  • I used to have this in 2009. Got it from a relative in the US. I am in the Philippines. It's just call, text, music, photos, notres for me. I didn't mind the Internet use for it as I rely on ny desktop for surfing the net back then. I didn't try WiFi (if thay's possible) as well. I used a universal SIM chip to put it under my local network's SIM card. I love the camera as it was fine during that time.

  • Basically you should receive the setting directly from ur network provider which you can save. But for most of the mobiles it doesnt work out; try to add manual settings for GPRS connection. Call CC and ask for manual settings and add the details in network settings.

  • Hello everybody in the House! My name is Kareem Taofeek, I have been experiencing a screen problem with my phone (Tmobile sidekick)If i should i should put it on the screen will atimes blank or not even display attall. please i need an assistance and moreover what code should i use to to unlock the phone. waiting to hear from you soon. Thanks

  • YES YOU CAN MOST LIKELY GET FREE AIM ON THIS PHONE!!! I got free aim on my old motorola phone. It is text message aim. I got unlimited texts for t-mobile so its pretty good. You dont have to pay for the data plan, UNLESS you want to use internet and email and yahoo/MSN. Of course the sidekick data plan aim is a bit more comfortable, but its the same aim. all you have to do is send a blank message to 246246 (aimaim) From there its easy, you just have to sign in.It will tell you how.

  • Hi , i live in ireland and i want to buy a sidekick but im afraid that i wont be able to get it unlocked, and even if i get it unlocked im afraid it still wont work , ive also heard that when you take out the battery you lose all your contacts and messages .. is that true ? ive heard of people living over here that have gotten it unlocked i just want to make sure before i spend my money, if someone could please answer me my email address is [email protected]. Thank you.

  • the problem is not just in unlocking. the issue involves configurations of Philippines mobile company that u r planning to use. You have to make sure your local wireless provider have settings. If they don't, that means the best thing your unlocked phone would be able to do is to make a call, check voice mail, and listen to downloaded music. There will be no internet connection, no sms/mms messages and no chatting such as AIM, MSN etc. PLZ, call your provider before your sis spent money on bying it and unlocking your sidekick. if u have questions about this device, feel free to ask me, my email: [email protected]

  • yes

  • hi. i`m from the Philippines and i`m planning to buy t-mobile sidekick. can this be unlocked here?whats important is that i can just call and text and send pictures. please reply to this comment. i need it badly. thank you so much!

  • hi. i`m planning to let my sister buy me a t-mobile sidekick. can it be use here in the philippines?thanks

  • When your sidekick loses power, and your contacts, music, videos, etc loses too, dont worry, coz it will be placed back in a brief moment. If in case this happens, call customer care and be xferred to sidekick dept for assistance, Copy important infos on your memory card alsofor better protection.

  • sidekick phones are exclusively for tmobile subscribers only, which means it can only work with a tmobile simcard. Unlock code is not available for the phone as well.

  • l want it with all the dstv channels send it at 8pm.send it today

  • this is a very nice phone..... but it cant work where i am.. well not that good i live in jamaica and i cant access the internet how dumb is that!!!!

  • Could you tell me wich software to manage my sidekick 2008. Thanks for all.

  • Could you tell me wich software to manage my sidekick 2008. Thanks for all.

  • is this can access to the net easely ?

  • is this can access o the net easely

  • Terrible Terrible Terrible phone. Id reccomend a gravity over this because you dont have to pay for the data package and it has a full keyboard. Why would you make a phone that if it losses power you lose everything?!? Goodbye contacts, music, pictures, call log, messages, and everything else, plus you cant bluetooth any other device. The G1 or any blackberry is better than a sidekick simply because of initial price and the price to run it is the same, However you get a whole lot more. Grade F-

  • this is a awesome phone

  • yea mine has done that alot and sending it in does nothing because they all do it

  • I like this phone, and i knew about it but i wish i get the same thing for free

  • Sharp is very good, but this model is not a high-end device, Sharp can produce VERY HIGH-END phones, with 8, or 10 Megapixel camera, big screen, Symbian OS. I hope I will see a super phone in Europe like in Japan, exemple Toshiba want to expend to the world it's super phones.

  • may i get a free sidekick

  • this phone i s pretty sas he;; yall is it something wrong with it cause i see a lot of bad ass comments

  • uhmm yes, i have a sidekick 2008. its shut off, freezes, and all my stuff delete all the time. like i rally want to know what's up with that? T-mobile, yall need to get ya selfs together and get this fixed or there's gunna b many complaints coming your way.

  • Pros: Can customize your own themes and shells. Doesn't break very easily. Cons: MUST buy your own ringtones, web service is slow, gets crappy reception, doesn't always ring/alert when it should, sometimes shuts off on its own, freezes too much. Other comments: I would recommend looking for something different than this phone. It's not even worth the T-Mobile contract price. Worst phone I have EVER used!

  • It says that videos are playable in MP4 format. This is in-correct as the only videos playable on it are .3GP

  • And why would you ever pay $600 to replace a phone that you don't like lol fail

  • You only need it replaced if you're stupid with it. I admit its not a good phone, but being replaced 6 times is a user problem.I've had mine for 6 months and had no such problem. If you cant end the call you don't know how to hit buttons. There is a problem with the web browsing, and it cant handle doing things simultaneously, quiet speaker volume, and i don't like that the unlock code is only capable of being 3 numbers long, very hackable.

  • :/ It bothers me how much this phone is favored, even though I personally don't like it. It's too...un-self customizable for me.

  • its a piece of crap, i have had mine replaced 6 times and its the same ole problem, it will go in silent mode with out warning and you will miss a lot of calls. web browsing isn't that good either. its hard to end a call most of the time you think you have ended a call and it doesnt. the web browsing isn't that great either. each time they replaced my phone for "free" they charged $600 to my bill and in the end i hade a $1800 bill it has taken 4 months just to get a few refunds and im still waiting on them to credit the rest of it so buy this phone at your own risk

  • want to know when or is it comming out in the uk? the sidekick slide was discontinued over here, i have been waiting so long to get one.

  • no i dnt know wen it is available in uk cuz i liv in uk and hav been dying for it 2 cum out 4 time

  • r u the jake t austin from TV...and yes the sidekick has good music quality

  • dont tell me you luv this phone because i dooooooooooooooooooo so buy your selphone right now i meanit buy

  • this phone broke down so, I used magic to fix it. [DONT TELL ANY ONE]But the phone's music is awsome.SWEEEEEEEEEEEEET.

  • ehh so in this phone u need to buy songs instead of downloading it free from the computer by using a cable?

  • Ehhh... I loved it when my friends got it first, I got it about 2 weeks ago and i wish I got the G1 instead. The sidekick is not customizable, you have to buy all the ringtones and themes and at 2.49$ a ringtone, and 2.99$ for a theme, it's pretty pricey.

  • yes, you can design your shells and order them. look at: www.sidekick.com/shells

  • Does anyone know if this phone has changeable shell? Can i customize the shell with this phone?

  • i know, i live in europe and i never see them!!

  • is this better than the lx?!

  • Verry common for you maybe, here, in Europe, they are rare, extremly rare... ;)

  • would be better if there's WLAN and if it's 3G.

  • it's a very common phone. very... very common.

  • favourite phone in america

  • the camera of sidekick is 2 megapixel

  • the os is boring

  • its bad

  • Does anyone know when it will be available in UK???

  • the camera is 2mp
