Sidekick 3 box
Thanks to some quick shipping upgrade (left PA at 1am, got here around 7pm Eastern same day) I have a Sidekick 3 in my hands after all these months. Check out the obsessive compulsive unboxing photos here. What does everyone think so far?

    6. Faufrey Says:

      i like it.. the screen realy isnt so bad, ill get over it. the mp3s are easily uplaoded, the mp3 player is simple. i havnt noticed a difference in the web speed yet. it seemed a little flimsy at first but once i loaded the battery in it that helped.. the trackball(for me at least) was easy! and took no time to get used to. the camera takes good looking pictures when loaded onto the computer, kinda grainy when looked at on the sk3 screen, definate difference tho. other than that there is no sign of this so called “hipcat” that i have been hearing about, i went to the downloads and saw nothing, just the same ol’ stuff from the sk2. overall i like it…nahh i love it. i just hope they do more for us to get cool ringtones, the one they got now blow…

    7. AJ Says:

      i want to know if they charge you fee for each time someone contract you or just an one-time fee?

    8. Marcofromda510 Says:

      Yea you have to sign for it, I just called in and asked some questions, if you don’t catch them, then they take it back to your local UPS facility and you have to go pick it up. Call 1-800-PICK UPS and when the machine comes up juss say agent, when it says say one of the following options or so then just say agent again then they will connect you. Then they will tell you where your local UPS facility is. I hope this helps!

    9. AJ Says:

      I meant for ringtones. I want to know how much they charge? Also, if I get it, will they charge me a nominal fee for everytime i get contacted or just a one-time fee for using it?

    10. Marcofromda510 Says:

      Naw its just a 1 time fee, once you buy something its only that 1 time fee unless they say any different, that’s why you always read all the details before hitting the purchase button so you don’t run into any little surprises.

      I WAITED ON THE LINE IN NYC FOR THE SIDEKICK 3 AND AT ABOUT 1AM THERE WAS A GUY THAT WORKED FOR DANGER WHO SHOWED US HIS SIDEKICK WHICH HE HAD RECIEVED A LONG TIME AGO… HE SHOWED US HOW YOU CAN AUDIO RECORD STUFF ON THE SK3 FOR ABOUT 20 SECS…NOW I HAVE MY SK3 AND THERES NO VOICE RECORDER …IM PRETTY SURE THAT THEY WILL INCLUDE A VOICE RECORDER AND MAYBE SOME OTHER COOL FEATURES IN A FUTURE UPGRADE FOR THE SIDEKICK 3

    16. Albert D Says:

      Yea I got mine to, pretty nice after I got rid of my sk2 cause I hated it. Well anyway, I am EXTREMELY mad at the ringtone part and I am having a great deal of problems with receiving reception with the sk3. I called up T-Mobile, and the wait time is about 3 hours, who is gonna wait that long ?

    17. jre25 Says:

      I got mine today too!!!! I was at work at my baby called me sayin that it arrived!! The thing I’M HATING is that all my RINGTONES & GAMES aren’t on the SK3…… I HATE THAT!!!!!! I looked for TETRIS in the CATALOG and it isn’t even there!!! But overall I’m lovin my SIDEKICK 3!!!!!

      they left mine at the door. no signature required.
      i’m starting to wonder if it was worth the $400. biggest differences for me are: way faster internet, decent camera, and the MP3 player. btw is the screen really the same as the SKII? it looks slightly improved to me, pictures appear sharper in my e-mail and while web-browsing IMO. anyway, ya’ll really think the few extra features you have compared to the SKII are worth the price?

    20. mikez12006 Says:

      Hey for you who have your sk3 already does it have wallpaper cuz on the features it says it does. I don’t get mine till later today i checked online but it said it was at destenation scan and when i called they said it will be hear today the only problem is that i have to work so i hop it comes in the morning so you don’t have to sign for it and one more thing did a bill come with it or do you pay that with you next phone bill coming up if you already got your new one. PLease awnser back please

      From what I understand when you buy the same ones you already had there won’t be a charge, but I could be reading the message wrong. (there’s a picture of the message somewhere in those unpacking images)….

