Sidekick 2008 OTA
For those of you rushing out to get your Sidekick 2008, you may notice that you’ll get an update shortly after connecting to the T-Mobile network. That’s right, a 0 day OTA for the Sidekick 2008 to fix a few performance issues. There’s no official changelist as to what this fixes, but the word on the street is that Sidekick 2008s with v4.7/227383 are getting a “Temperature icon” that signifies overheating when they try to charge. The simple OTA will upgrade you to v4.7/231400 and so far we haven’t been hearing any reports of this overheating alert appearing. So if you’re new device is getting that weird icon, wait till your OTA is received before you run back to the store to return it.

I had a Sidekick 2008 that worked FINE for a whole year. Then I screwed it up on my own by dropping it into water twice. I did an insurance claim, got a “new” one (re-manufactured) and I was NOT able to access my call log, the phone book was EXTREMELY slow, and when calls came in, the contact name wouldn’t show up, then it would disappear, then it would pop up correctly, then go away again, then reappear correctly–ANNOYING. So I called the insurance company and told them, they agreed to send me a NEW phone and they did, the next day. The next day was TODAY and the BRAND NEW SK2008 has the same problem. I like the phone and the features, even if the phone is considered an old one. I’m giving the insurance company one more chance. If they don’t get it right tomorrow, then I’m going to have to spend money I don’t have on an upgrade. ANYONE ELSE HAVE THE SAME ISSUE WITH THE SK 2008??
