SIDEKICK III., rumors and news. Options

[pandamonium]

Did anybody here anything new about the SIDEKICK III ? there are a lot of things going around and I actually have been waiting for it to come out cause i dont wanna upgrade my phone until it comes out.


So discuss all sidekick III here.

EDIT



that is what it officially looks like. commercials are to be rumored around june or more precisely on june 6th.

so what do you think ?

[EddieV]

To be honest I was never really into the Sidekick. I didn't really like it that much, I'd prefer getting the Blackberry or the Treo.

[rAwritsgWeg]

man i havent even been able to get the first one and they are possibly coming out with a new one!!! I want one sooo badly
mostly for the Instant messaging

[Tribal J_Rome]

My friend showed me these images that supposedly are from the Sidekick 3, maybe they leaked or something. Or maybe could just be a prototype





I've been wanting a sidekick now for a while....

[pandamonium]

i have been waiting also and those are the pictures i saw but they have so many protocols that they havent decided.

The sidekick sucks. Danger sucks.
American phones are shit.
If you have T-mobile, then get the Samsung SGH-D870, or the Sony Ericsson W950i if you want a good phone. Infact, anyphone kicks the Sidekicks ass. It's like a gay version of the N-gage.

[EddieV]

I'm actually looking foreward to getting the Samsung SGH-T509, it can replace this crappy Razr.

haha the gay version of N-gage? The N-gage is a piece of shit, I have NEVER in my life seen anybody with an N-gage yet I see hella people with Sidekicks everywhere

[*mSz_dOrk_anGeL*]

I didn't know there was a Sidekick 2

[EddieV]

I used to want an N-Gage, why I do not know.

[Tribal J_Rome]

^ Same here, but that was BEFORE it came out. It seemed so much cooler in the magazine...

[AnnahhbeL]

who cares about the sidekick?
atleast I have my own Sony Ericsson w600i to love..

[Tribal J_Rome]

^Who cares bout your sony ericsson, the title of the topic isn't called sony ericson w600i lol

[uLoVeMikeRoch]

People LOVE inferior Products.

There are a billion good mp3 players out there, yet people KILL to get an iPod.

There are Fast PC's out there, yet people want MACS.

You can get a Pizza for a quarter for 25 cents, yet people still choose to buy another pizza for over 11 dollars. (Papa Johns)

You can get an round trip to florida for 50-75 Dollars. Yet People spend OVER 300 dollars for the exact same thing, just so they can leave and go whenever they want.

If they do good with advirtisements and promotions, then it's why people want it. Most of these products may not be the best, but they all have it where it counts.

yea exactly, its because people dont know about those other products. those pcs are order only and those pizzas are probably frozen. lol

I had the 1st sidekik and then the 2nd then i had a berry....

I WANT SK3! cant wait!!! <3 ♥

really? wasnt it a big change. wait did you get the newest blackberry?

[bananapants]

i hate treos they screw up so much and my cell phones are retarded i have 3 all wired to one number cuz insurance sucks! but the ngage qd special edition looks better than the sidekick 3

[Just_Dream]

Will the camera be better?

I personally think the Danger SK2 was a step up from the original one, but this one looks smaller and more well.. compact. I like how it looks, because it's not entirely silver.

But what are the other improvements? I hope it's not a VGA camera Maybe I'll check up on the specs later. I will NEVER get a Sidekick only because I don't feel the need for one. Texting isn't my thing... I'd rather make phone calls.

Now I can finally talk about Samsung phones...
I want a phone that has a lot of features. Eddie (no fear), the sgh-T509 looks pretty cool, but I'm not liking the VGA cameras. Also, there is no expandable memory. Although, it's nice that it's really really thin, I'm more into flip phones. But it does look nice. Of course, we can't be too superficial, what with better and better phones coming out.

uLoVeMikeRoch - Yea, American phones do suck. The Samsung D870 looks very nice -- it's like, the new D600. First there was the D415, then the D500, then the D600, and now there's going to a be D870? Wow.. :D 3.2 MP camera.. I like, I like. I like the appearance of the e900 (yet to be released.. I really want it T_T ), but the features of the D870 is awesome. I hope T-Mobile doesn't release those phones only because if they do, they'll alter the OS in the phone and make it crappy (it happened to the D600, but with a different company somewhere overseas.. Horrible...)

Does anyone have a phone with EDGE? I heard the speed of it is pretty fast, but I have yet to try it out. Boo US phone companies.

[EddieV]

American phones are sh*t.

My uncle works in the cellphone industry, basically he's the representative of Thailand for different cellphone companies. He's worked in Nokia, Sony Ericson, Samsung, and LG. He is currently working in Motorola, and he said out of all the companies he's worked with, Motorola is by-far the worse.

As soon as a Sharp-made handset shows up on the FCC with a whole bunch of confidentiality-request paperwork affixed, you know it's gonna be good. Sidekick fans, feast your eyes on the real deal up in the grill (yep, all those pics were legit), and the um, naked, battery-less tail end of the Sidekick III (model PV200). Can't be long now, can it? And yes, this confirms pretty much much of the info we'd already heard about the forthcoming device: 1.3 megapixel camera, expandable memory (miniSD), and Bluetooth.