      Hi everyone this is my first post. I have been addicted to this site for months and i just got my sidekick last night. I am having some issues so anyone out there PLEASE help with your comments ….

      1) I could not get on any web pages last night. In places where my sidekick 2 worked perfectly I have no service and the connection is constantly closed. Everytime I try to go to a page the browser times out or I can only make emergency calls. That never happened b4 as often.

      2) Pictures – I’m pretty clueless with the whole memory card thing, I know it hold pics & mp3’s … but I deleted almost all of my pics in my album because it said I only had 1 pic remaining.. and it still says that. I deleted almost 15 pics and I still only have space for 1 more… ????

      3) Has anyone else noticed how flimsy the screen flips? B4 it was smooth and fluid, now its clunky and seems like it scrapes against the phone…am I crazy?… also my C button on the keyboard doesnt work unless i press REALLY hard ……

      4) Was I crazy or did they say you could download all of the apps for free that you had b4? Please tell me if I’m wrong but there are no ringtones or apps that I had b4.. I only found 1 game… And what is up with the download catalog??? The same **** from b4?? I was expecting maybe some new things for the sidekick 3. Am i the only 1?

      Any comments would be helpful. I love the way it looks – vastly improved. I have been waiting months for this phone and after spending over $300 I’m slightly concerned. Am I the only 1 with any of these issues??

    25. sparklystarbuddy Says:

      i’m pissed that my phone is still “authorizing” is there a way to make that happen faster???? my roommate set hers up in like an hour?!

      i did get to mess with hers, and here is what i am pissed about:

      where are all the downloads?! no aolmail, no time traveler, not nearly as many ringtones as before.

      i hope an update comes out soon.

    26. aaronx102 Says:

      i got my sidekick 3
      and it doesnt really feel like they made a huge change or anything.
      besides adding mp3, bluetooth, IR port, faster internet, and a 1.3 megapixel camera.. which most of the phones already have
      it doesnt feel like a sidekick3 but more like sidekick 2.5

    27. RyanK Says:

      I haven’t played yet much with mine… let it charge most of last night…

      My biggest complaint, and I haven’t seen much talking about it yet… is the keyboard.

      The SK2 keyboard being rubbery had a good feel and I would use the tips/nail of my thumbs to type on it. With the hard plastic keys, that doesn’t feel quite as right and it feels better using the pads of your thumbs, but I find that I’m pressing adjacent keys and I’m just not as quick with it.

      Maybe it just takes some getting used to… We will see…

    28. CkillaCkam Says:

      wowo my **** is ckommin today them ******* rescheduled the shippment

    29. Marcofromda510 Says:

      Shut up about it feelin like a sidekick 2.5, u already bought it and u knew wat the features was, so stop complainin.

    30. n64ssb Says:

      wait guys, when the sidekick 2 came out, everyone was calling it the sidekick 1.5, so now wouldnt the sidekick 3 actually be the sidekick 2 then?

    31. RainHerself Says:

      This is my first sidekick and i love it! it’s more addicting than myspace!

      only problem….THERE’S NO ALARM!?! WTF? This thing could save a small child from a burning building but it can’t set an alarm??? Now I have to go buy an alarm clock….bleh.

      Does anyone know if I can get all my ringtones from my old razr back???

      UPS made a “delivery attempt” but I went later that day and picked it up from the UPS pick up center which is open until around 9pm. it’s better than them leaving it at the door so someone could just grab it or not being able to reach you because you’re not home and then it gets returned to T-Mo (after 3 attempts). Just give UPS a call and arrange a pick up if you’re not sure.

      I just set a daily event called “Wakey” in the Calendar application. That works great because I can set it to repeat on weekdays only. And I have my SKII set to alert me again every 2 minutes if I miss a message, so that will usually wake me up if the alarm doesn’t. No need to buy Time Traveler. Can’t imagine it’s different for the SK3. I’ll find out either today or Monday!

