August 11th
What’s going to happen on August 11th? www.sidekick.com says to check back for more on August 11th. We haven’t heard anything about what this means. It may just be goodies on the websites, more flash fun or something. Maybe they’re releasing a Game Boy emulator? Or just an OTA? Some people are speculating video playback, although we doubt it. What do you think?

Please consider reading:
Okay. I didn’t know where to stick this comment. So I think here will be good.
I ordered a SK3 on June 28th and it came 2 days later.
I’ve been playing around with it and stuff and I love it, no lie.
But there are some “iffy’s” about it: Like the buttons on the side. The Menu, Jump, X, and Return; I was kind of dissaponited that those don’t light up. You can bearly see the print on them, and at night you see nothing. But after a while you know which key is which.
With that said, is it me..or does it seem flimsy. I’m afraid to drop it because i think it’ll break into pieces, as with the SK2, I dropped it down concrete stairs and it was like a tank, little scrathes here and there and little dents but it never died on me.
The keyboard is kind of weird (a matter of getting use to I guess), but for me the SK2 keyboard was more comfortable and easier to click. With the SK3 though the letters and numbers etc. won’t rub off on you after 3 months of use.
Opening the screen: on the top right hand corner, near the Menu button, theres little tiny scratches from opening the screen. Annoying. And when my screen is closed, it’s almost like my screen doesn’t want to fit into it’s place. It’s a little wobly and doesn’t really line up the the shoulders. And I have NEVER dropped my SK3 for the couple weeks I’ve had it. So I have no idea why it is doing this.
And when the screen is open, it’s still wobly. Maybe mine is defected. Hope not.
Battery life sucks. Plain and simple, no arguments.
I charge it almost 2 times a day. I take it off the charger at 6:30 in the morning, and it lasts me till 5 in the afternoon with 2 bars left. It could be better, but I guess with all the applications running and stuff it kind of strains the battery life.
Camera sucks at night. It’s a little weird at first.
Over all, the phone itself is great, and I use it 24/7, seriously non stop. And I put it to great use. This is just my personal opinions on it.
Hope the SK4 will be A LOT better, and more advanced from the SK2 and SK3 since they both have a lot of similarities.
Thank you very much for your time, and if you read all this, thank you.
Take Care,
Matt.

does anybody know if u have a prepaid sk3 do u still get the ota?
July 17th, 2006 at 11:03 pm [ Quote ]
A gameboy emu would be dope. Playing some mario vs donkeykong. I bet aug 11th will just have more stuff added to the catalog. Stuff like more aps and ringtones that weren’t available on the sk2.
I don’t think prepaids can get ota’s. Its about the contract not the phone. I’d call 611 on that.
In reply to matty my sk3 feels the same. The flimsy screen/screen not fitting in place really bother me and scratches get to me on my phone. I messed with my buds sk2 and that one feels so much more sturdy.

my battery is perfect. it has been since i got it a tmobile store last week. i think it was the 12th.. anyways.. mine isnt flimsly.. it fits great when the screen is closed. it opens great… i have no complaints what so ever. mine doesnt take long to load, nor freeze so i think you may have a defect. i take mine off the charger around 7 am and it lasts a good 12 hours or more of constant IM’in and some music.. and web browsing… few calls.. i love it.. it is soo much better than the sidekick 2!

i honestly think it is more flash on the site. Because you dont get the egg **** from the features.. you get it from the hidden ****.. it said come back to see more hidden stuff.. so i htink there just adding more flash b/s to it.. but you never know it may be sumthin..

Prepaid gets a OTA to, u still have the phone shouldn’t matter on the contract.
July 19th, 2006 at 8:50 am [ Quote ]
whats a OTA?
July 19th, 2006 at 9:43 am [ Quote ]
over the air update.. it send the update to your fone.. instead of downloading it from the internet then installing.. it takes about 5 mins to do.. and if u mess with it.. it can mess up your fone big time
July 19th, 2006 at 9:47 am [ Quote ]
Hopefully it’ll be that matter transporter.
My friend works at tmobile and he says the phone has the technology it just needs the OTA to activate it. BUT he said its only on the chosen phones that are marked with the secret symbol only attainable with the magic light.
BWHAHA.
But seriously. I agree with b-easy. Its more than likely site eastereggs or maybe some kind of announcement.

