Sidekick 3 on the FCC!


It’s official, at least as far as the FCC is concerned. The filings for the Sidekick III showed up on the FCC’s website. We’re not sure why they didn’t document the feline behavior modification chip, but we’re sure that’s still being kept under wraps. It’s going to blow the market open for pet control like no other device we’ve seen. The previous pics were legit (to some extent) and we now have the newest pics for your viewing pleasure. Some of the rumours that are confirmed: Bluetooth (for all you lexus drivers), miniSD for expandable memory, and a 1.3 megapixel camera. Many are assuming the miniSD is meant for expansion for multimedia playback, meaning video and MP3. This hasn’t been confirmed yet, so stay tuned for the exact details. At this point we can only guess at some of the software features based on the capabilities of the hardware. Still no release date though, but we assume it can’t be far off if this information is now public.

    2. Durga Says:

      you are soo stoopid for bloated *****!!!!!!!!!!!!! you make me sick!!!!!!!!!!!!! you love to *** your mum!!!!!!!!!!!!!! you are soo stoopid you little *****!!!!!!!!!!

    3. Scott Says:

      Now since FCC announced the Sidekick III, how much longer after FCC approval will it be until they are released for sale?

    4. Johnny Says:

      im 3rd

    5. nick Says:

      okay…

      1) “durga” get a life…its lame

      and

      2) how big will this be? do we know yet or no?

    6. Johnny Says:

      Soo all tose pics where true.
      then the sk will be kind of thick!

    7. NICK IS A BITCH ASS FUCKER THAT SUX HIS DADS DICK Says:

      YOU THINK YOU ARE A STUD????? YOUS A BITCHASS HOEBAG THAT LOVES TO GET DOWN FOR YO DADDY THAT FUKS YOUR MOM AS YOU WATCH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    8. Vitaliy Says:

      nick - Durga is just mentally ill. ))
      I think that T-mobile will follow the template: Make T-mobile/Danger party for celebs, give em phones, and later sell’em.
      At least now we know that SIdekick III is true.

    9. lito Says:

      Can’t wait for this one!!I heard there might be no video playback but we’ll see…because there are diff. Versions that supposed to be available..but I don’t care…I’m definately getting this one..

    10. SidekickStar Says:

      Why are people always acting sooo immature…im sure most of the people here our 12 year old kids that are trying to get a good laugh

      Laaaame!

      Not saying ALL of you are immature, but this is a place to discuss the SK3 not bag on eachother

    11. Vitaliy Says:

      I doubt that the will be GOOD videoplayback. After all it’s just a phone. IF it will have faster internet - already huge improvement )

    12. SidekickStar Says:

      Ya I also doubt that there will be a good videoplayback…but then again usually phones with video playback have small screens, so you never know! We dnt even know if there’s video

    13. Tomson Says:

      Yeah, for all the dumbasses that said that the pics before were fake… or had friends in T-Mobile that said those weren’t the pics. SUCK IT!

    14. Morgan Says:

      At least it has better camera quality than the SK2.

    15. Vitaliy Says:

      Yeah nice camera - huge improvement.
      I mean do not be dissapointed if there is no videoplayback - IT IS A PHONE ))

    16. Goodman Says:

      I don’t expect video playback. Part of why the Sidekick is so affordable is it doesn’t use a very expensive processor. But playing MP3s would be a welcome addition, as would EDGE and bluetooth. It’s probably too much to hope that the phone will support PlaysForSure subscription music. :-)

    17. Twex Says:

      I think we’re still looking at a June/Q3 release, the ‘confidential’ material that the FCC has won’t be released publicly until 6/6.
      But its nice to know, it IS on the way.

    18. AJ Says:

      Twex, i have read the “confidentia”l maerial. you’re right. it is on the way!!!

    19. Tomson Says:

      June release, huh?
      Enough for me to start saving.

    20. SDWolf Says:

      Hmmm…. Digging through the documents on the FCC site, it looks like the SK3 will support EDGE (see the ATCB letters).

