Good e-mail interface with POP/IMAP support, Great typing experience, Customizable shells, 3.5mm headphone jack
Poor video recording, Sluggish upload speeds, No Wi-Fi or 3G data, Limited applications
The Sidekick has long been considered the messaging phone of choice for hipsters, but over the last year or so we’ve seen many people (including teens) trading up to more feature-rich 3G messaging phones, such as the LG Voyager and LG enV2, as well...

Abstract: Good morning from CrunchGear. We have the new Sidekick 2008, a svelter, sexier version of everyone’s favorite messaging phone here in the office in a sexy shell from SidekickShells.com. The phone itself is $149 with a two year contract and shells are $...
It's more features for less money. Not only is the Sidekick 2008 $50 cheaper than the $199 you'd currently pay for the Sidekick LX, it comes with more stuff. The best hardware improvement has to be the reduced size, and at 4.7 x 2.3 x 0.7 inches...
The T-Mobile Sidekick offers customizable shells for extra personalization. The phone also features stereo Bluetooth support and a 2-megapixel camera with video recording and playback. The handheld continues to offers strong messaging capabilities.
The inclusion of Wi-Fi or 3G support would have been nice. The phones speaker was very soft, and the video recording and playback is limited.
With the new features, extra level of customization, and affordable price tag, the T-Mobile Sidekick is a good choice for the carriers younger customers looking for an all-in-one communication device.
Smaller than previous Sidekicks. Easy to use. Fully customizable case.
Very small text and e-mail message mailboxes. Poor camera. Not great at playing video.
Sometimes its what you wear that matters, not whats on the inside. If that philosophy works for you, then its time to buy a Sidekick with some cool customizable cases....
Spacious, comfy QWERTY. 3.5mm headphone jack. Surprisingly loud, radically clear music player. Wide screen excellent for web browsing. Solid battery life. Quick video recording/sharing. Comes with two skins (we got black and iridescent lime). Bluetooth wi...
Screen retains more fingerprints than the Feds. No flash. No WiFi. Mike captures poor sound when recording video. Only 20second video clips. Only 512 MB microSD card included. Apps are mostly in the $2.99 range (except for the janky free Calculator). No 3...
Best keyboard on a phone, Trackball makes for easy navigation
Poky EDGE network for data, Still doesn’t support Word documents
The Sidekick 2008 isn’t a bad phone — not at all. In fact, I wrote this entire review on its perfect little keyboard (in the body of an e-mail message, of course, since the phone doesn’t support Word documents). It’s just disappoin...
