I am getting it but waiting on more specs
April 15th, 2009 at 7:14 pm [ Quote ]
No thanks until next year.
April 15th, 2009 at 7:27 pm [ Quote ]
Need more specs, and info.
If it doesn’t come up to par with g1, I’m done.
Plus why would you pay $399, when the G1 is $170
April 15th, 2009 at 7:35 pm [ Quote ]
This is one of my MAIN concerns. I will be very skeptical if the new sidekick cost $300. I mean, the iPhone was only $200 for the 8gb and the G1 was only $180. I have a small feeling the sidekick won’t cost as much as it used to..I hope not at least.

Im afraid that the 2009 will do no justice4 me or the 2008. I think it will eventuall start2 act the same way…..with all that said………I will have2 pass on the sidekick09…..

I just got a freakin 2008 in march b4 I heard about this soooo I’m just gonna wait and see if the 08 gets some OTA with the new features (excluding 3.2 camera, GPS, and 3g). After this, I’m switching to a device that lets my plan run through b4 another type is released.

Here’s a question,since MS now owns Danger will we be able to use the free apps and more from Windows Mobile.They only do the 3,HTC Shaddow,Dash and the Wing.Well we know there’s The Shaddow 2 and other new ones coming to TMO.Get to what I’m asking will TMO and MS will let us use the free apps from Windows Mobile?

I’m not getting it only because I can’t afford to get one…. as much as I want one I can’t.
April 16th, 2009 at 4:31 am [ Quote ]
Hell yeah im gettin da sk 09
Its gona be da best sk out dis year
April 16th, 2009 at 4:45 am [ Quote ]
You can’t get those things thru an ota, gps, and 3g require hardware.
That like saying I wanna update my corollas engine to a corvette engine through an ota.
April 16th, 2009 at 5:19 am [ Quote ]
That’s true but couldn’t we get an ota for youtube or something. And plus tha thing said that facebook and myspace was free, so maybe we’ll be able to get it free…. or am I wrong?

Liking all I am seeing and hearing. Hoping that it has a better speaker than the current LX. That has been my major complaint!!
April 16th, 2009 at 8:32 am [ Quote ]
I said “excluding” those features. I know you can’t get those through OTA. Honestly, I can do without those. I don’t have 3G coverage in my area, I have a 12 megapixel digital camera, and I barely even use the Live Search App…very useful when I need it though.

SK’s are played out…. $400 phones and you gotta pay for every F’N thing… N what sucks is there’s No way around or some type of jailbreak.Not that I’m cheap or anythin because I got over $300 of apps on my iPhone but every single app is worth every penny I paid.If it wasn’t for the Social Networkin retarded teens maybe Developers will actually make better apps and games worth buyin… without recurring fee’s at that.I really don’t see this next SK gettin as popular as they used to be… Like really whats the 3G for? It’s not like Sidekicks can even do anythin that’ll require much data usage… Its stupif if its for the downgraded mobile youtube… Hiptop and wharp gotta step they’re game up they never come out with somethin worth an upgrade.T-mobiles also retarded for naming Sidekicks after years… Get creative WTF!

Disappointing. No Wi-Fi? No applications? And will the browser be as bad as the one on my SK3? I want the new version of Android phones, one that will look good and do everything and have a keyboard. Also a keyboard does ot prevent from having a touch screen.
But for that seemingly weak new Sidekick 09… I’ll pay $99.

this is weird. what happened to alll the sk love?? is it gone?? this site is stilll up so its not all bad. is it??
April 16th, 2009 at 2:31 pm [ Quote ]
Most likely not get it since it prolly wont be loud since they are still using the ear piece as a speaker and im sure the catalog with lame ringtones will stick around for awhile.
April 16th, 2009 at 2:32 pm [ Quote ]
^also to if its not 3G, im def not getting it
April 16th, 2009 at 2:45 pm [ Quote ]
What’s the point of having 3g without good applications that utilize it.
April 16th, 2009 at 3:12 pm [ Quote ]
After my 08, I’m no longer getting a sidekick….seriously…it’s disappointing after a while. But what would be REALLY great is an OTA and not only that, but maybe we’ll see those twitter and facebook apps for free in the Download Catalog pretty soon.

I’m taking a wait-and-see approach right now.
I still have a SK 3 simply because every other SK since then has been a rehash with no real new features. Yes, video on the LX, but whoopdeedoo. The ONLY redeeming factor of the Blade is the 3G, but it’s gonna make my bill skyrocket I know. =(
There’s just too much holding the Sidekick line back. Namely, being stuck using whatever Danger offers in their catelog, and having no options of using outside source products. Between the ringtones and the apps, they’re about 5 years behind other companies.
Personally, I’m on the fence with sticking with the SK, or just going nad getting a G1. (I’d hold out for a G2, but the lack of a phyiscal keyboard is a huge turnoff for me. Some people are looking forward to that part, it’s a deal breaker for me)
And naturally, still waiting to hear what the pricepoint of the Blade is gonna be. If it’s 300 w/2 year, then I’m out. Highest I’ll pay is 200, and thats pushing it.