    21. Sean Says:

      Ya i got the new blackberry so i can use the blutooth in my car…. i hate it.. im returning it today and holding on to my SK 2 untill this comes out… the new blacberry screen is great.. awesome infact.. web browsing is really really fast…..
      but the navigation is still lame…. just up and down. no left and right like the D pad on the SK….. im 31 and you would think that a blackberry would be the device for me.. its not!!!! i still want ringtones. games etc!

    22. Sean Says:

      Ok so i returned it….( i played with it for 2 hours and decided i didnt want it!!!) so.. while i was there ppl kept walking by and asking when the sk 3 is coming out. and they said June. I think i even heard june 6th.
      side note: Man… tmobile has the nicest customer service. the best out of anyone ive ever talked to

    23. ThiZZ iz What iT iZ! Says:

      that **** is clean yadidimean! but *** im tired of metroPCS already im just waitin for this **** to come out so i can switch up. im OUT U BZs

    24. SidekickStar Says:

      i hope it doesnt come out on June 6th

      6-6-06?
      i mean im no psychic but if there gonna release it on the devils date, i see some pretty bad luck for the SK3

      and on another note im kinda dissapointed in the SK3….i mean were all waiting for something that we wud hope to One-up every other phone, but it basically doesnt have any better or cool features…an MP3 player on a phone? been there done that…bluetooth? been there done that….i mean it doesnt seem all that special

    25. Joooel Says:

      This phone is going to be the cool phone to have and very soon.

      Does anyone know how long they put the SK2 into stores after FCC approval?

    26. K Says:

      ahhh im super excited.

      i’m graduating on 6-6-06 sooo that’d be great.. start off with a new sk. mmhmmm.

      rumor has it from “a reliable source” that tmobile has already distributed skIIIs to certain celebrities.

    27. Vitaliy Says:

      K where did you hear about that?

    28. K Says:

      a friend of mine who works at a record label actually told me. he said he’s seen it with certain celebrities.

    29. Boss Says:

      so the pic with the cat… that was the sidekick 3 ???

    30. Vitaliy Says:

      Thanks K

    31. Robert Says:

      I think that the sidekick 3 won’t be out until maybe august… which really isn’t that bad, lol. Let’s just be greatful its on the way. What “special edition” colors do you guys think that the new sidekick 3’s will come in ?

    32. Robert Says:

      Oh!, does anybody have a guestimate of what the screen resolution might be like ?

    33. Vitaliy Says:

      My contract with US cellular exprires around August ))
      US cellular is a good company - but not as developed as T-mobile

    34. CJ Says:

      at least this proves as evidence to those who kept claiming that the SK3 was just a rumor and would never come out. so HAH to them!

    35. Shakal Says:

      Yeah CJ especially all those stupid admins on hiptop.com - DAMN I HATE THEM, they knew that it was coming out but still were ******* with brains. Damn they were stupid

    36. CJ Says:

      wow, i just noticed that the picture is shown to scale, aka actual size. how do i know this? i took out my sim card and placed it over the sim card slot of the picture and it covers almost perfectly. if this is exactly how its gonna be like, then this new SK is gonna be incredibly small.

    37. LinuxGold Says:

      To Shakal,

      Some of those admins on hiptop.com are following the NDA, Non Disclosure Agreement, that they agreed upon when they started working for the company that creates SideKick III. NDA prohibits them from saying something specific about SideKick III specifications, its plans and the like. Danger company explictly states that they WILL not announce the release date BEFOREHAND nor will they say anything about the new product beforehand either. They’re the loyal muppets of the muppeteer and we can not blame them for it. The only thing we can do is to sit back, eat popcorn and enjoy the show of the upcoming release and to expect the unexpected. We can only estimate, analyze and discuss about WHEN it will be released even if those admin DO or NOT know the specific release date.

    38. Kyle Says:

      It looks as if Mischa Barton has the sk3, correct me if i’m wrong…thanks!

      http://www.perezhilton.com/topics/upload/2006/04/bored3.jpg

    39. whatever Says:

      that’s a sk2…

    40. LinuxGold Says:

      Kyle,

      It’s sk2.

