the camera on this phone is quit impressive, im very happy with it. the only problems ive come up with...the phone on occasions freezes and i have to restart it. i don't like having the search button so close to the A and the shift button, i tend to press it accidentally as im typing, i wouldn't hesitate to take it off if i could, it's a pain in the butt -____- ...other than that the feel of the phone its self as you text is very comfortable. the battery on the phone is really good.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable
Cons: Too big
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I really like this phone but it is a little shy on performance. I'm also not completly satisfied with only having a 3 Megapixel camera with no flash. At least they could have put a flash on it.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Lightweight
Cons: no camera flash, bulky, poor button layout design.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Love It but a few suggestions

This is so far a great phone....I like the app's and the slide up screen to reveal a full keyboard...Love the key board had a seperate "?" mark key and emote key along with a voice key.
Love the screen its nice and clear but would like to see it have the ability once open to pivot up a little more as the whole phone is like having a mini laptop.
Programs and/or phone freezes on occasion but no more than any other phone that I have ever had.
The functionality of the phone is easy and fun and unlike my previous phones I do feel that I have all capabilities of a mini-office in this nice phone.
Pros: Bright display, Realistic color
Cons: screen should pivot up more
I would recommend this to a friend!

I love this phone. The only 2 con is that it needs more powerand the power buttom is in the wrong spot. Tends to run a little slow. Put a 1 ghz in it and and move the power button and it would be perfect.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight, keyboard
Cons: tends to be slow, power button needs to be moved
I would recommend this to a friend!

Good but with bugs

I've already swapped my Sidekick 4G out for another due to several minor issues. Within 2 weeks it locked up several times, dialed a # all by itself and keeps dropping my bluetooth headset. I thought I wanted the larger keypad, but it's hard to get used to which is a surprise. The functions seem great if I can ever get around to exploring them all and figuring out how to use them.
For the basic businessman, the complexity is an issue. I just wanted a solid platform for mobile emailing and fast web as compared to the berry.
Pros: Bright display
Cons: battery life, complexity
I would recommend this to a friend!
