I have the G1 its closest to a sidekick to me i left the sidekick back when the Lx was the hot stuff because the Android was so new and mysterious and i couldn’t help my self. So i bought a G1 and fell in love. I’ve since returned to a sidekick when the 2009 came out to see what it was about and see all the “change” it made from an 08. the sidekick Lx 2009 had one to many crashes for me and all in all just didn’t feel new enough it still had that same childish sidekick feel ( Real sidekick users that switched and then went back know what i mean ) that I’ve come to hate since using the G1. the sidekick still has a way to go before it can be up with pretty much all android devices.

Ok…I’m confused…

Perhaps I’m missing something, but the last several times (and currently in a seperate tab) I’ve checked Verizon plans, I see a “Connect” plan that has 450 mins, unlimited text, MMS, and data for $69.99.

Having never been a Verizon customer, or had any chats with any Verizons associates, I cannot say whether a ‘data plan’ needs to be added to partake in the Droid, so clearificated would be appreciated. Though I may go check it out tomorrow for myself.

You have the Connect Plan, which is good.

However, just like the Sidekick, if you want to use data, you have to add on a SmartPhone plan from Verizon Wireless. That allows you to browse the web, download from the App Store, etc.

i really used to be a die hard sk fan
but right after the release of the sk slide
my eyes were completely open. went back to my iphone and then from there the g1 then back to the iphone lol and now the mytouch3g.
i just really realized how FAR behind the sk is technology wise…sure theyre kinda catching up now but i mean come on!
also the fact that u have to pay for every single thing on that phone…aside from themes, nice little touch to be able to make ur own ringtones and not pay out the a** for it.
still makes me sad to see that M$ is basically running sks/danger into the ground so im sure they wont be around much longer
but ill always have a special thing for em

I already gave up on my hiptop (sidekick) in Australia after Telstra decided not to offer the 2009, a couple of system crashes and slow slow data speeds. Changed to an iphone 3GS (great apps, terrible battery life) and a new HTC Hero for work.

Both platforms work well, there are free apps that are useful, and the layout can be customised!

I guess they’re gonna sell the last little bit of sidekicks for DIRT cheap! Not a good phone to invest in if you plan on taking it the long run….

Ugh. Ever heard of Even More Plus???? Its this new thing going around. You know. $79.99 and it gets you unlimited everything with no contract. Just a lil PSA. Hope it helps you.

Umm … I am paying my new carrier $30 for my data plan … the exact same price as I paid t-mobile. Plus it is 20 cents/min for any voice calls, unlike t-mobile which jacked it to 45 cents during this mess. I am paying them 7$ a month more for optional insurance …. but I never had that option with my SK or I would have bought it gladly.

No, I am not going through verizon. They restricted their data-only plan to the ‘chosen few’ corps the week the Droid was released.

Wtf is wrong with you people? I can see you leaving the sidekick as a brand but T-mobile has the cheapest plans of any carrier out there. And the Droid???? Are you serious?? Have you guys seen the Nokia N900 or the HTC HD2? Enjoy getting ripped off at Verizon. Im copping the N900 in a week. So long Sidekick!!!!

People can’t read Kanye, didn’t you know that? Or more like it people can’t accept reality, can’t accept things change, good things don’t last forever, and not just with the Sidekick.

But more importantly Beyonce has the BEST MUSIC VIDEO (and Android device), give it up! I’m sure Kanye agrees with that! Can I get a hollar out?
