Reviewed by: diamondnicole

Duration of ownership:

Strengths: Easy to use, multi function, web access, love the key board and display

Weaknesses: No Mp3 player but the sidekick 3 is coming soon and it has one. Can't change font size

Overall Evaluation: Granted this review may seem a little late since the sidekick 3 is just around the corner but I saw the low reviews and had to put my 2 cents in. I received this phone last year after my Motorola A630 broke on me like 3 times I told them to send the sidekick or blackberry the rep and I decided on the side kick. I had to laugh when I first got the phone because it did so much but didn't have a calculator or alarm clock. you had to download them which takes away from your 100 available blocks. the calculator is free but time traveler isn't. I LOVE the fact the email accounts are synced too my phone and I can reply to anyone anywhere using my regular account instead of my tmail account and since the sidekick doesn't get viruses i can also recognize a problem email before opening it on my computer. The catalog is very good they are updating it with useful things all the time they even have a study aids section for students. I don't like the fact that I can't really listen to music they way I want but that problem is being fixed. I LOVE the fact that everything (but text messages) is backed up on-line in case anything happens to your phone you can just sign on to your tmobile and have access to your emails, notes, photos. I wish all phones did this. my mother has carpel tunnel and hated trying to respond to us via txt I got her the SKII and you can get a old of my brother and I much easier. he still has the sidekick color. I had to replace my phone once and that was just recently after having it for about a year it was having network communication problems and I was able to get to all my info on-line so it wasn't that bad. I can't wait to get the newest generation of sidekick
