    From the ID, to the LX 09, tell us what you hate and what you absolutely adore about Sidekicks. :cute:

    I love my Sidekick 08. It's really handy and I love the customizable shells. :tehe: I don't like how much it messes up, though... but restarting it or taking the battery out fixes the problem usually. Overall, it's a pretty amazing phone, and I definitely rec it. Wow

    I would love to own this phone. :cheese:
    But we don't have them here, well, that's a lie we do. We have the Australian version which is called a Hiptop.
    I'd buy one, but they're so expensive, the starting costs are seven hundred dollars. :cheese:

    Well in Canada there is no T-Mobile so you can't really get Sidekicks here. But my brother's friend like sells cell phones and stuff and he has a Sidekick 3 for $200. I've wanted a Sidekick for a very long time. I still want to Sidekick badly but my parents still won't get me cell phone service. When they do though I might buy the Sidekick, but I don't know.

    I have a sidekick, but I'm not sure what it's called. :tehe:

    I love my phone. I've dropped it several times and it still works!

    Sidekicks hate me.
    I've had two. [/spoiled] Both broke within a year. The second only lasted a four months.
    I don't know if I just bought shitty models, or if I'm just insanely irresponsible. But they just do not like me.
    I'm over sidekicks now. They are really expensive and other than the awesome internet they aren't much better than other phones. Plus they're gigantic and I found it hard to fit them in the pockets of skinny jeans.

    I have a Sidekick lx in navy blue and I love it. :brightside:
    I've had it for about a year now, and so far so good.
    I haven't had any problems with it. If I don't turn it off for awhile and constantly keep it on, everything will start to run slower, but that's really the only issue I've ever had. :think:
    Besides the crappy service, but that's t-mobile's fault, not the phones. :coffee:

    I might be the only person on the planet who doesn't really like the sidekick.
    Sure, it looks cool and all- but it's not practical for myself.
    I can get everything a sidekick can do in a smaller phone for less.
    It's cool to say you have, I just don't like them.
    Plus, I find the keys so hard to use.
    :XD

    My phone is like, my life. hahaha

    I have a sidekick 08 and I honestly think the sidekick is better than any phone out there. I could never not have one at this point.

    I love my sidekick lx,
    but man!
    The ball thing doesn't work as well as it should.
    It goes up and to both sides, but not down. At all.
    Sometimes it freezes up and it has days where it just sucks,
    but overall, I love my sidekick.
    I want to upgrade it to the new sidekick lx, the 3G one.

    Youtube videos!
    :D

    I had the Sidekick Lx and I lost that at Fiesta Texas.
    Then I had the Sidekick 2008 and that fell in the toilet at K-Mart. :tehe:

    No more sidekicks for me.

    Is anyone else's sidekick acting weird lately? Mine keeps blanking (deleting EVERYTHING stored in it and the time/date won't stay set).

    I had the ID cause it was cheap, and it was love at first text. XD
    The internet was good, and everything was so easy to do.
    Plus I had Sonic the Hedgehog part 1 and 2 on it<333
    I miss my sidekick.
    If I could, I'd buy a new one. :3

    I used to own a Sidekick 3 and then ended up with the Sidekick Slide... I don't know... I thought it was cool at first, but then I grew to hate it.

    I've had my Sidekick Slide (purple) since 2008.
    It's been a great phone. My only issues with it is that the little scroll ball isn't working anymore but after over 2 years of constant use, I'm not surprised it isn't working too well anymore. (It'll scroll up but it wont scroll down.)

    I've been thinking of just getting an upgrade to a newer model though.

    and I HATE small, skinny phones because the smaller the phone, the flimsier it is. I 've dropped this phone countless times and it's been just fine.