    41. nick Says:

      that pic with mischa really really reeeaally looks like a black SK2…it has bumpers and doesnt seem to have that new silver ring around it..its a little big also (what CJ says is legit)

    42. glypher Says:

      Did anyone else notice that the top picture is upside-down?

      that’s all i got.

      carry on.

    43. nick Says:

      im sorry i meant to say (IF what CJ says is legit)

    44. Tomson Says:

      With these pictures, I’m wanting to think that that roadmap was incredibly real…

      RAZR Sidekick… here I come.

    45. LinuxGold Says:

      C’mon start selling on April 25th!!! *grin*

    46. Joooel Says:

      If the FCC just ok’ed the SK3 it only makes sense Danger and TMobile would start handing them out like candy to celebs. Everyone start watching the gossip blogs. Were going to see them soon.

    47. LinuxGold Says:

      It’s like expensive steak served to high class, then after a while we get those crumbs off floor.

    48. tannia Says:

      its so crazy how we’ve had the pictures of the sidekick 3 all along and for a very long time now… lol funny. even the cat remote control *main picture on this site* is showing it… and no one believed it.

    49. nick Says:

      yeah, i agree…i’d definitely keep an eye on paris hilton, maybe even the real world on MTV since they advertise it (the SKII) sooo frickin much, maybe they will announce some more news around the end of the season for it? Just another guess

    50. lito Says:

      Mc hammer should get it first!!MC HAMMER IS GOD!!!Lol

    51. trance Says:

      lito,

      You’re a dumbass. They’ll release it when they are ready and McHammer is not god…he is just a puppet for the Devil.

    52. Kate Says:

      Enough’s enough. The wait has been going on for what seems to be forever. I’m not even excited about it anymore… the release date keeps pretty much getting put back.

      Just come out already and MAYBE I’ll drop my hard earned money to get this phone that prob. isn’t much different than the rest out there.

    53. Absolut Says:

      Judging by the SK2 FCC submission date versus its release, we’re looking at another 2-3 months before this device is released :(

      Though the good news is we’ll be able to see the manual and know exactly what we’re in for in about 1.25 months.

    54. John Says:

      the pic with the cat looks like it was taken inside of somebody’s home …

      does that mean that (some) people have already gotten sidekick 3’s ?

      like bigwigs at danger or tmobile ?

    55. John Says:

      here it is right side up if anyone cares…

    56. John Says:

      http://i15.photobucket.com/albums/a381/rileysven/sidekickIII.jpg

      whoops their it is lol . .

    57. lito Says:

      mannn i cant wait..its beautiful

    58. Tomson Says:

      Yessir. And I did a little editing to the one I downloaded, too.

      :-D

      It looks sick!!

    59. John Says:

      i can just feel it in my hands when i see it rightside up !!!

      =]]]]

      hey what do you guys think about my other comment…

      “the pic with the cat looks like it was taken inside of somebody’s home …

      does that mean that (some) people have already gotten sidekick 3’s ?

      like bigwigs at danger or tmobile ?”

      ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    60. Tomson Says:

      I dunno if anyone really knows or cares. Thanks though, John. Maybe it’s in someone’s home, but not in our hands.

    61. orlando colucci Says:

      well, hey peps if u look closely the two prototypes look alike but i think that the hiptop will be out like may 25 to june25 i hope so cuz i really want it but i just wanna no if 1# of u guys no how much will it cost… i really need to know ok so holla bak ok byebye

    62. Tomson Says:

      ‘Tis a good question, dear Chap.

    63. Tim Says:

      Im guessing that these things are going to range between 430-500

    64. Shakal Says:

      TIM - NO WAY!!! you are wrong. Sidekick is designed with YOUTH in mind so the maximum cost I’ll give to it is 350$, but I think they will sell it for 300$. Of course the cheaper it will be, the better.

