I fixed it for you

"a phone is a phone" Coming from the #2 android rider/iphone hater on this board.

This guy....

When the @%+! did you ever see me specifically posting Android is God or the iPhone sucks? If you know me like you think you do, you'd know I love Nokia and Symbian. @%+! outta here.

The fact you were the first to bring up the iPhone says a lot.

It says nothing except the fact that you're associated with iphone/android jawing going on in other threads.

... and you come in here and tell people "its just a phone buy what you like"

efff outta here, clown.

 

[limitedretroog]

...Those are debates on what I believe is better. That doesn't mean I'm gonna go, "Don't buy the iPhone!!!!!" You're the clown for taking my posts out of context.p

[h1]T-Mobile Sidekick 4G Video Hands-on: Great Keyboard, Funky UI[/h1]

---

March 22nd, 2011 by Brian Oliver Bennett 



Here at CTIA 2011, we were treated to some hands on time with the upcoming T-Mobile Sidekick 4G. This iconic messaging device continues the storied Sidekick legacy with a very familiar look and feel but also adds the power of Android to the mix, all for $99.

Those who rocked older Sidekicks a few years back should definitely find that the new version carries the torch well. Now built by Samsung, the latest incarnation boasts access to T-Mobile’s 4G data network plus all the powerful apps that Android 2.2 offers. Running a 1GHz Coretex A8 Hummingbird CPU, the phone felt responsive to us. The Sidekick 4G features an excellent keyboard with solid, clicky feel; a sturdy spring-loaded hinge, and a revamped UI.

The demo unit we saw lacked a network connection, so we couldn’t verify download speeds. Even so, it’s a slick handset, and heavy texters will appreciate features like group messaging.Check out our video for a closer look.

[limitedretroog]

Oh, it's only gonna be $99? I retract my post. I say go for it.

My 9780 been giving me headaches. 

It freezes after getting messages, among a whole bunch of other little things that add up to the frustration when its happened a bunch of times.

Depending on the specs, I'll check this new SK out. 

 

[lanzer23]

Looks good.

Neat phone, none the less.

 

[toliveanddieinnj]

Looks so thick, and outdated. Ehh is you like go for it.

 

[ryanbbn23]

hmmm. interesting.

i loved my old sidekick. would shoot these long texts to someone, and would instantly get hit back with: how u type that so fast?

 

[limitedretroog]

The jump screen looks like Windows Mobile...

[limitedretroog]

^So, it's basically a G2.

Idk, I've always considered The SK as a highschoolers phone.... no matter how many features it has

Once you tag the SK name to a phone, its going to have that stigma.
Essentially its just another Android phone. Cant beat the keyboard.

Not my cup of tea...
