Sidekick 3 MP3 Player is SonicBOOM
pandemic nailed the name of the Sidekick 3 MP3 player in only the 2nd comment. That’s right, according to the manual the MP3 player on the Sidekick 3 is named SonicBOOM. Based on the manual page we obtained, it’s no surprise that the miniSD card is going to function as the storage for your MP3s, and will show up as a removable drive on your PC. Luckily no extra software, or DRM codecs or anything to install. Just copy the MP3s over, unplug, and play! With the recent release of 2GB miniSD cards (which the Sidekick 3 can hopefully handle), you’ll be able to carry approximately 500 MP3s. And if you downsample the MP3s, you’ll be able to squeeze even more on there. Just don’t forget to leave some room for pictures taken with your 1.3megapizel camera. Looks like Danger is really listening to one of the top demands users had after the Sidekick II came out!

I wonder what are the actual step to downloading mp3’s onto a miniSD card?
May 29th, 2006 at 8:51 pm
Seems easy enough. I guess im gettin rid of my ipod. I dont use all of the 30 gigs anyway…
BTW… What else juicy is in the manual? Like what are all the specs. Video capability?

Ha. Picture messaging was my top demand, but I’m definitely not getting picky, particularly with this news.
Excellent find, Hiptop3.com.

May 29th, 2006 at 9:42 pm
It does have picture messaging right? I thought it did.
May 29th, 2006 at 9:50 pm
Wow! Great job! Sounds amazing!
May 29th, 2006 at 10:18 pm

May 29th, 2006 at 10:40 pm

🙂
May 29th, 2006 at 10:42 pm
…I haven’t heard anything about picture messaging, but I really, really hope it allows for it.
May 29th, 2006 at 10:53 pm
sounds easy enough, with my last phone i had to download programs and all types of difficult stuff
May 29th, 2006 at 11:18 pm

May 29th, 2006 at 11:23 pm
pieces of the manual is suspect…post the whole thing
May 29th, 2006 at 11:55 pm
when you buy it
May 29th, 2006 at 11:59 pm
I wanna see the whole manual leaked and I want a price for this damn thing I’m tired of waiting my patience is running very low now

Is it true that the SK3 is going to have a pink keypad?! Well if it is…then i am SO going to get one…because I am gay and I love hott boys!
May 30th, 2006 at 6:31 am
does the sk3 use the same memory card as psp??
May 30th, 2006 at 10:32 am
I’m sorry, but I gotta call fake on this one. Firstly, the image just doesn’t look right. The clipart on the side is much lower resolution than the rest of the text. The wording as far as mounting and unmounting the drive just doesn’t flow properly. USB 1.1? I doubt that, and I’m gonna be pretty upset if it is.
May 30th, 2006 at 10:46 am
does anyone know if sk3 is gonna be available for prepaid????
May 30th, 2006 at 1:21 pm
So we can finally get it on june 26th?
May 30th, 2006 at 1:24 pm
Haha.
Is this a reliable manual though??
May 30th, 2006 at 1:26 pm
Is it gonna have external speakers or a headphone jack???
May 30th, 2006 at 1:45 pm
Probably both, Adam716. It will have speakerphone, as it simply wouldn’t make sense for it not to; so I suppose it’s safe to assume those speakers can be used to play MP3s. (They played ringtones, after all.)
May 30th, 2006 at 1:53 pm
what a stupid name
May 30th, 2006 at 2:28 pm
My name is stupid?
May 30th, 2006 at 2:41 pm
He’s talking about the “SonicBOOM” name. LOL
May 30th, 2006 at 3:01 pm
probably just a normal headset as all phones come with
May 30th, 2006 at 4:29 pm
i agree with jeph. i want to know if it supports picture messaging through text messages, not just email.. but being picky at this point is useless because it’s so close!!!
May 30th, 2006 at 4:31 pm
June 26, this really exciting, I can’t wait!
May 30th, 2006 at 5:21 pm
they should have a midnight type of thing, be open june 26th at midnight kind of like movie premiers or video game release dates, have cookies and punch and what not haha
May 30th, 2006 at 5:57 pm
i think SonicBoom is not the real name…its kinda LAME…i liked the idea of HipTunes…even though it was probably fake
May 30th, 2006 at 6:05 pm
i agree with sidekickstar, haha and too adam716, i wasnt referring to your name lol i meant “sonicBOOM” (what in gods name does that have to do with tmo, sidekicks, OR any mp3 players?)
May 30th, 2006 at 7:32 pm
I hope you’ll be able to set a song from your “sonicboom” as your ringtone. but who know’s, we’ll have to wait n see.
May 30th, 2006 at 7:39 pm
haha i agree! its sooo random, but i dont even think thats the real name..i CANT see it…connecting ym SKK3 to my computer and a ituens like applciation pops up on my cmputer and the headlone is SonicBOOM

May 30th, 2006 at 8:45 pm
i like sonic boom better then hiptunes, hiptunes just sounds too corny, the whole “hiptop” name doesnt really catch my attention
May 30th, 2006 at 11:24 pm
Who reads sidekick3.blogspot.com? Information there is one of two things:
1) Stolen from hiptop3.com
2) Complete Bullshit
Read the comments too – 95% of those “anonymous” posters are actually BSD commenting to himself.