    65. Godfather Says:

      Yeah, I agree with you Shakal.
      And if one has good patience, after one two months even cheaper. Hell no )) Can’t wait. But damn even 300$ is expensive for poor college students lol
      And 1.3 megapixel camera is lame SonyEricsson has phones with 3 Megapixels already and video playback

    66. Tim Says:

      That cheap ? Are you sure ? If it was that cheap that would just be awesome…

    67. Godfather Says:

      By the way the pictures you see are not LIFE SIZE. Actual sidekick will be about the same size.

    68. nic Says:

      ok, cool,, but aside from all that useless ****, cause it is useless (the 1.3 MP, the SD, Bluethooth etc), will this frikkinhg thing FINALLY be able to recieve a damn MMS message? seriously!!
      camera? get a real one if its THAT important
      bluetooth? c’mon you all look like a bunch of Vulcan freaks, is it THAT nescessary to have wireless device to prevent 2 feet of wire?? no.
      mini SD?! I dont even know what I could EVER really need that for

      I like the phone, but the SK II lacked some of the most basic things every other phone out there had….like MMS, syncable with my MAC (no, other than that lame missing sync thing that only holds 350 #s), downloadable free ringtones, I HAVE to use the ones only for SK! that sucked, not important but what a racket!….MSN messanger (this is an essential business tool for many, me including), a descent calendar program (like PALMs or Blackberry…or even that $50 Nokia from Cingular).
      am ranting I know, but all this cryig about useless features…how about at least getting the phone up to par with all the rest.
      Why am I bitching instead of getting one of the others? cause am addicted to the flip….am convinced that a little bit of crack flies out and into my nose everytime I flip it.

    69. nic Says:

      youth in mind?

      you mean the kids that have NO bills or reponsability in life and can spend ALL their allowance on a phone? yeah, they’ll price this thing as high as they want and still sell them like hot cakes, watch.

    70. CJ Says:

      Yeah I agree with Nic. They know how hot this thing is gonna be, just like the previous Sidekick. Raising the price isn’t gonna stop people from buying the SKIII. Its all marketing, just like the new PS3 that’s coming out later this year. The PS3 is the next big thing and its got everyone waiting for it, only problem is that its been rumored to be as high as $500. Yet, it will not stop people from buying it.

    71. Vitaliy Says:

      4.25 AM and I am checking this site - SIDEKICK if I have to wait more than two moths for you - I will start hurting people

    72. Vitaliy Says:

      I hope they will tell us - correct official release date - That is enogh info for everybody to calm down )

    73. LinuxGold Says:

      Vitaliy, I agree! We probably will camp outside of t-mobile store and single line will last ACROSS the nation!

    74. CARLOS Says:

      the sidekick isnt pretty its just BLAH!!!

    75. Tomson Says:

      Linux… hahahahaha.

    76. Alvin Says:

      so is this for sure? June 6th of this year is the release date?

    77. Alvin Says:

      because my friend is a retail store manager of a tmobile store and he did say that its probably gonna come out sometime in the summer

    78. trance Says:

      Alvin,

      T-Mobile Reps don’t know jack about the release date for the SK3. Only Danger reps know that for sure. Hell, just wait for it to come out. Is that so hard for everyone to do?

      Also, for the person asking about the cat picture, it was done in Photoshop. It’s pretty easy to do.

    79. Mister Cartoon Says:

      Sidekick III is gonna be a sick *** phone and I have 1 guaranteed to get the day its out(my mommy loves me :D) and people always make fun of me saying “I clean my sidekick II like a $10000000 car or like a expensive watch or w/e, wait till the skIII is out ill probably spend more money on cases,bumpers(if they had any for it) and on cleaning stuff more then on da skIII hehe

    80. LinuxGold Says:

      Trance,

      LOL true!! If it was real, then that hand would’ve been submerged in the floor.

    81. SidekickStar Says:

      I don’t mind waiting until June or July, by then illl have some cash….but I just want some official release date and official pictures and more offical stuff! Peace

    82. nick Says:

      i dont think it will b that early…i just read that the SKII was released during the X-Games in August of 2004, it makes sense that theyd do some sort of a repeat marketing scheme

    83. Dennis Says:

      It comes out june 1st.. family member works for t mobile

    84. trance Says:

      Dennis,

      As i said before to Alvin, T-Mobile Reps don’t know for sure. Any date that ANYONE “hears” or “knows” is pure and utter speculation. In fact, you saying that your family member works for T-Mobile and “knows” the release date make us NOT believe you even more. Just wait like the rest of us. Go smoke a bowl and wait.

