Graduation Gift
on June 8, 2011
Posted by: LadyBison
My parents bought this phone for me as a high school graduation gift. The main reason they purchased this specific phone is because they both have the Samsumg Vibrant and LOVE IT! The Sidekick gives me the same OS and features they have plus 4G service & a keyboard (which was the only thing I did not like about their phones). This was an upgrade and the setup was easy. All of my contacts, music and files were quickly available. Another specific reason my parents bought this phone was the available FREE apps that are actually useful. Because of the many apps available, my parents felt it was imperative that I have this phone for college. In fact, my parents are thinking about upgrading my little sister's phone to a different Samsung phone solely based on their excellent experience.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, ease of use and setup, many usable free apps, ease of downloads
Cons: slightly heavier, display screen completely exposed, for protection you need a full cover case
I would recommend this to a friend!

This phone is awesome. It definitely beats the previous Sidekick models by a long shot. I would recommend this phone to those who like touchscreen but still want a QWERTY pad. Great phone from a great brand.
Pros: Bright display, Inexpensive, Lightweight

I just got this phone, it's awsome. The screen is very clear, the keyboard is spaced out so typing is very easy, it has a front facing camera, but one of the best was the price. It's suprisingly affordeable.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Inexpensive, Durable, Realistic color, Lightweight

My first Sidekick
on November 28, 2011
Posted by: annababy
Expertise:Beginner
I love this phone! I had the MyTouch and it kept giving me problems so T-Mobile gave me an upgrade which was the Sidekick 4G. I love it! So far I haven't had any major problems with it. I figured out that if I don't restart it daily it starts to slow down, but I just turn it off and then right back on and it is good to go. It is the best phone I've had and I really love it! I was able to put all my music on it from my iTunes account using the double twist app and they are really easy to get to on the phone! The only complaint I have is that there is no flash for the camera. Other than that, it is an awesome phone.
Pros: Built-in speakers, Bright display, Durable, Realistic color
Cons: no flash for camera
I would recommend this to a friend!

Great Features

Love the Full real Keyboard! Nice size for me. With the disabilities I live with. Having a full real keyboard in land scape mode, helps keep my hands to my elbows from going numb. Between muscle spasms & general shaky hands,fingers. The on screen keyboards are hard for me to use.
Pros: Bright display, Lightweight, real keyboard, easy to use
Cons: Not high def, speaker sound, unable to multitask, t-mobile
I would recommend this to a friend!