That would be cool….yet sad………
Anyways i think it is gonna be more junk on the site

i say we all forget about the eggs and talk about something worth time.. lol.. so how is everyones sidekick doin?? mines great
July 19th, 2006 at 1:17 pm [ Quote ]
I doubt that they will allow us to load personal ringtones, they will loose too much money, I personally download on average 2 ringtones a month. The battery life sucks!!!!! I charge my SK3 Overnight and immediately after I take it off the charger in the morning it is at 93% !!! about 1pm I only have 2 bars left. WTH???

the SK3 is a lot tougher than it looks – I accidently tossed it down a flight of stairs while listening to Welcome T o Jamrock and it didn’t even get scratched. I had a coronary though . . . X_x

Mines been ok. I LOVE the sound quality on the mp3 player when its running through the headset.
I am worried about the track ball, I don’t think it’ll withstand the tests of time and tmobiles going to get a lot of sk3s back. Thank god for that 4 dollar a month insurance!
July 19th, 2006 at 3:35 pm [ Quote ]
u got insurance for 4 dollars amonth?
July 19th, 2006 at 3:37 pm [ Quote ]
wat is the transporter?
July 19th, 2006 at 4:04 pm [ Quote ]
Yea its like 3.99 extra a month or whatever and my phones insured. I’ve had this service about 1.5 years ever since I had a sk2.
The matter transporter was a joke hha. It was spoofin everyone who says ‘bla bla I got a sk3 for free and its all neon green cause my friend works for tmobile’. Its such **** cause I know people who work for and at tmobile and they’re not even allowed to have an sk3 with them they all take their ugly phones to work.
I’m not sure why but that’s the deal. Anyway how is some joe schmo going to get some deal/special sidekick from their tmobile friend when that person can’t even use their sk at work? Psh. Shananagins.

The term “Easter eggs” is programmer jargon which means hidden features in a program.
A perfect example would be the snowborder game. That would be an “easter egg”
Nothing huge is going to happen on August 11th. Just some added **** to the website.
See urbandictionary.com http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=easter+eggs
“Easter Eggs are hidden links or files coded into software or websites.
In the end, they are useless gags that programmers include for fun.”

3rd post has a link to a picture of some image on a sk3 and I have come to the conclusion that it is Mega Man.

Bape, its a two year….another thing…has anybody gone into the owner’s manual website on the phone? If u go to the compose a mms, it says that u can record voice ringer for it and also break the pixs into slideshows…I’ve tried doing that and searching for it but had no luck…is it only my phone or is it one of those other things tmobile blocked?

I think its prety dumb to release a phone and two or three months later, throw in a special edition or even the suppose sidekick-razr…I mean people went so crazy to buy it the first day it was released(I include myself) u swear that, or at least in my case, I am or other people gona go buy the special edition after just getting the first released for $299, $349 and even $499…I mean they should at least say something in advance…just in case ppl wanna wait a little longer for the color one or whatever
July 24th, 2006 at 8:41 am [ Quote ]
depends. its 299 before tax and 35.00 activation for a 2 year, and 349.00 beforetax w/ 35 activation fee for a one year
July 24th, 2006 at 11:56 am [ Quote ]
In my case $327

I love my sidekick don’t get me wrong but on top of not being able to use ur mp3s as ringtones, they give you a lousy limitation of 10 freaking ringtones….that prety dumb looking at the fact that they blocked certain apps to save money….*news flash* the more ringtones downloadable…the more people buy…….. especially on the sk3 since they removed all the free rt from sk2…at least raise the limitation to 20 if they’re not gona let us use our mp3s….about the sidekick3 site…I read the thing and if u read carefully… it says come back on Aug 11th to unlock more party secrets or something like that….its for the site not for the phone….hopefully I’m wrong