    85. LinuxGold Says:

      nick,

      Makes sense! Any idea on what next few major marketing events will take place in the United States? We probably will make better guess in few dates and to be able to “zero” into these.

    86. Vitaliy Says:

      damn, everyone who visits this site knows more about Sidekick III than an average T-mobile worker. I bet not every T-mobile worker knows how Sidekick III looks.
      If sidekick is gonna cost more than 350$ - I am gonna hurt Danger people so hard, like we weren’t friends. And if T-mobile is going to charge more than 20$ for data plan - I am gonna stab them…, hard.

    87. LinuxGold Says:

      Vitaliy,

      You should also visit http://www.hiptop.com, where in my opinion, is the MOST reliable forum ever. It is owned by danger.com and run by administrators that do know tactics that break the rumors down superbly and helps us to establish a security in our mind on sidekick 3 whereabouts.

    88. Jlev Says:

      i just noticed something no one has commented on…it appears the pic is the correct side up since we can read the “t-mobile” but the joystick thing is on the left side. wtf? shouldnt it be on the right side. so all us right handed people can use it! since we are all acustomed the the scroll wheel on the right side…

      just an observation. please correct me if im wrong

    89. Jlev Says:

      correction: it appears that sidekick appears twice. one upside down on the left and then right side up on the right.

      that scared me for a sec

    90. harry Says:

      hiptop.com is reliable sure.. but they have also banned alot of information that they don’t want us to know about the sk3. when someone posted a road map or pictures of it, they take em off asap. i do check their forums alot though, because they get alot of good information, but i do enjoy checking other formus for good rumors and ideas. whatever i guess. watch when this damn thing comes out, all the rumors will suddenly stop..

      ..until the “omg sidekick 4″ thread appears.. yeah yeah im out.

    91. young mafia Says:

      I think It should be out in no time if its wear n the t mobile logo on it its probaly been in mass production 4 awhile and those pictures from the fcc r probaly old I think they leak pictures 2 get more people interested on buy n the sk3

    92. Gebrüder Dorsch » Blog Archive » Sidekick 3, Hiptop 3 wohl schon bald zu haben Says:

      [...] Gefunden bei hiptop3.com! [...]

    93. adrianothakidd Says:

      Well since the FCC Sidekick II cofidentiality reports become available to the public on June 6th, I think thats when they will have a release party for the Sidekick 3. When the Sidekick 2 reports was approved by the FCC in June it was launched publicly at a party in August. Then in September it was released for sale. So maybe it will be available in late June/early July. But you never know. We’ll just have to wait.

    94. adrianothakidd Says:

      meant to say when the Sidekick III confidentiality reports become available to the public on June 6th………..

    95. orlando colucci Says:

      damn in june 6th i graduate this year i want it on may 24 thats my graduation cuz im from puerto rico and it will come the same time cuz the sk2 came that time so im really anxious but really r there any real pics thats my question if u no somethin new email me at chikito_antojaoxx69@hotmail.com ok so love ya guys byebye

    96. orlando colucci Says:

      an another question willl that phone have msn messenger cuz thats the most i use ok sorry for no puttin that in my little^ok love ya

    97. Tomson Says:

      MSN Messenger is whack.

    98. LinuxGold Says:

      MSN Messenger is ALWAYS the second best, you see? AIM is always the first!

    99. lito Says:

      That “mister cartoon” is an idiot….but anyway…can’t wait for it to come out…

    100. nick Says:

      i agree with linux and tomson…but anyways, I hope this thing is at least a LITTLE practical and on the business side, like a nice microsoft outlook type calendar ‘n’ such cuz thats what im startin to need as the internships n such come, otherwise I’m goin for that motorola Q!!! :-)

    101. Tomson Says:

      Hahahaha, thanks Linux.

