    9. SK08KiD Says:

      the price of this phone is just rediculous to anyone who is a tmobile customer and cannot upgrade to the 199 price due to a contract… i think that we as loyal customers of t-mobile should be able to purchase this phone for 199 instead of 419… that price is just rediculous for a phone… expecially with the way technology is and how often phones are updated… this phone will eventually go out of style and drop in price… i will just stick with my 2008 until t-mobile decides to drop the price or come out with something newer. How is T-mobile going to give new customers this phone for 199 but try to sell it to us for 419…

      i guess i should just join at&t and get an iphone 3g now.

      I like the new lightss!! I tihnk the ones on the lx drained the battery liek crazy

    11. Crazyforwhat Says:

      Mood lights are cool , the one thing iPhone doesn’t have. And a physical keyboard!!!

    12. TIcoNyc Says:

      Well I like the new Mood light they look more battery friendly. Yes I too Would have loved to see the shooulder buttons. New Sidekick looks better than any other sidekick and more of advancement gap than any other kick.

      Has there ALWAYS been an upgrade fee? I don’t know much about the contract fees since i usually buy the new sidekicks on craigslist…I’m thinking that’s what I’ll do with this one too.

    20. meme Says:

      ..just so I won’t be binded into another contract.

    21. block222 Says:

      Price is too much. I can get 2 3g iphones for what they are asking for. But they’ll still manage to get you guys money. Lol, they want 419 because they know no matter how mad or how angry you guys are, you’ll give into it eventually. You guys are like little guinea pigs to tmobile. The Sidekick is starting to show it’s OS limitations yet it doesn’t hurt tmobile since will always buy it. It sucks, the sidekick would been a much better device today if it wasn’t for the crazy mindless fanbase.

      if you pay the 419 for the phone now you get it the day before it’s released to everyone. once it comes out it won’t be that price. chill

      yea i had to do the 2 year contract extension, but im not switching from t-mobile anytime soon, ive been through every service provider and with T-Mobile i never had a problem.

      the way to get it for $290 pre-sale is, you have to have not upgraded your phone before, extend your contract for two years, and thats it.

      yes it will still be the same price after its released on May 13th… and why in the **** would i pay 419 just to have it “a day before” it comes out… whoppty doooo. With the way the economy is now, u’d think they’d drop the price a little more than that, this phone cost as much as a gaming system.. lets be real.

    39. Bone Says:

      I just received a txt from Tmobile sayin the following:

      Free T-Mobile Msg:Thanks for upgrading T-Mobile number 9999999999. The total amount of your order was $293.16. Please dial 611 if you did not place this order.

      I think we might get them sooner than we think I pre-order mines the first day. Hopefully I receive in time of the Launch Party!!!!

      Has anyone had luck tracking the shipment? I had no luck tracking by reference #.

      Usually it will say “package not shipped yet”

      I will use my ups tracker application on the apple Touch.

    41. Nizzle Says:

      Why upgrade at 419. If you really want the phone pay the 449 for it.

      I’m going to try it out and if I like it I’ll pay that for a phone that has a great keyboard, 3g, and allows me to keep my 19.99 plan.

      I currently have an iPhone while keeping the Sidekick unlimited plan as my data. I hate the touchscreen keyboard. That is the only thing I miss from my LX.

      I too have a iPhone for my main phone and keep my Sidekick LX for the data plan. :)

      I, a faithful T-Mo customer for almost 6 years now (all of them being sidekicks), just ordered my Orchid one since it looks coolers.

      And they only charged me the $199 price

      I completely agree, not only that! but i called t-mobile within 30 days of having my gekko 08, because i heard that they were releasing this one, and told them that I wanted to send it back, and they told me that they had no information that confirmed, that the lx 09 was being release; other that it even existed. They pretty much made it seem like it was stuff of myth. The t-mobile representative told me to stick with the 2008. :\ I love my phone really I do, but I really wanted to be able to put custom ring-tones on it. Something that only the sidekick lx 09 can do :(

      Well everyone who is made about the price why be the blackberry just came out for 500 with out a contract and you can always get it fron craigslist for cheaper no upgrade me myself have a sidekick and an iphone 3g with tmobile. To me I can’t go with out either don’t complain that’s life nothing is what it shoukd be but you will not find any carrier better then tmobile. There are many phones out there and with out getting a new contract you will be paying a lot either way this new sidekick is sick and it hands down the best social device out and now all they need to do is to make apps and this phone can really be a beast

      ugghhhh man i just got my o8 in january and when i bought tha damn thing the sells rep. said a new sidekick would be coming out in a couple of months. now its out and luckly i have the flex plan but i wonder if i can upgrade and get a 2 year contract because i currantly am not on one…..

      i love the fact that t-mobile allowd me to pay the 400$ my phone costs over the months i think that was super cool. i dont think any other carrier would do that. but now im in a problem…

      the g-1 and the new sidekick lx are basicly the same thing from wi-fi to the keyboard, there is not much of a diffrence….other than the sidekick has mood lights…and the g-1 is cheaper and has a semi touch screen sooo im kinda not sure what to do… can some one help please?

      the price of this phone is just rediculous to anyone who is a tmobile customer and cannot upgrade to the 199 price due to a contract… i think that we as loyal customers of t-mobile should be able to purchase this phone for 199 instead of 419… that price is just rediculous for a phone… expecially with the way technology is and how often phones are updated… this phone will eventually go out of style and drop in price… i will just stick with my 2008 until t-mobile decides to drop the price or come out with something newer. How is T-mobile going to give new customers this phone for 199 but try to sell it to us for 419…

      i guess i should just join at&t and get an iphone 3g now.

      No kidding, and again we will be in contract for another 2 years. :/ and they would be making $$$ in return.

      forreal man..almost $500 for prepaid…redicoulous..
