For me, reception is greatly improved, no more sudden drops.

Battery will take a week to test.

And people, please remember… It takes about a week for the update to FULLY work and all the stuff ike radio firmware to get good. Just a FYI

every since they announced this “OTA” my browser has been working incredibly well. I mean i still loose service every now and then but when i do have service it actually keeps me logged in to myspace and other sites for a long time, where as it used to make me logg in like everytime i clicked a link. also my net has been running faster. i dont know if this has anything to do with the “OTA” but i was just wondering if anyone else’s browsers were doing this.

Yeah my phone has been more compatible with different websites, especially MYSPACE. I stay logged on now for like 2 days… where such as before my server couldn’t last 6 minutes. Another thing my phone has improved in is where my phone would be locked, and on the key guard screen it would display that I have a missed phone call and new voice message, Where before it didn’t…so I guess TMO is fixing bugs without having to send a complete OTA…

Ill admit the camera on this phone is horrible. My girlfriends samsung t809 1.3 cam works great. My moto razr v3 (not v3i. I’m talkin about the 50 dollar razr) has a better cam than my sk3.

But the phone wasn’t really made for that. Its made for texting/instant messaging and some websurfing. The aim client is solid. Tell me one other phone that has a stellar aim client that doesn’t kick you off every 4 seconds or requires you to supdate your buddies. Also I haven’t found a keyboard that can keep up with my fast fingers like the sk3 can. This thing is on the money.

Not to mention it looks sharp, its pretty sturdy, buttons are great, call quality is good. Its a great device for sure

Y3A my point…b4 I got my sidekick 2 I had a phone with video cam and I didn’t care about losing it 4 a sidekick

I don’t think the sidekick 3 is a bad phone at all…sure the cam aint the best but..I don’t care about having the better phone Øf all my friends..I see the sidekick as a trend and I jus like it even when it didn’t have a cam….anyway happy 2 see the update is coming (maybe) well wonder if its gonna do more then fix the battery problems

Yesh I agree with pyro, the sidekick three is an excellent device, the sidekick 3 is one the coolest phones out there…I mean really, like who cares about a video camera, when u could browse the web, chat on aim/msn/yahoo all day long, etc. I mean even if we had a video camera.. How long would the battery last for?…LoL I mean the battery dies quickly without one…so image if we did?…but on a flip note I can’t wait for this OTA, I’m gettin tired of seeing my phone have a 382% charge..=]

I have one complaint about the sidekick 3 and that is that you cant record video on a sidekick 3. I mean every phone nowadays that have a camera have Video Camera. I payed 300 Dollars for this phone and people have Video on a phone that they paid 200 less. Thats is the only complaint. I mean the camera isnt perfect, especially in the dar but you cant expect digital camera quality on a cell phone. Hopefully that OTA would help out somewhere in that field.

fatboy
if your complaining about video
then why didnt you get a phone with video
you should have researched a phone that your gonna spend 300 bones on
also