      Good luck with that, Nicky boy.

    102. orlando colucci Says:

      ok it is exactly 5.10 and no one is here help me out

    103. orlando colucci Says:

      i really want to know damn in june 6th i graduate this year i want it on may 24 thats my graduation cuz im from puerto rico and it will come the same time cuz the sk2 came that time so im really anxious but really r there any real pics thats my question if u no somethin new email me at chikito_antojaoxx69@hotmail.com ok so love ya guys byebye

    104. orlando colucci Says:

      and wats a cat remote? ui really dont no wat it is so plezz dont lol cuz i really dont no wat it is and if ur gonna trip me plezzzzz hush ok bye *******

    105. persone Says:

      no one commentd on this but on the right side of the screen in all of the leaked pics there looks like another camera. maby for self portrate or video conference. it looks like a small hole in the screen. it appears in all of the earlyer picts 2

    106. Tomson Says:

      Ah… I kinda wondered about that… could be a bluetooth light? I dunno.

    107. sex Says:

      All I have to say is that, I am a princess. A beautiful, ****** princess. **** me. **** you. Niggers.

    108. sex Says:

      **** OFF NIGGERS

    109. sex Says:

      **** OFF NIGGERS **** OFF NIGGERS

    110. sex Says:

      **** OFF NIGGERSFUCK OFF NIGGERSFUCK OFF NIGGERSFUCK OFF NIGGERS

    111. insomniac_black Says:

      Thats the light sensor look on your sidekick II’s screen

    112. Brittany Says:

      dear “***”,

      go away. thank you.

      :]

    113. Adrian Says:

      yeah its probably the blue tooth light because on the razor theirs one to th right of the mini lcd light but it itnt that visible

    114. LinuxGold Says:

      I DESPITE MeowSoft stuff. Linux is the way to go. Open Office is useful, but they’re useful ON the computer, not hiptop IMHO. As for scheduling, I use google’s new calendar.

    115. Joooel Says:

      MSN Messenger kinda sucks.

    116. Shakal Says:

      AIM is more popular, but MSN is more respected in business world. So, if Danger will add another chat client like MSN, nobody will be harmed by it.

    117. whatever Says:

      Most people in Europe use MSN messenger so for europe it’s definitly a must to have msn on the sidekick

    118. Tomson Says:

      ‘Tis true that Europeans use MSN more. I had exchange students over here, and all of them had MSN. And I had to get them to try to use AIM, because all of us use it.

      Eh. Hope the Sidekick 3 comes out soon.

      Msn, if it “sucks” or not its another window to look out from can’t be mad @ that, if you don’t use it then amen, but personally msn is allright

    120. Joooel Says:

      I’m totally not anti-msn…but it does kinda suck. If you use it and it works for you awesome. If its going to be on our SK3 awesome. MSN still kinda sucks tho.

    121. Brittany Says:

      I like AIM better, personally, and I am sure it will be on there as well. However, MSN is business-respected as somebody said, and I use that as well.

      Having two messengers wont harm anybody :]

    122. holler Says:

