I used to have a sidekick back in the years before the iPhone came out. I love my iPhone but I missed my sidekick too. That was a texting power maching, iPhone one was a disaster in that department but the applications were a lot better than the sidekick apps. Lets not forget that Apple was not the first smartphone that offered apps, I'm not sure who was first but in 2006 my sidekick had that feature.
Now, this new 4G sidekick is amazing, I love it, I dont like android a lot but in this machine it looks a lot different and better. The group texting is like no other, i dont even think that other phone offers this feature. Overall the phone is amazing. I recommended 100%
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Realistic color
I would recommend this to a friend!

Although this product has outstanding features, the network needs to be 4G in order for them ALL to work properly & if you happen to drift into G, 2G, or a 3G network, you will find yourself refreshing any app you open. It seems as though the phone designers put too many features & that has cause the operating system to lag behind the users commands.
Cons: Did not meet expectations
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I enjoy every aspect of this phone (gaming, texting, media hub, group text, front forward picture capability, etc....). If you are not crazy about apple products than this is the next best thing. This is equivalient to the Iphone but with andriod products. I have had this product for 2 weeks and I have yet to find a con.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight
I would recommend this to a friend!