[dinolush]

i know this is an old thred but i got moved to here so, yeah.

i heard there was a launch party in LA last night for the new SK3. And that it's supposed to come out July 10th. Hopefully it's all true, because I want it! =]

[pandamonium]

lol did you get that from hiptop3.com yea its coming out its confirmed.

[ThunderEvermore]

You can get an round trip to florida for 50-75 Dollars. Yet People spend OVER 300 dollars for the exact same thing, just so they can leave and go whenever they want.

Where can you get roundtrip to FL for 75$?

[uLoVeMikeRoch]

Where can you get roundtrip to FL for 75$?

THere are airlines in mostly city areas that have services like this. I know there are airlines in Philly that have roundtrip prices like this.

The d870 has been offically renamed as the d900, I think. The d900 also now comes with Quad-Band, instead of Tri. So basically, there could be 2 versions.

Theres also the z510, or something like that. Supposedly the new "Blade", but for GSM phone companies. Wait, it's already been out, nevermind...

Theres also the new SK telecom Helio, but that only works for it's own service. Not the Usual GSM (T-Mobile.) or the CDMA (Sprint/Verizon), but it supposedly is run on it's own service. I wanted it, but after reading that...

No shocker here: T-Mobile and Danger are officially unveiling the new Sidekick 3 today. (Note that it's not called the "Sidekick III". T-Mob has requested that it only be written as "Sidekick 3".) The specs are no surprise, either, since they've been rumbling around for weeks now, but we'll run down the official details for ya:


Size: 130 x 59 x 21.8mm
Weight: 6.7 ounces
240 x 160 pixel, 65,000 color display
Trackball (!)
Tri-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE
Bluetooth 1.2 (limited to Hands-Free profile and vCard exchange)
1.3 megapixel digital camera w/LED flash
miniSD memory card slot (supports up to 2GB cards)
64MB of SDRAM/64MB Flash memory
Music player software

Word has it that T-Mobile will be opening up pre-orders to current Sidekick owners first, with the rest of us getting a crack at it sometime around July 10th.

Stay tuned for a slew of hands-on pics.

Hmmmm......pretty nice. Better than the first 2. Trackball thing is cool.

[aubbob]

its beautiful. i want one

[*baby_in_blue*]

^me too.

they`re SO small!

[EddieV]

I think I'm going to get a Pocket PC, or a Treo.

[pandamonium]

my friend just got it. i really wanted her to get it before i did so i could check it out. i think the best edition on the sidekick is the trackball but the camera isnt that great. i think i am just going to stick with my samsung t509. lol. i dunno if i will switch to sidekick anytime soon. i was really excited but the only additions that stand out are the mp3 player and the trackball.

[AceShadows]

Bleh. Palm Treo! <33

[anfgirlco]

Eh, it's ok

[moorepocket]

they're having a limited edition sidekick III. I never realized how small they are until i actually held it in my hands.

[Tyweezy]

I have one.

[*WHIMSICAL 0NE*]

Umm... I have a regular LG phone. lol.
I want one! I remember when they first came out, they weren't really a big deal here, but one of the "privileged" girls I went to school with got hers all done up like Paris Hiltons.

[smoke]

I used to really want one, but now that I've seen it in real life... I'm a little disappointed. Nothing special about it. At all. And the camera sucks.

[*mipadi*]

On a related note, Saw III is coming out soon, too.

[moorepocket]

i want to get bling bling too. But it cost as much as the phone.

[pandamonium]

On a related note, Saw III is coming out soon, too.

lol really relevant ahah jk. but i dunno i dont like it that much, i really am okay with my phone right now since its super skinny, maybe when SK4 comes out i will get it casue i guess it will be much better.

[moorepocket]

of course the next one is gonna be better than the previous one. Look at sk1 and sk3. See the difference? Sk4 probably not coming out for a few years later.

[*yrrnotelekktric*]

still want a sk3.

[moorepocket]

of course everyone wants one. They're the new rarz. The best part is, no one will have it except tmobile customers.

[David1]

im getting a sk3 ahh cant wait.

i havent had a celly for the days now.

[smoke]

Actually Ryan, you'll probably see the SKIII out with other service providers very soon. At least, that's what Alltel told me. Correct me if I'm wrong though. Alltel didn't say they were gonna get it but they didn't tell me who was.

Yea i heard that too, and motorola is going to work with danger to make the skinnier version of the sidekick. I saw some real mockups which look crazy. i dunno if this is all true but thats what i heard.

[moorepocket]

that's so cool. Where are these mock-ups?

[pandamonium]

that's so cool. Where are these mock-ups?

hiptop3.com

[moorepocket]

if only they shared their plans.

did any notice how alike the sk3 and hiptop3?

[moorepocket]

how long does it normally takes for your sk3 to activate?

[pandamonium]

like what do you mean turn on?

my friend's takes like 5-6 seconds to turn on.

[moorepocket]

no. How long will you be able to use it.

[*My Cinderella.*]

Took my sidekick like a few days til I was able to use it.

[moorepocket]

how do you get custom themes?
