I would purchase a smartphone of some type. Sk08 is a rip off I expected more from a sidekick its just a step up from a flip phone. Good upgrade from a basic cellphone.

Price all depends how long you've been a tmobile customer. I've had the phone for a year and two months. It's awesome if you like texting course cuz it has the full keyboard and I've read complaints about they keys on the phone? I think they're fine. Yes it is smaller and thinner so I find that better. I wouldn't really get this phone if you're a guy I don't know why but I just don't seem to see this as a guy phone because to me it seems more of a feminine phone. Speakers are nice and yes there's a music player. Camera is good and I don't know about the video cause I really don't use it. The IMing is nice. The Internet isn't all that great but I mean common it's a sidekick. Talk time isn't that great, battery runs out pretty quick. So definitely not for any buisness person. It's a good phone mostly for texting I say. But I've had issues with it. It takes a while to start up when you turn it off and back on, Im not too fond of the battery life and a while ago I had to exchange it for another because the trackball stopped working completely and now with the one I got for my old one it rarely eve works. It says I have no signal but that's not true cuz I tested it around other tmobile phones and they worked fine and the phone will keep showing no signal unless I take out the battery and sim and place it back in but now that's not even working so I exchange it again and see if it's my phone or just the sidekick in general. Honestly, I don't recomend switching to SK08 or buying one. Alright uhmm Im a current owner of the SK08. Price all depends how long you’ve been a tmobile customer.

Trackball problems, I have had to send the phone back time and time again. My sound is now going out....idk wth is going on but I have had enough. My hands are small, so this phone was not a good idea, after prolonged use (almost having a year) my hand cramps up all the time even when I am not using the phone. I am reay to get rid of it. My emails do not always come through, or my calls. I am not sure if this phone gets bad reception or if it is just Memphis and TMobile are not the best for call signal?? Either way I am in the market for a new phone. And...yes this ohone can be very slow with internet. Had a lot of calls dropping as well, but got a new sim card, that seemed to change things a bit. My backlight on keypad has also gone out. :-( The 2008 Sidekick….

I had it since it came out and all I get from it are problems. Its not worth the hassel or the money. I wouldn't recommend anyone buys this phone. Smh what rip off.

I my self own a gekko it is a good phone. But i had better cell phones that was able to do more with like getting free ring tones in game downloads. But if you ask me save your money or get a unlocked pda of some kind.

great review, but you completely forgot a very important point.. SOUND QUALITY. many people suffer from the LX’s pathetic speakers, and so calls in noisy areas are hard to hear clearly. is the gekko any better??!!