im already on with tmobile. i dont qualify for an upgrade. im going to have to pay full price for whatever the thing costs. thats ok. im cool with that. but if they dont deliver than im going to pay that for something else.
April 16th, 2009 at 5:02 pm [ Quote ]
ummm….no…….there hasnt been a sidekick with a browser as weak as the sk3’s since……the sk3’s
April 16th, 2009 at 6:44 pm [ Quote ]
Anybody think this sidekick will have the revolutionary “pink” application, Its supposed to compete against the iPhone.
April 16th, 2009 at 8:03 pm [ Quote ]
OMFG!!!
im probablly one of the hugest sidekick lovers
i had a 08,slide,lx and hopefully i get the 09
i’ve already saved more than enough for the “kick”
soo first day!!
ill be transfering from a 08 to a 09!!!!!
but they should make more ways of protecting ur valueable “kick”
with more cases,protecters,e.t.c…
but yeah
im always checking this site daily
so keep up the good posting!!!

You would be a fool to buy this phone. It has no amazing features at all. Its like an sk08 with a tad of new features. A waste of money. Get it if you want but its not going to be worth it. I can already feel it.
April 16th, 2009 at 8:54 pm [ Quote ]
To those who already have the older sidekick plans you won’t be forced to change it to the newer data plans unless you want to.
Those who are getting the new sidekick as a new or old customer will pay for the data plans $24.99-$34.99.
Those who own BB’s and want professional email and so on will pay more for their plan unless you don’t go pro,you’ll pay for the price above.
So far TMO reps,do know now about the new sidekick but they only know what we know now.
I also ask if we will be able to use Windows Mobile’s free apps since they brought Danger,they said good question on that one.We shall see soon if can or can’t.

After looking at the pics it seems like the 09 is gonna be locked down by the catalog like the rest of the sk’s. They may give you some up to date apps but i’m pretty sure it will be one of those monthly apps you cant buy but keep paying for it. paying for youtube, twitter, myspace and facebook each month can cost alot.
Also it looks like the only theme you can customize is the jump screen after that, any other screen will look like a basic lx or 08. I would like to see actual moving graphics when you get a text message or call instead of the tmobile intro it has when you first turn it on… Does this have mood lights like the lx?

Where is the “Wish i could but to update to the New sidekick will cost me 419.99″ option. T-mobile is ridiculous the plans should not be 2 years and there is no way i should be beaten over the head with the price of this phone. Not only do they raise the price of the sidekick data plan which i will probably have to get if i upgrade my sidekick, they want to charge me what will be around 500 dollars after taxes. I wonder if the G1 plan is cheaper

Michael Wilson,if you read my previous post above explaining those who already own sidekicks don’t have to change their plans.
If you’re due for a new contract yes then you re-new it but if you don’t need to then you’ll pay full price-I know sucks and no longer 1 yr contracts.
All data plans are the same for g1’s,behold,memoir,etc..will use the 2 plans including the sidekick for newer customers buying it(older customers too who never had one,like me.)
With BB’s if you’re a professional and you want more data with it you’ll pay more than the 2 data plans.
The sale starts today until May 12th for regular loyal customers with a 2 yr contract.
Now don’t forget about the $18 upgrade charge-sucks for us but it’s for any upgrades unless you could sweet talk them,lol..
Michael,I hope this gives you a clear understanding of it all.
Regular price is $449.99 then to $249.99 to $199.99 with $50 rebate master/visa card-ooo,lol takes up to 8 weeks ain’t that some funny ****.
Have a good weekend everyone =)

I heard bout this new sidekick that’s coming out . I love sidekicks and I can’t wait until it comez out in stores .
My question is can people ore-order it ?
April 25th, 2009 at 9:37 am [ Quote ]
where the hell have you been? If you are somewhat intelligent you will see that YES you can pre order it.

My initial thought was to wait until I could actually mess with the LX 09 in person, but now I’m thinking that I won’t be getting it and will probably be switching to a G1. I really don’t want to, I love my sidekick and have been a loyal user since 05, but the fact that it is still closed source and we will have to pay for everything, well for appz and games, since there is a crappy ringtone recorder function, but we will still have to pay for these things, and the prices are steadily increasing-this is what is going to make me switch. I don’t really care about a touchscreen, but the free ringtones, apps, games on the G1 is going to make me switch. My sister just switched to a G1, and I just set it up for her, put her music and pictures on it, downloaded games and apps for free, man it’s just better, it pains me to admit that. I have an upgrade coming up in September, but I’m probably not going to wait. I think I’m gonna go get a G1 next weekend, so I can sell my LX before the LX 09 comes. Man, I really don’t want to, but the Sidekicks are not advancing enough in comparison for phones that are out and are the same price or cheaper. The G2 not having a keyboard is a deal breaker for me as well, so I’m going to go for the G1. Man and I’m gonna have to pay $35 for data.
My sis got the hook up on her G1 and the guy who did said that there is a touchscreen sidekick that is going to be released at the earliest in Dec of this year. I don’t know how accurate this is, but I figured I should just throw out there.

WTF man, im a loyal user since the 2, this phone used to be amazing, iv always been on the sidekicks side thinking this year it will finally get allot better and up to date, but naa their lagging, and im about to be done with sidekicks. this phone just is the last straw.