    40. kathleen Says:

      Spiff Tiff, I’m having similar problems. I think I may have scratched my SIM card putting it in. I’m scared to pull it out though and check since that may scratch it more.

      Or maybe it has to “warm up”?? Who knows… my sidekick keeps timing out on sites like Defamer and Myspace which I always visited with no problems before.

      I’m hoping it works itself out.

    41. Drfred4lyfe88 Says:

      the web browser aint working for me right now but aim msn yahoo and everything else is working for me but sometimes i keep losing reception.. i didnt have that issue with the sk 2…i see people are having that issue anybody else ?

    42. sparklystarbuddy Says:

      if it is taking forever to authorize it- call customer care and make sure that you have the sidekick data plan added- mine didn’t have it, and that is why it wouldnt authorize!

    43. Drfred4lyfe88 Says:

      so u thing thats the issue sparklystarbuddy ?

    44. ghettoboi682 Says:

      to make calls and what not (if u have recption.) to bypass that activation all u have to do is hit menu+L (”3 line button”)

      also i have friends how have had problems reguarding battery life.. T-mobile say that if u do. u gotta charge it.. let it die.. then charge.. let die.. charge.. let die to “teach the battery to hold a charge”.. i didnt know a battery was smart enough to learn somthin.. lol

      well if u have ne problems u can always send me an email..

      ghettoboi682@aim.com i dont like to give out my tmail due to tha 6mb memory for it lol..

      i also hurd that they soon might be rasing the price for the 20.00 sidekick unlim.. when i talked to a rep he wasnt sure.. but he said it may happen.. so does ne1 know anymore than that?

      cus my cus who works in there corperate office said that on the 10th.. stores will only have so many.. because they order what they think they can sell.. so it might be a good idea for u to get there earily.. lol

      oh! i was also wondering…. did the mini SD card come with a adapter so u could put it in a computers SD slot?? cus i know it didnt with my mda. yet again that was a fake mini sd in it.. that way it would b easier to drop and drag…

    45. ghettoboi682 Says:

      hope you all bought insurance on them things cus i didnt with the sd2 and they changed there policy on the warrent exchanges.. i’ve had 8 sidekick 2’s b/c of software problems… n that was in less than 6 months.. haha.. one timei got one n it was all discolored.. they sent a defective one to me.. that was a ball bi***in them out over it.. gosh i love t-mobile

    46. Albert D Says:

      I’m about to sell my sk3 already. NEVER FKIN HAVE SERVICE !!! I couldn’t get on the internet today the WHOLE day. I call T-Mobile, and 3 hour wait, **** thatttt. Web browser sucks, can’t visit any sites. I see no1 mentioned that is feels and looks much smaller than sk2, I noticed that right away. I am REALLLY mad about the ringtones, I can’t add my own? WTF !!!! Lets start an online petition, I’m serious.

    47. Drfred4lyfe88 Says:

      the part about the online thing i called them they said theyre trying to working out the network system and will take about till sunday to get it running and also the applications havent been done to be compitable with the sk3 thats y u see almost nothing so give it time…i mean i am tempted to take it back but i dont know i will see wat happens in the next week..if not this bad boy is goin back

    48. ghettoboi682 Says:

      alottof people i know are having problems.. just give it a while im sure the networks are overwhelmed with all the new changes and it should work soon.. i know that my friend had that problem yesturday but today it was fine.. also remember that it may take up to 90 mins (or more) for all of your info to be put back on your fone (everytime u turn it on)..

      but i wish yall sum luck tho

    49. addloser182 Says:

      chiiing hopefully they have all that **** settled by july 10th when its my turn to get mine kekekee!

