Average Ratings
Great Phone Really!
Great phone and it has wonderful reception and very good keyboard at that. It's in wonderful condition and has great color screen viewing. Love the way it flips up. It's really an intelligent phone and has very great Internet viewing. I absolutely adore this phone and am way over the Samsung A950!!!!

Awsome phone
I purchased the Juicy Couture sidekick on ebay and I couldn't be happier. I have tried the sidekick 3 and still I love my Juicy. The ringer is loud, much louder than the sidekick 3. The color is so cool and I love the little dogs on the font and back. You can do anything with this phone, go on the web, email people, texting is so easy, even go on AIM. This phone is surely a conversation piece too, with the flip screen and pink color, everyone just loves the phone. I would highly recommend this phone to anyone who wants a versatile phone and a little fun!
I Like It.
I've had the Sidekick II for a little over a month now, and I must say that I expected more. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the device, but it only so much you can do with it. I love the text keyboard; I don't think I'll ever get another keypad cell phone. I love the interchangable bumpers.
Pros:
* Keyboard
* Bumpers
* Previewing ringtones/games, etc.
* AIM built in!
* Music in e-mail
* Customizing it just how YOU like it
* Flip screen - come on, you've gotta love it!
Cons:
* Battery - I can charge it all day and if I start using it to text, before I know it, it's down to 2 bars
* Camera - I was going to give it a chance and ignore everyone's complaints about the camera, but I must admit ... it's HORRIBLE!
* Camera/power button - they're hard to hold down, but maybe it's just me
I only have data because I'm still in a 2-year contract with another provider, so I haven't had to chance to use the Sidekick as a phone.
I gave this device a 4 out of 5 because of the camera and battery life.
Talk About Bad Reception???
EVERYTHING about the sidekick2 is perfect, the phone,texting,camera etc.
The ONLY thing that bugs me with it is the RECEPTION, and thats all. very bad reception when you really need it. The other thing is NO MSN! i was so disappointed when i found out there was no msn ( like who really has an AOL? like really, how desperate?) i love my sidekick, especially with my "NYC PEACH" studs on it (black and green (yyeah) like how many people can say they have a sidekick ""studded""?? your looking at about 450$ just for the studs!! o well i can afford it,.....o and one more thing, i not only have a sidekick2, i have the one version " and let me say the 2 tops 1!!. i think the sk2 is even better then my ""Motorola Q"" (the new raz-r/blackberry), ummmm on second thought no the Q is the best for me for now, untill i get the ""sidekick 3"". OOH and i am getting the sidekick3 the day it comes out i already arranged a agreement with t-mobile (they say im their best custermer)
well i really like the sidekick2, more then the 1. but not the Motorola Q. but i think my sidekick 3 will top them all, all of u's that want a sidekick just wait like a couple of weeks for the sk3! (for me i don't have to cause ill get it anyway) haha well peace outt!!
Its a great phone!
I love my sidekick 2! Yes you may have a few glitches, but this is T-mobile's first phone with this much stuff smashed into this little thing. Yes, its big and bulky and kinda heavy, but I love it and could not live without my sidekick. Just get the warranty and if you break your sidekick they will sned you a new one with all of your contatcs and information, and even PICTURES! Everyone says that they are week. I am very tough on my phones, I am constantly dropping them, I have had it fall out of a truck (not in motion). It still works. I have had a sidekick for about three months. I AM STILL ON MY FIRST ONE!!!(That was not shouting) I like my sidekick, and always wonder how I am going to live without it when i get a new phone and how I ever lived without it. I don't think I am going to give up my sidekick 2 for a long time. People are always saying that they are breaking on them, and freezing. Its because they don't take care of them. Take care of your sidekick and you wont have any problems. I also get great service. I get service where I didn't when I still had Cingular. I had a Rokr and all of my friends were telling me to not get a Sidekick 2, they said keep the Rokr its better. They have used my Sidekick one time and now they want one. I couldn't ever live without my little buddy!
ah so so
the phone is alright. when i first bought it, it was the coolest thing ever. i played with it alot but then NOW...ugh i cannot stand it. its to big for me. i can never put in my pocket or in my tiny purse. the screen gets all scratched up and every time someone else uses my phone, there is mad grease on the screen. don't get me wrong, i love it but then i want something smaller. this phone is just too big and bulky.
Oh how I adore my sidekick2
I absolutely adore this phone.
Pros:
Great text messaging.
Super fast email.
Beautiful menu layout.
Loud ring-tones.
It updates itself regularly like a computer.
It can handle any weather.
(I've dropped in tons of times, and its even been submersed in water... 15 minutes with a and it was back in action)
The camera [for me] works great.
The games are awesome and relatively inexpensive.
The phone contact memory is outstanding.
The speaker phone is loud.
The earbud works perfectly.
The calendar is a huge help.
It syncs with my computer for "important dates"
Ive never experienced a dropped call.
I'm covered all through my area and most of the nation.
T-mobile customer service is fast and friendly.
You can check your account balance from the phone.
The charge holds for a few days.
CONS:
Its a little big for a phone but considering all it does... its worth it.
Theres no video feature.
And it freezes for a minute from time to time.
I ADORE this phone. I would never use any other phone. Unless the sidekick three came out, haha.
I would suggest and DO suggest this to ANYONE who's interested in getting a new phone with TONS of fun features.
and you look pretty awesome typing and talking on it.
its a real conversation piece.
Not much to Complain about...
My Girlfriend got this phone in January or February, and she was excited, but then for some reason she traded me last week. I am hooked. I love the keyboard. I don't think I could go back to phone with just a keypad, so I will be buying expensive phones from now on... but it will be worth it.
Pros:
Keyboard
Web Access
Ringer Volume
Vibrate and Ring at the same time
good AIM service
great speaker phone
Cons:
Can't use my own ringers
No bluetooth
numbers are a little too close to the screen
The cons are not that bad. We got it for $140 on ebay, and I would have paid retail. it is worth every penny. I can't wait for the Sidekick III, I will buy it right away.
needs a bit more flare
i am now on my second sidekick the first one i exchanged for the t809 now i have a sidekick and the t809. the side kick is a nice phone for the on the go person, i use every feature it has from the web to the organizer. sad thing is the fact that the features that come standard on all other devices and phones you have to pay for on the sidekick (alarm etc)
pros: nice screen love the way it swivels open, web and the speed of the web is great but could be better, other features are good as well ambi light is cool.
now for the cons: camera gets a neg 10 it is terrible even in well lit areas, no blue-tooth since this device came out after the discovery of blue-tooth it could have been thrown in, expansion chip, slimmer design (not like the razor more the depth of a half a deck of cards), 1.+ mega pix camera, customization (wall cheaper rings back display)
other then that its a good phone for the not so techni savy people out there not for you stick with the old school brick noki's
