i feel you ... my friend lives in a horrible area for service ... the only place ive ever seen a sk not work is in his house LOL ... internet is fine for me soim guessing it goes along with your service issues ... but the new sk will be 3g so that takes care of that ... the new sk also has a better camera and issmaller and sleaker ...
it just seems to me like everything "bad" about the LX they have taken care of with the 2009 ...

Lol, you guys...
The people arguing "Sidekicks are for kids" are just being hypocrites because you're acting like bigger kids than the ones that have Sidekicks!Grow up! Do you even know the specs on a Sidekick? Let's reiterate...
It has the BEST keyboard on a cell phone. Every single review has agreed on this. Don't even bother arguing with this.
The BEST AIM on a cell phone. Again, no need for argument. Every single review has also agreed on this.
A real web browser that's even better than the BlackBerry's.
The Danger OS is more user friendly than the BlackBerry's.
Push e-mail. Although I will admit, the Sidekick's email isn't as good as the BlackBerry's, it is decent and does the job.
When my LX was running on EDGE, it was actually pretty fast... It took about 15 seconds to load up NikeTalk. Imagine how fast it'll be with the 3G!
Okay, I gave you my thoughts.

to do what? hahah. what exactly are you asking.Originally Posted by freshhh
dude why are you arguin so hard for your sidekick?
do you work for danger if somethin?
i mean calm down it really isnt that serious.
and off topic, since i dont wanna throw this into the million page thread
mjbetch-how hard is it to get a BB to do all that *%!$?
my boy offered me a curve for basically nothin and i might just get a second phone
and lets say sidekick aim is 10/10 what do you rate the curves?
and really i think the bb and sidekick can go hand in hand with AIM. depending though on which blackberry.
ok, and which reviews? "every single review" i'd like to see them.Originally Posted by LimitedRetroOG

thank youuuu.
now post the reviews of the curve. haha
now post the reviews of the curve. haha
* Outdated Web browser: The Sidekick's on-board Web browser was amazing back in 2004; today, it's looking seriously dated. Yes, it still renders big HTML Web sites that standard phones can't, but pages look badly jumbled, and pull-down menus and other on-screen inputs are tough to manipulate. With heavy competition in the form of Nokia's top-notch Web browser and Safari on the iPhone, the Sidekick will have to do better to stand out from the crowd.
* No 3G: T-Mobile has yet to launch its own 3G network, so EDGE-only data access on the LX is a given. Still, that leaves it several feet behind the starting line compared to such phones as the Palm Centro and the upcoming Voyager, especially when it comes to streaming video and music downloads. But wait-the iPhone doesn't support 3G either! True, but that leads us to...
* No Wi-Fi: T-Mobile is no stranger to Wi-Fi-enabled phones-witness the Wing and the new BlackBerry Curve, both with Wi-Fi-yet here is the LX, with no Wi-Fi in sight. The non-3G iPhone can do over-the-air music downloads thanks to Wi-Fi-not so here. Even worse, T-Mobile missed a golden opportunity to make the LX a HotSpot @Home phone (which allows for Wi-Fi phone calls).
* No GPS: Not only is the LX lacking integrated GPS, it's also seriously in need of a garden-variety mapping application, which is getting to be standard issue with even the most basic phones.
damn.
according to one of your reviews, the curve is better than the sidekick.
but i'm done arguing. there's no use right? we're gonna use what we use whether anyone likes it or not right? i'm not gonna hate you or thinkyou're less a person just because of what phone you use. haha

Lol, that review was made before the LX got the OTA update from v.4.4 to 4.6. Just trust me on this, 4.4 to 4.6 was a HUGE leap.
The Curve doesn't have 3G, either.
Depending on which Curve, only one has wi-fi and the other has GPS. (The 8310 has GPS and 8320 has wi-fi.)
I love you, too. <3

i had the first 2 SKs, they arent customizable enough for me so I havent purchased any other models. Also in my opinion they are too damn big they keep makingthem skinnier but they are way too long. But I dont even care about phones anymore I have a $20 virgin mobile phone, i dont use phones enough to spend overthat on one nowdays.

it's pretty simple. they're highly based of the normal blackberry os. so it looks and operates just like an official RIM app.Originally Posted by freshhh

This device is wack. Since I work in the mobile gaming industry, I've already heard a bit on this device. OS is still wack. Just like the other sidekicksI've worked on, there are no new improvements. The least they can do is improve or totally update the OS or even try something new. There is no innovationwith the Sidekick these days. It seems all that has change is how it actually slides/flips out and the appearance. Nothing else really has changed.
