Okay “ANONYMOUS” maybe there’s something wrong with your BRAIN. I’m a perfectly competent person that can assess a situation and logically come to a conclusion. Don’t talk about what you don’t know.

I realize that not everyone will experience the pain I felt when using the 09 sidekick, otherwise it would be a widely acknowledged problem…but nevertheless, it IS a problem for me. I didn’t imagine my wrist hurting, and it most certainly had never happened before my sidekick.

I can understand loving the sidekick and being loyal to it. I still love the idea of sidekicks and have been a major proponent for the awesome devices, the sad truth is though, that using it for a few weeks made me develop a sharp wrist pain because the keyboard was so much harder to type on than my old phone, a Nokia e71x.

What are you looking to sync Alessandra?

Email? There’s an app.

Transfer music? Do it via USB, like with the Sidekick.

Something else…?

I had to stop using my LX 09 a few days ago because I developed sharp wrist pains which I can only attribute to the terribly hard ‘09 keyboard. What were they thinking???
Anyway, after I stopped using it, my wrist pain stopped too.

U shud all drop the kick! Well, those of you who have the LX09 version anywayz. And if you DONT have the LX09 DO NOT UPGRADE! Trust me. Keep your 08s and Slides. That phone’s keyboard is a bust. The Motorola Cliq is the best! The features are amazing and the keyboard is bliss!! When these new Pink phones come out, I hope they actually LOOK like something as well as has an easy slip and slide button keyboard. Not like them sticky buttons on the LX09. Ugh!

Droid, that is interesting to know about the Google phone, but how do you sync your Android phone?

If you refresh your catalog, new versions of facebook and twitter are available to download on the original sidekick lx, sidekick 008, and sidekick lx09.

They work a lot better now!!

Thanks for letting us know! I’ve been waiting for a new twitter update! Maybe I’ll actually use it this time!

The only way you’ll see a “Sidekick” with Android is if T-Mobile decides to brand some other phone with the Sidekick name…like people think/thought they would for the MyTouch Slide.

Being that Danger is owned by Microshit, any Danger OS/skin will have Windows Mobile.

So, enough with the “Android Sidekick”…

@Alessandra

What makes Android so great is its open. There are tons of free apps, thanks to the thousands of developers in the Android Market. And EVERYTHING is customizable. Don’t like your wallpaper, simply change it (just change the pic, not like with the Sidekick where you have to create a theme and upload it via USB). Don’t like the OS skin? Change it (though that is slightly more complicated).

And, my personal favorite, there is an app that allows you to personalize text tones per person (like Ringtones, only for texts)!! I’ve been dying for a program like this, and now I have one on my DROID thanks to Android!

I loved the Sidekick (a user of 6 years), but it’s over. RIP Sidekick, you will be missed.

Having a window sidekick will crash and have a lot of bugs