      there will be msn because of the whole thing on hiptop.com thing that they signed a contract with MSN…anyways i think MC HAMMER will the get the sidekick III first because on his sidekick blog theres a picture of him infront of the danger corporation and he posts about the sidekick 3 and this is a few days before the FCC approved and then he says hes just gunna get a special edition clear sidekick…so i thinkkk the sidekick 3 will not come out for a long time like 2007 thingy…also i just want to say everyone who told me that those pictures were fake go **** yourself becaus eyu just got owned….anywayss…i hope the data service plan isnt going to be like the MDA or that the cost in general tpo buy it wont be alot or my dad wont buy it for me ill be stuck with the sidekick2 which i say sucks…the camera is horrible….and the sidekick3’s camer will be hot because one of the paml treos has the same type of camera and its sooo clear…also i hate the color of the sidekick3 they should have just left it white….oo and the pictures are definitly actual size and its like a tiny bit smaller then the sidekick 2… umm i just hope it comes out soon..IM SOOO EXCITED THIS IS GOING TO BE A HOT PHONE..well like the features the cover case is fugly and its going to be hard for celebrities to stud there phones because its going to look crappy with the removable cover case…AHHHHHHHHHH im just sooo happy that everyone who thought it wasnt it got it shoven right down their throats where it came out of…….i just hope theres better faster internet…the camera is clear…the flash actually makes a difference…and theirs video…umm and if you where smart like i was when all the rumors where going around…called up tmobile …ask for danger’s help then ask the employee but be rly nce to them and theyll give you information…like the guy i asked was like there was a sidekick 3 made and their isnt an official date yet…meanin because they didnt know if the FCC would approve it..and FCC doesnt know the release date they just know their private files were given permission to be release june 6th pobley when the commercials and stuff come out…omg now im thinking after this phone is release how much **** is going to be spread about the sidekick 4…anyways and just a quick fact when the sidekick2 pictures where leaked…they turned out to be real..and i new these would be real because there was sooooo many pictures of it..and the road map that was leaked must be real because it had like the same picture of the sidekick3 but besides that it says a realese date of sept 6…so im thinking the first date shown april something unable to see…is the date they turned the phone in for FCC approval and this is the official date of SEPT.. OMGGGG and i just thought of something o wait its stupidd…omg my eyes hurt fom reading everyones ocmments lmaoo…i no im a loser but im rly bored….now imma go and eat….have funnnnnnnn trying to find a release date when yu just calll tmobile ask for the danger technicial group and just be nice and say sorry for wasting your timme but i read on the FCC website that the sidekick was approved the 22 or somethign like that of april and i wanted to know if danger has set up a release date he or she will probley answerr…or if they dont know they wont know…so someone who doesnt lie just try i would call them but i hate waiting on the phone and i hate lieing to tmobile saying my phone is broking taking all the steps until they actually send you to danger technical support lol…..sooooooooo somone do it

    123. BVL Says:

      Wow, I thought by the time I finally finished reading through holler’s worthless, confusing, and incredibly sophmoric post, the Sidekick III would finally be released…

    124. Dattruekida Says:

      Yeah i kno i thought the razor sk3 was released when i was done

    125. Fred Says:

      In the pic above the sides of the “swivel” screen don’t seem to match up correctly with the actual sidekick…

    126. zed Says:

      i am guessing they are going to hike up the price on the unlimited aim and internet, cause i was looking at the new phones and i actually wanted the SDA phone the white looking one at tmobile and it is 30 dollars for their internet package, so i am guessing it will be the same for SKIII.

      The SKIII looks alright. i wish they could of made it more stylish. it looks hardcore.

      Is it going to be thicker that SKII?

    127. zed Says:

      and when does everybody expect it to come out?

      i was reading the comments on top but they were talking about 6/6/06 commercials? whats that about.

    128. Fred Says:

      Zed, I think that what they meant was that we will probably start seeing commercials about the sidekick 3 around 6/6/06

      :]

    129. Yo Yo Says:

      The fcc documents that were filed by Sharp will be available for viewing on June 6, 2006. There may or may not be commercials on that date.

    130. Tomson Says:

      BVL.. hahahahahaha.

    131. BVL Says:

      After reading zed’s prediction of the Sidekick data plan increase, I looked T-Mo’s website again and see that an SK Unlimited Data plan is $29.99. Did that just increase? I pay $20/month and just got a SKII about 5 months ago when the price was still at $20.

    132. Cass Says:

      the plan is 20$ IF you have a phone plan as well

      if you only have the unlimited net its 29.99

      always has been…

    133. nick Says:

      geez..all this talk about 6/6/06…sucks to be graduating on such an unlucky day!

    134. nick Says:

      looks to me like jamie kennedy already has an SKIII….