    50. ghettoboi682 Says:

      hey.. so i was lookin over at some sites.. and this thing came up.. talkeing about possible editions of the SK3 coming out in sept. (which i dont honestly believe.. but does sound like somthing t-mobile would do)

      heres the link: http://www.theinquirer.net/default.aspx?article=27969

      supposibly from a powerpoint leaked from t-mobile.. if u look at it’s picture.. it looks real but just about anyone make make one like that.. it think? but i thought i’d bring up a new topic.. lol

      talkin about how its going to support video.. UMA.. music (mentioned something about ipods)

      the road map also shows the “limited editions” coming out starting setp.-2007 ending with the sidekick NG which i dont really beleive.. but heres a pic of it

    51. aznbadboyz215 Says:

      i ordered mine like around 7pm wednesday…got it sometime on friday…but been chargin it for awhile already n itz still not done….been like 18 hrs….anyone having the same problem?

    52. thequor Says:

      I am so pissed!!!! My battery is dying after like 5 hours on the new sk3. I charged it all night and still happening. I called tmobile and the guy said this is already a big issue it looked like with calls coming in. What the hell!!! Pay all this money for a phone and they never tested the batteries!!! This sucks!!

    53. Albert D Says:

      BATTERY IS FKIN HORRRRRRRIBLEEEEE, can’t use the phone for a day even, gotta run home to charge it.

    54. g-money101 Says:

      man all the folks complaining about the apps and tones and **** like that, WTF! the phone aint even in stores yet! your privliged to have it! give it time. like when it comes out for the public! duh. how can he possibly have everthing and its not released so hold on to your gucci pumps and give it some time folks. GOSH!

    55. Drfred4lyfe88 Says:

      i will be fuking pissed if they release another sidekick after i bought this one and i hope the battery isnt true because i haven’t used it ever since i got it ..when i got it i used if for an hour and the browser wasnt working but now it works when i turned it on 3 mins ago

    56. ghettoboi682 Says:

      yea well TMOBILE is launchin there 3G network next year… And there supose to release a new Sidekick 3 that can use their new Network Wifi stuff.. there testing it in germany right now…. i think it’s going to be called the sidekick 3 (music + UMA (the network thing im talking about)

      but it shouldnt be out till next year.. they said way back when that its coming out in sept. but thats when they said the 3 was coming out in april… so add prolly 3 months onto that.. so it might be in just intime for christmas..

      but i think that that is REALLY low of them.. they should atleast make a OTA update that would let us use it.. now i think they are crossing the line of greedy.. but thats ok im gonna ask my cousin who works in the corperate office..

    57. ghettoboi682 Says:

      so is everyone still having problems.. cus i know i had bad battery problems n i called n they made me mess with the settings… it works great now.. before the battery lasted like 3 hours on a 11pm-8am charge

    58. thequor Says:

      on the battery I am still testing it out…I called and they said to do a hard reset so we shall see…ghettoboi do you remember what they had you change up to make it better?? I cant stand that this **** was dying after 5 hours

    59. ghettoboi682 Says:

      it was a battery disconnect… do you know how to run system diagnostics?

      first go to system info. then hit menu+****+d

      then u can do tests n see wat passes and what does not.. thn follow the instructions.. best thing to do is a battery disconect.. IT WILL TAKE ALL CHARGE OUT OF YOUR BATTERY SO PREPARE TO CHARGE..

      it should work good after that.. if not call them n tell them that u did a hard reset, bttery disconect.. and they might either send you a new battery or new device (depending on what’s wrong)..

      if you need more help with anything my email is bparrott03@yahoo.com

      (i dont want to flood my tmail lol)

      also check out http://www.hackaday.com/entry/1234000040025262

      aite i called tmobile up and they told me to send the phone bak for a new one but i kinda think it’ll b pointless if they all do the same thing or majority of them…they walked me through with the hard reset….n see wat happens….if it doesn’t fix the problem imma send the fone bak for a new one….to do a hard reset…remove ur sim card….hold the ‘R’ key on the key pad and put the battery and cover bak on….while holding the ‘R’ key….they opening screen will cycle over n over while holding the ‘R’ key…..then let go of it and remove the battery and reinsert the sim card n turn the fone bak on n see if that fix the charging problem….hopefully it fixes it….so i dont have to go through the hassle of sending it back…..shiet bs……
