Hiptop/Sidekick Slide

[MikaelaaXD]

actually miss this phone so fucking much.

even though it was pretty shit. :/ hahaha. i miss it so much ! :(

[LexM97]

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.

[born2stab]

@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.

[andrew35945]

so u can watch videos on the sidekick slide wen someone sends it through video message??

[born2stab]

@andrew35945 no, it doesnt have ANY video capabilities. there is no way to view/record/play/send videos

[edsan371]

[hieko]

[born2stab]

they do that sometimes.

try cleaning it with an ear bud (q-tip)

if it doesnt work, its probably broken.

[2NiB4]

umm hey, i have a question, i understand you can't watch videos from youtube on the hiptop, but can u maybe use different websites to watch vids?

lol soz, its prob a real stuiped question ( =

[born2stab]

no, no flash player.

so no videos of any kind

[2NiB4]

hmm, ok, is it possible to download flashplayer onto the phone? lol soz 4 being so annoying, this is probs an even more stuiped question lol

[born2stab]

its fine,

and no, you cant download anything that will allow videos.

[2NiB4]

hmmm bummer

thank you soo much though!

[ryangymnast]

[jessikka69]

do you know how to find the hostname for hiptop email addresses?

[born2stab]

menu, settings, system info.

it should be there. i'm not sure what you mean though..

[forwardpony]

ok thanx

[forwardpony]

oh is the phone its self good or not?

[born2stab]

its alright.

its the features of it that make it good

[sam2021sam]

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?

[born2stab]

im sorry i dont understand your question.

i did enter my pin and my keyguard.

[laptopsarebest]

is it nice to have unlimited txt mms internet email and msn. i am looking at getting the same colour. is telstra good on the hiptop

[born2stab]

yes, cool, and its alright.

[aaronbadboy8]

how do u use the messengers when the phone doesn't hv 3g. does it hv wireless?

[born2stab]

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.

[krysteenbby123]

How do you use the bluetooth on the slide ?

I seem to not recieve any pictures when it connects with another person .

[born2stab]

the bluetooth on the slide is only bluetooth headsets. unfortunatly, we cant send and recieve anything by bluetooth.

[krysteenbby123]

Awh, alright thanks ! (:

[stevo351]

is there myfaves for the australian hiptop?

[born2stab]

no, we dont have that here unfortunatly.

i think we have something similar, but its nowhere near as good as myfaves.

[stevo351]

dam, that would have been sweet. i think thers something similar with standard prepaid phones, but yeah i guess not the hiptop. thanks man.

[candybabe8]

Hey, i found a hiptop at gamezome a while ago, but later has been blocked by the network or wateva, anythin i can do bout dat?

[nickster1318]

its the shittest fone ive ever bought

[whiteexpress94]

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...

[born2stab]

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.

sorry to be of no futher use.

and thankyou for the favorite and high rating.

[whiteexpress94]

so if $500 aus dollars,that's around RM1000 malaysian,im saving RM1500 just to be safe.thanks for the info...

[c2589xy]

[Myles397]

[ladybee24]

[xoxSexyGodessxox]

does it have bluetooth?

[Josephskewl]

Yes, but only for wireless headsets.

[catscratch69er]

yeh it does for song and shit

[Josephskewl]

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.

sorry.

[xoxSexyGodessxox]

[Josephskewl]

Yes,

[shanshuai11]

OK

I will be the day after the Web site address to you

THANK YOU!!

[shanshuai11]

How do I download my computer's sidekick silde games install on my sidekick silde?

[Josephskewl]

You cant only download-able from the Catalouge

[schoolers102]

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?

[Josephskewl]

because he lives in Australia, as do i, they Say HIPTOP on the side not T-Mobile,

[GothicSarah543]

i just have unlimited texting/picture messeging on my present phone anyways and stuff so it is ok.

[GothicSarah543]

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.

[born2stab]

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.

[GothicSarah543]

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.

[born2stab]

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.

[joelcss]

im getting this :D
