Top Reviews  T-Mobile Sidekick II is slick - but not for everyoneReview created: 09/22/05 by:  132 of 150 people found this review helpful. The T-Mobile Sidekick II is like nothing else on the market - and that's how the Sidekick is being marketed. Because of its uniqueness - its neither a traditional phone or a traditional PDA - its draws a variety of opinions and tastes. My opinion about the Sidekick though is that everyone can agree that the technology is great, the interface is intuitive, and the gadget is very slick. The personal preference instead comes when choosing rather you'd carry a Sidekick II over a phone (pros: more functionality and more size) or over a Blackberry (different but similar functionalities). The Sidekick II is full of features that are best of breed among the newest cell-phones and PDAs: # 240 x 160 pixel screen # True web browsing - in color # Built-in camera with flash - good quality # Calendar & organizer w/ PC synchronization - accepts V-cards # Photo caller ID and personalized pictures # AOL Instant Messenger # Easy & efficient text messaging # 6 MB email account AND: The Sidekick II is 25% slimmer than its predecessor. The Sidekick's big advantage is its capability to easily instant messaging and write and read emails. In that sense it's like a blackberry (have you ever tried to fully type out a email using a traditional phone?!). The other big advantage of the Sidekick is its sexiness and knack for customization. The Sidekick allows up to 2,000 contacts, a photo album, a complete organizer, etc - so when you are carry a Sidekick, its really you. Of course you can personalize Sidekicks too - there are all sorts of accessories and add-ons that are sold (all of which are on eBay). Both of these reasons make the Sidekick II so popular with celebrities. According to the "Popular Products Page", Currently the Sidekick II is the most popular T-Mobile cell phone on eBay and the 3rd most popular cell phone overall... for good reason!

I was originally with Verizon but they do not have a network that will nsupport my travels oversees. So, I got a T-Mobile Sidekick and now I can travel in Europe and have Internet access on my phone at any time. They have a great unlimited Internet for $20 a month and unlimited texting. Compare that to Verizon's $39 a month and $5 for texting you can not beat it. Only bad thing is that the Web Browser on the Sidekick does not support Javascript. But I am told that an update is coming in the next few weeks that will have support for Javascript. Review ID: 10000000000014221 Was this review helpful?

This phone is crazy hot, with all built in features you need daily. All that you dont get with it is a Printer. Review ID: 10000000001253162 Was this review helpful? Report this review  Sidekick II- great web applicationsReview created: 08/11/06(updated 04/18/07) by: 9 of 9 people found this review helpful. The Sidekick II has very good reception, a nice screen, and good battery life. Very easy to use the scroll bars, and surfing the Internet is fast as well. The camera/flash takes pretty good pictures. Too bad it does not have a memory card or MP3 player. If you're looking for a good web browsing cell phone, I would recommend this model. Review ID: 10000000001601524 Was this review helpful? Report this review Danger Sidekick II - Not a Longtime Commitment8 of 8 people found this review helpful. The Sidekick II is an exciting deviced offered through T-Mobile and made the PDA seem more user friendly and available to younger users. Sidekick II has been revamped from the orginal Sidekick, making it a sleeker, more fun version that is extremely easy to operate and has several great options not offered on regular handsets like a web browser, a QWERTY keyboard and a large color display but it does have some downsides. When I first received my Sidekick II it seemed like I could not put it down! I used it for everything: email, web searches, text messaging, digital pictures ... but one thing I never quite got used to was the size of it especially when being used as a phone. Sidekick II may be slimmer than the original but it still does not make a good replacement for a cell phone. In fact, that is what made Motorola's RAZR V3 phone seem even more appealing to me. The other problem I have with my Sidekick II is the way that the main keys are used several times in the same combination for different menus. Often times I would accidently answer or reject calls while using the multi-fuction keys. Another example of this problem happens when I unlock my device by pressing two keys at once it also brings up the sound profile menu which is slightly annoying when I am trying to do something quickly. Sidekick II is undoubtedly a good device overall but like others, it is flawed. I bought my Sidekick II in May of 2005 and I recently replaced it for the Motorola RAZR which has many of the same features but has more cell phone appeal and is less PDA styled. Sidekick II is perfect for younger users especially high school or college aged who will use it more for the easy way to text message and don't use it for calling people as often. For people like myself, who need a phone for long talk times or many calls a day think twice about this handset! Review ID: 10000000000080647 Was this review helpful? Report this review |
