GSM 850 & Unlocking
I was wondering...will the T-Mobile Sidekick III have GSM 850?
Also, does anyone know if this will be a tough phone to get unlocked?

T-Mobile will have the 850MHz band on it.
As it says on our spec page, (you know, the one you had to click on to get to this page, 😉 ) yes, the US version does have GSM 850.
...
The bigger question is why do they have the 850 band on it? T-Mobile does not support the 850 spectrum only Cingular. I meant T-Mobile does have roaming agreements, but something seems weird for this one.

Help me decide !
Ok, I want to buy sidekick 3 but I'm not sure. In Poland there are no sidekicks , so I will need to buy it from , I guess, USA or UK. Before I will do it I need to be sure that I will be happy with using sidekick 3. I was searching for opinions of others and the comments were good as weel as bad. The bad ones discouraged me to buy it but I really want it ! I'm not gonna give up so easly. I need a pro opinion of users of Sidekick 3. But honest opinion! Tell me everything about sidekick (bad and good things). Please.

NEW S!DEK!CKS
T-Mobile also might be getting another phone to add to their Sidekick selection. It is apparently called the "Sidekick Slide". From the pictures that have been released the Sidekick Slide looks to look like the same swivel screen and full QWERTY keyboard. This time the keypad is made of hard plastic buttons although the shape is in circles. The color scheme of the phone seems to be in black and purple. It has 1.3 Mega Pixel camera. It looks to be thinner the sidekick 3 all around. It also might have been designed by Motorola because the left side of the phone features a Motorola logo. It also had a t-mobile badge on the other right side. Other features that this is rumored to have is bluetooth, and MP3 player with a memory card slot. It look...

prepaid help plz
My cousin is giving me her sidekick 3 😁 (because shes getting a Treo) and I have a prepaid sim card already but her sidekick wasn't prepaid. How do i use my prepaid sim card with a non prepaid sidekick? 🤨 Thanks in advance
If you just want to use it as a phone then you can press the menu button (the button with 3 parallel lines) and the L button at the same time when the "waiting for activation" screen appears. This will only allow you use the SK3 for the phone and SMS...

Any Users with Cingular?
Have any of you used this phone with Cingular's network? Im planning on buying it unlocked on ebay, and i wanted to make sure what features will work on Cingulars network. Im pretty much only wanting to make calls, text, go on AIM, and go on the Web. If any of you have used this phone on Cingulars Network or know somebody that has used the sidekick 3 on cingulars network....please help!...thanks!
Only voice calls and SMS will work. You have to have a Sidekick plan for the web and AIM to work. Since Cingular doesn't sell the SK, they won't have a SK plan.
...
I work for T-Mobile and I can confirm that the SK3 does NOT work for any service but T-Mob. Like Cwosigns said, all you'll be able to do with it is use it as a phone and send SMS.

Bandwagon
Its about time T-mo jumped on the bandwagon. How hard is it to write an app for myspace???
Helio and AT&T realized the value of this evil long ago.
I am a loyal T-mo customer, but i wish they would jump on the bandwagon faster, or better yet CREATE their own bandwagon.

T-Mospace?
T-Mobile creates their fair share of "bandwagons"...myFaves, HotSpot@Home, FlexPay...

What about speed...?
Do the data speeds on T-Mobile even make it worth it? I'm a T-Mobile user and prefer their company to all the other providers, but they don't have 3G so would MySpace even be plausible on their network? Even on 3G phones, MySpace is clunky because it is so heavily picture/video oriented.
The amount of data downloaded is just too much to really function well on a phone (and I don't want a thousand people saying "Well it works great on my blah, blah, blah...." I know that everyone thinks they have the best phone out there)! 🙄

thats why i use opera mini to get on myspace...even with slow connections it still nice...

It's a custom app, so it doesn't load up the actual page. This makes it quicker because instead of loading up all the useless crap, it just gets specific information. It shouldn't be a problem on EDGE.
Just so long as they don't become t-amp'd its ok with me ;-)
Pretty cool, but alas, Helio is EV-DO/CDMA and T-Mobile is EDGE/GSM so it would cost too much to convert. 😢

Pretty easy, make the ringtones and once you get your sidekick you set up an email account and then you send the ringtone from an email account on your computer to your sidekicks. If they are too big The sidekick wont except them it needs to be about ...

Hey, I'm wondering in case anyone knows about this.. can hiptop 3 be used overseas with other sim card? Will the whole phone works or just the internet function that won't be able to work?
I ask the people from Telstra (in Australia) who sells this phone, but they have no clue whatsoever.
Thanks all!
Very appreciate the feedback!
