MySpace Application Available for Sidekick 3

Saturday, October 20th, 2007

This is a delayed post, but for those of you under rocks (never open your catalog application.) the coveted MySpace Application is available for the Sidekick 3.

Same as the Sidekick iD, it’s free until January and then will cost 1.99/month there after.

Since it’s the same as the iD version, if you want to know more visit the old story Here

New Sidekick LX Pricing?

Wednesday, October 10th, 2007

Just last week, we reported on T-Mobile’s Pricing for the Sidekick LX Here

But, it looks like T-Mobile has made our wallets happier and reduced the price of the LX! The new pricing listed on T-Mobile.com reports the (Possibly 2 year. We are not sure.) contract price at $299.99 and the Non-Contract pricing is now $399.99

Thanks to everyone who’s sent this in.

MySpace App hits the catalog

MySpace on the Sidekick

T-Mobile is finally pushing the MySpace app out to users. So far it looks like it’s free and only available to Sidekick iD users. The Sidekick Slide and the Sidekick LX will have the application pre-installed. MySpace is the #1 web page for Sidekick users, so it’s no surprise that they developed an app, probably to help cut down on their bandwidth costs! Here’s a list of the features:

Push messages and notifications – New messages or notifications from MySpace are “pushed” to the device like your @tmail.com email. Instant notification when that spam account wants to add you as a friend.

Persistent login – Using the application keeps you logged in all the time so you don’t have to keep re-entering your login and password.

Profile editing – You can edit your profile through the browser.

Faster content loading – Danger is optimizing the content on MySpace so it loads less data, resulting in quicker load times.

Optimized organization – Tabs are used for quicker access to different sections of MySpace.

Quick view of new account activity – Easily check all new account activity from the Jump screen.

Upload and Download Photos – Upload photos taken with your Sidekick camera directly to MySpace through the application.

Personalized Signature – Tack on a customized signature to your messages to let them know you’re using a Sidekick.

Opera Mini on the Sidekick

Not to be outdone by the Helio Ocean addicts, one intrepid hacker writes us to let us know that the Sidekick (tested on the Sidekick iD and Sidekick 3) is also capable of running Opera Mini and he got it working. Don’t expect to see this in the catalog any time soon though, as it is doubtful T-Mobile would allow it. Currently it’s only available for people in the developer community which you’ll need to be a Java programmer in order to get into. But then again, unlike the Helio Ocean, the Sidekick already has an awesome browser that works and doesn’t really need replacing.

Themes (Backgrounds) available in the catalog

In addition to free Sidekick 3 themes, T-Mobile has finally included themes in the Download Catalog. This means that you can download a theme direct to your device if you’re willing to shell out $1.99 for the convenience. This also lets Sidekick iD owners customize their devices finally. Sidekick iDs don’t have a memory card, so you can’t load your own custom themes and backgrounds on them like you can with the Sidekick 3. To download themes direct from T-Mobile, check out the Download Catalog. For more information on creating your own custom themes, check out sk3themes.com.

Thanks to Fully for the screenshots

sidekick 3 vs iphone

Looks like this eBay user is going with the Sidekick 3 since he’s sellng iPhones on eBay with his Sidekick 3 visible in the background. Not sure why the auctions are up over $700 and $900 when you can still get the iPhones in the stores.
