the person i was just talking about these old style sidekicks but you someone is gunna have a sidekick in 2011 they should have a sidekick4g
@oceanside1322 lol sorry but what ur saying is making no sense. im just saying id personally chose an old sidekick over a smart phone, in case u havent realized smart phones DOMINATE every single company. Sidekicks also run a pretty slick and near smartphone o.s just saying.
@702snowboarder You should definitely get this instead of the 08 version. This is probably better than the Android Powered sidekick in the market today. Lol.
I have this phone and i love it! I have dropped it so many times but it has never died or anything. Its just fun to have this phone, its super easy to type on and super easy to navigate.
I remember when I got this phone in 2007 and I was so excited bcz it was so high-tech then-I had that phone for 3 years until this year when I switched to android my touch 3g slide. looking back its so outdated, but i loveeeeed my sidekick-super trusty and the best :)
Quick question: I have AT&T as my service provider and I have heard that AT&T just bought T-Mobile, so if I buy a T-Mobile Sidekick LX 2009 Carbon from Amazon, will I still have to unlock it or is the phone already compatible with my SIM card. I'm thinking about buying a Sidekick just for the keyboard and not alot of people have these types of phones now, thanks for your help!
@Haleybaby97 it has 2. if u get it without the update and are unable to take video then it has a 1.3, but dont worry. within a few days, u will automatically get the update allowing video recording, and updating it to a 2 megapixel
@WholeLottaGame209 i got rid of my sidekick cause it dosent allow u to keep text messages for a long time small in box for text and email and no push email and the browser sucks
@GuppyGraves LOL... thx for the info... i realy love all mobile phones. almost all new and popular mobile phones i try it... so what type of phones do u use?....
@GuppyGraves blackberry are awesome. i use blackberry torch now, HTC evo 4g, and iPhones 4. i have motorola milestone and motorola telus. im kinda uber cellphones lol... your phones are great choises LOL
@shoesmadeinchina ahahhahahhahhaaahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaahahaa i thought i was the only one who saw that!!!!! omfg i freaking love you!! hahahahaahhahahahahahaha that made my life!!
@KidKraze321 Not sure but you could get the Sidekick slide and shiz from the T-Mobile store so they probably have it. But you can also buy it from the UK Amazon Website ..Good luck :3
@JessAcount123 not to sound discouraging but dont get one, i got the 09 and it gay, cuz all sidekicks r the same they juss look different the battery dies in about 4 hours even if its fully charged. sidekicks were good in their time period, but think y t-mobile stopped making them, uz most ppl didnt like them and like those ppl im tryna get rid of my kick for a G1 or G2
Lmao yes they do. I turn most of em off. Even still i'm over it and my Bold should be here Tuesday. Everybody made fun of me for having a Sidekick LMFAO
@alexislove20 get the 2009 or 2008 i haz the 08 and its is awsome i dont see why people bitch about it, i mean why do u need internet for your phone thats what computers are for
does this phone work in Europe? I really want it but I don't if it's going to work in Poland :<
