IMO, I think anyone who buys this is either a dipstick, or not interested in having a newer phone. (i.e. the Sidekick ‘09).

@ Nicole.

No, when you get a new Sidekick, you will lose all ringtones and applications. I actually had to re-purchase stuff 3 times. On my iD, 3, and current LX.

Your apps will NOT transfer over. You’ll need to buy them again. That’s the part I don’t like about upgrading the SK. It’ll be my 3rd time =(

I don’t think you apps and everything will trade over hut I’ve only had a sidekick iD and then I got an iPhone. I’m swiching back to the sidekicks when the blade comes out…. or I might want to wait for the rumored touch screen sidekcik.

Now I have a question… I’ve only ever had one Sidekick and when I got this one I was like “I hope they get a 3G SK soon”…

Will all my apps, ringtones, etc. transfer over to the new SK when I get it – or will I lose it all? (If I’m gonna lose it all, I’ll just not buy anything ’til the new one comes out.)

Man why would anyone ever even think of saying tha 08 is better than the 09? That’s impossible since tha 09 is a super upgraded version of the sidekick. The 08 doesn’t even compare to the 09 when it comes to feautures.. Throughout the sidekicks each fone just improves. There might be MINOR removals to tha 08 such as no flash but hey, flash never really helped on the lx pix juss madde them so bright u cud hardlty see what the picture was.. The 09 will have a high def screen+ way better kamera.. Not to mention all the new goodies they decide to throw in there… each sidekick is unique. The lx had the bigger screen, the id gave people the opportunity to have ana mazing txting device without it being so expensive (as like many other people I started off with an id until I racked up enough $ for an lx now I have tha 08), tha slide had the “slide” feauture, the 08 has the shells + it’s a mini version of tha lx but its a lot faster. If u choose a fone just because it loox tite but it has minimal capabilities.. Ur amking a stupid decision. Why wudnt u juss choose the fone with all these better upgraded + new geautures that make up for how the fone loox.. The id is a perfect example.. It isn’t the best looking fone but it takes care of business.