    135. BVL Says:

      Alright, thanks Cass…

    136. Cass Says:

      The only reason t-mo would increase the rates ont he plans if it they were NOT making enough money on the plans they already offer. but beleive me… if they make a 2nd version let alone a 3RD one… they are making a boat load of money on these things.

      they wont raise the rates

    137. JIM Says:

      Hey guys just gonna put this out there, I was driving on I-95 through Philly when I saw a huge black billboard with 6-6-06 on it with nothing else written.

    138. nick Says:

      yeah aka the devil is coming…jk…but i highly doubt any coincidence

      plus there is a scary devil movie called “the omen” that is coming out on
      6-6-06 dun dun dun! theres your answer

    139. A$CO Says:

      Im tired of every1 sayin they seen a celebrity wit tha sk3 already. NO1 HAS IT it jus got approved by tha fcc stop sayin that **** cuz then we see pics and its a black sk2 then there like o i didnt look that close.

    140. SoMe DuDe Says:

      A$CO why dont u let people be happy. If that makes them happy to talk about other people having the sidekick III then let them do it. Its not like its going they are talking about u. And for those who are saying that it is coming on the triple 6. It isnt true. Nobody knows the day yet. It is on its way.

    141. zed Says:

      ugh i have been waiting too long for this phone . i really am. just come out with it. lol

    143. Camps Says:

      jw, is the SKIII gonna cost the same as the SKII when it first came out-$300 or are we looking at a price range of 400-500$ ??????

    144. Bill Says:

      Camps, I think it’s going to be between $300-400 lol. .

    145. Camps Says:

      thanks Bill….

    146. Bill Says:

      Anywho, come on SK3!! I been so anxious for it to come out. More anxious than to wait Angelina Jolie to give birth!

    151. Dutch Says:

      my question is…i know it has a better camera…but does it have a better flash??? cuz the flash on the sk2 is ghetto…that **** doesnt even work…holla at me

      -K.

    152. brian Says:

      Wow. It seems like everyone and their mother wants a sidekick and yet the only place we have to talk about it, is the one post. lol Sure there are forums and such but, i think we were all pulled to this site because it was the first to announce the fcc pics. Now we’re all waiting and hoping this site will be the first to let us know any new info. I have no idea how popular this site was before.. but now i’m sure it’s highly popular. I myself want a sidekick so badly, i sometimes think about buying a sidekick II! lol

      A serious question, Why do I have a feeling the sidekick will be a big let down from other “smart” phones out there and yet.. i feel we all know this.. yet.. we all still want the sidekick III?

      Can someone please explain this to me??

    153. Bill Says:

      Actually, brian you should check out

      Engadget
      because they had the fcc pics and info up before this place… lol.

    154. Bill Says:

      http://www.engadget.com/

    155. nick Says:

      i sort of agree with brian…i mean, theres nothin THAT special about it, they didnt even change the screen res.

      all this phone has is street cred pretty much

    156. Bill Says:

      Do you guys know for a fact that the screen res is the same.. ? I really hope your wrong because that would suck. A nice shiny brand new sidekick 3 with the same resolution as a sidkick 2 and screen size.. ?

    157. orlando colucci Says:

      welll pple i justa want it to be out b4 june 10 ok send me an email at chikito_antojaoxx69@hotmail.com

    158. nick Says:

      i cant quite remember and i dont feel like scrolling thru forums but can someone remind me if we put to rest the rumor that these photos are shown to scale?

    159. Brittany Says:

      thanks, nick. I was wondering the same thing.

      And really, please. Lets keep posts SK related? That’s fabulous you know all of these languages, but I don’t think the majority of us care.

      I’m so excited for the SK3. le sigh. :[

    160. tek Says:

    163. Josh Says:

      Can anyone please post the link to the fcc web page where the filings for the sidekick 3 were posted? Thanks

    164. LinuxGold Says:

      tek,

      Sidekick II is still being manufactured and a some retailers (carriers) discontinued the MARKET of them. It’s possible that celebrities already got them, again I emphasize that it is POSSIBLE. Can you tell me why you think it’s on first few weeks of October? Some say May 15th, sometime on June, August, etc (all them claiming to be “offical”).

    165. CJ Says:

      what celebrities already have the SKIII?

    166. LinuxGold Says:
