its differant than all the phones now but its a greate phone yes and the better choice would be the lx 09 but u would have to get it off ebay because tmobile doent sell that phone anymore
hey great vid, im getting the PV250, i was just wondering, does this phone have wifi, picture messaging, and do i need to buy a special usb to use this phone?
I used this phone for 2 years until i upgraded to the newest sidekick recently and i never had any of the problems the people down there are talking about i mean it froze a little bit but that was from constance use and playing with it i had dropped the phone a billion times. Still to this day it will work fine. I think it has to do with how you treat it.
That phone is horrible. I had it and it litterally was the shittiest phone i've had. The scroll ball broke and half the buttons did too, and it's really large. I would suggest not getting it.
Question? I'm a producer and one of my artist's mentioned something about a Sidekick in their song. Is the sound that your side kick make when it flips the default sidekick sound? Because I wanted to use it as a Add Lib Fx in the background of the song.
he stole them cause no one can get all those phones. some should call detectives on hiss ass. well the sidekick is a ok but the blackberry iphone etc is better
@cherry745 i want the phone soo bad! but where are you getting it cuz like tmobile only has like the 2009 lx. i dont get it where are you buying it?:(
I'm with AT&T and does it support a 3G Sim card cause well I got my Pantech matrix when this phone came out and I'm thinking about getting it, but I do not know if it will support my Sim card??
Which sidekick is better the O8 or O9 causee i dont know whcih onee to get. I dont want yer a opinion dhat says becausee the O9 is newer i want likee info & likee anything besides O9 is newer
to be honest none of them becuz I had both and absolutley hated them within months of owning them.. Now i have the tmobile mytouch 3G, but if u r not a fan of touchscreen then get a blackberry or anything else other than this... Just my opinion tho.. Hope u get wht u want
Why don't you try retyping that sentence with proper spelling and punctuation... I am not the one spelling retard "retart". I am sorry no one can be as smart as you.
if you actually watch it, you'll hear him talking about the sidekick 2 which was obviously previous to this sidekick since he said he had it like 5 -6 years ago haaha just sayin :]
ok, I am absolutely in love with this phone. The only thing is I live in Canada. If I were to buy it from ebay (not used, no plan or anythin) is there any way I could activate here??
They also are having a special on it. its only 34.99 with a new 2 year contract and a new plan, and the t-mobile certified open box. Priced as low as $34.99 but if you want to just buy the phone it is 249.99.
how much did this cost at this time cause i really love the sidekick and want to buy one but i dont think i am eligable for an upgrade so i would like to know how much it would be now 11/6/09
Do NOT buy this phone. (the 2008 version at least).
I have it, and I have had it for about a year, and it sucks so much ass. Earlier today it decided to fuck with my head, and delete all of my contacts. And everything else in my phone. (songs, themes, wallpapers, pics, etc.)
And My internet doesnt work anymore.
And I have 2 friends that have this phone as well. They hate it 2. The same things are happening to them 2. It is only good for about the first 5 months. DO NOT BUY THIS PHONE!
that's because all of the data service has been down (for EVERYBODY) since Thursday or Friday. it's fixed now. everything is saved on T-Mobile, or Dangers server or whatever,
i had the same problem. and it wasnt only for the 08. every tmobile sidekick customer in the US had that problem. and i have the lx 09. and it happened to me to.
