Gizmodo Talks to T-Mobile
Gizmodo was lucky enough to score a chance to chat with two T-Mobile execs, Sam Bell, senior marketing manager, and Jeff Folino, senior manager of product development for the Sidekick. They’ll be chatting about the Sidekick 3 and apparently taking some questions. The Skypecast will be at 4:30pm EDT today here.
Unfortunately we won’t be near a computer with Skype, so if someone can (a) record this somehow and/or (b) ask some questions for us, please let me know. admin@hiptop3.com

June 30th, 2006 at 1:59 pm
i think he meant “not exactly sure what all this is about though”
June 30th, 2006 at 2:09 pm
I want to ask him if there will be an update to allow video playback. Other than that I love my new SK3.
June 30th, 2006 at 3:01 pm
i tried the skype thing but i didnt get any results…i was able to hear things int he first room where he directed us to a high speed conference room but after i got there…i couldnt hear anything so after 2 minutes of hearing beeps and distant talking i just quit and deleted skype all together…hope someone else got something out of this session
June 30th, 2006 at 4:11 pm
it appears, due to some technical difficulties, they’re postponing this ?cast. doesn’t look like skype will be used, hence the ? in ?cast.

uhhh is there a necessity for your run on letters at the end of words?…aside from that sounds kinda messed up lol so much for “express” shipping eh? ill make sure to not choose that..either way i aint in THAT much of a rush…from the looks of it people who ordered regular shipping got theirs pretty quick also
June 30th, 2006 at 11:19 pm
I finnaly got my ups info and its coming on monday regular shipping paid off after all I saw a guy wit the sk3 when I went to see superman returns he was like he already dropped it and its broke LOL ppl should take better care of there stuff oh well I can’t wait till monday!
July 1st, 2006 at 6:44 am
i knew that would happen… i ordered mine while on my lunchbreak wednesday, did regular shipping and was very surprised to check the tracking info thurs to see that it was being delivered on the 30th, i thought i’d have to wait til july11th (that’s the date tmobile gave me) but im happy it’s here… too bad i gotta send it back!
July 1st, 2006 at 9:34 am
Why do u have to send it back?
July 1st, 2006 at 9:47 am
I orderd myn the 28th at 12:30am eastern time and got it at 2:00pm the 29th. Express shipping.

Does anyone know of any ringtone sites that are compatible with the SK? all the ones ive went to arent. the ringtones in the catalog are freakin gaaaaay!
July 1st, 2006 at 2:13 pm
cuz i ended up with a 2yr contract when i asked for a 1yr contract :-/ and since they can’t just “add-on” the charges i have to send it back and re-order it
July 1st, 2006 at 4:26 pm
no. no ringtones work cept the ones through the sk catalog
July 1st, 2006 at 6:56 pm
Completely unrelated to the SK3…
But if you like good music listen to Between The Trees. Their debut album comes out in September.

I’m replying to this from my sidekick 3 right now. I am pretty impressed by it minus a few things. None of the ringers I had previously transfered over and the new cataloge doesn’t have the ringers I had which really upsets me. Edge is super fast though and its about as quick to get through a website as it would be if I had dialup. Overall I love the interface, I just wish my ringers would of came or that they had a big cataloge like the 2 had.
July 1st, 2006 at 7:29 pm
Hey Nicole, My cousin is nagotiatin ghte contract for BETWEEN THE TREES.
I saw them at Olrando Warped Tour, they were amaizng.
July 1st, 2006 at 9:32 pm
I don’t understand all this texting shit. why would you spend fifteen mins typin somethin that you can call and say in 5 seconds. and you do it with your thumbs. nothin important comes from someone typin with their thumbs. Yall need to stop using nigga technology. if it don’t hook up to a printer than it is nigga technology. you want me to tell you why this sidekick does not hook up to a printer, cause niggas don’t have anything to print. lol. I get my sidekick on the 10th. (insert sad face here)
July 1st, 2006 at 10:29 pm
hahah i can do one! 🙁
July 2nd, 2006 at 11:20 am
texting is used when u cant use the phone ie. Movie theatre, Class, Work, boring conversation, doctors etc…. doesnt really matter if you get ur sidekick the 10th…as you wont be using it for the keyboard capabilities u could do without..until then use ur house phone 😀
July 2nd, 2006 at 4:15 pm
so i guess since everyone has the sk3 aint much more to talk about is there? lol…i aint seen no news in a few days…i wanna know when they will actually do a OTA and give us some new programs because basically its kinda the same except for a couple new things…im patiently waiting i guess lol
July 2nd, 2006 at 4:21 pm
you wont see an OTA for a very long time. im thinking at least a few months, maybe more. the product is brand new, they arent going to release an OTA that early, because they would have just put those features on the launch models.
AND NO NOT EVERYONE HAS THEIR SK3. I DONT.
waiting un-patiently until july 10th at 10am. 🙂
July 2nd, 2006 at 5:43 pm
Well I wanna know when the T-Mobile stores will have the new Sidekick cases in because I hate this eyeglass case that they give you.
July 2nd, 2006 at 6:08 pm
has anyone’s ringers transfered over? does anyone have a different catalog than me because I have about 1/4th of the ringers/games/applications than I use to have… I don’t even have time traveler for an alarm clock option on mine anymore (or the option to buy it)
July 2nd, 2006 at 6:32 pm
everyone has the same catalog, dont expect updates until its released in stores
July 3rd, 2006 at 4:39 pm
