This is a shit phone! Telstra stopped selling them because they were too overpriced for what they are. They look like a cheap piece of crap from a $2 shop and don't have the technology that much cheaper phones have.
@LexM97 actually, telstra stopped selling it because they are fazing out 2G phones, they want everything on 3G because they dont want to have to run both at the same time, its to expensive. and yes it looks kinda cheap and toyish, but it still turns heads even today. and although it doesnt have the technology most 3 year old phones have, its multitasking capabilities are second to none.
even my iphone 4 cant jump around as seamlessly as this old hiptop.
i have hte sidekick 2008 and i got it maybe 4 days ago and on my menu my fave 5 is not showing up it says i need internet for it..same w/ having a calcuator on my phone. and also on my inbox when i get a new text the name doesnt show up only the number, please help?
Hi i was just wondering how did you jump your 4 digit unlock thing? You didnt enter it? Is there another 4 of over writing the 4 digit code on the hiptop?
question:how much does it cost? when do u think it'll come to south east asia?
i rated it 5 and put it into my favorites cause i liked sidekick so much.since sidekick doesn't and won't work from where i come from,this will be the closest that i can get...
the phone its self is about $500 australian dollars, or $450 if you can find a good sale.
and i am really not sure when or if it will come to south east asia. it depends if one of the mobile service providers decide to buy into it. we got lucky in australia because telstra bought into it.
u can only watch videos on da web browser on the tony hawk lx and the sidekick 08 i would kno cuz im 11 and i have the 08 and my dads friend iz da vice prez of t-mobile 4 the state of va
i have problem with my hiptop, blutooth doesn;t work but actually it's already connect to my laptop, and i can't use my image as wallpaper...please help what should i do???
nope. sorry you can ask any hiptop user or sidekick user and they will tell you that the bluetooth wont do file transfer. inless your in america and you have a SIDEKICK LX with the OTA.
umm i have the same one as you how does yours say hiptop and why is that ones jump screen maad different lol i want that one howd you get it like that?
im getting one too but i am just unsure if i am gonna have to go back to a sidekick plan to use it or not. i had a sidekick 3 and i had a sidekick plan for it. i now have a regular flip phone and i am hoping that i dont need to change my plan if i just get a sidekick slide.
im sure you can use any sim card/plan on the sidekick slide, you just wont have access to the free internet/msn/txt etc. unless you have just your old sidekick 3 sim card, that will work on the sidekick slide.
actually miss this phone so fucking much.
even though it was pretty shit. :/ hahaha. i miss it so much ! :(

how do u use the messengers when the phone doesn't hv 3g. does it hv wireless?
aaronbadboy8 2 years ago
it used edge. its like 3g but much slower.
the messengers dont require much data transfers, so they can use a slower internet connection like edge.

my sidekick 3 sim card has been my sim card for my other phones too so i think it will let me have the unlimited text and stuff.
GothicSarah543 3 years ago
yea, it does, just no email and internet.
if you stick another service provider sim into a sidekick, you wont get all the free stuff.
born2stab 3 years ago
im getting one too but i am just unsure if i am gonna have to go back to a sidekick plan to use it or not. i had a sidekick 3 and i had a sidekick plan for it. i now have a regular flip phone and i am hoping that i dont need to change my plan if i just get a sidekick slide.
