Terrible Terrible Terrible phone. Id reccomend a gravity over this because you dont have to pay for the data package and it has a full keyboard. Why would you make a phone that if it losses power you lose everything?!? Goodbye contacts, music, pictures, call log, messages, and everything else, plus you cant bluetooth any other device. The G1 or any blackberry is better than a sidekick simply because of initial price and the price to run it is the same, However you get a whole lot more. Grade F-

not sure about the other companies who use the hiptop, but Telstra is going to stop hiptop(sidekick) connections on 30 september 2009

this could either be because there is no next g capable hiptop coming out or a result of Micro$oft buying out Danger. Not too sure. will do some more digging

of all the sidekicks currently available, this sidekick is the best as a PHONE. the call quality and speaker are great and the best quality compared to the other sidekicks. motorola did that part right, but messed up by making the keys on the kyboard small, slippery plastic! it's kind of hard to type because they are small, cramped, and dont provide good feedback! but i got used to it and can live with it. if the keyboard is your highest priority because messaging is that important to you, you should pick up the lx or 2008. but if you want a good phone to make calls with that comes with sidekick features, the slide is great. i personally think the design is nice. i love the way the phone looks, feels, and performs.

The sidekick slide is a great phone with some decent features. I would not recommend this phone if your looking for games or applications. But as for texting the phone can hold up to 100 messages. Which isn't a lot but its easy to delete them. As for reliability, the phone is strong. I accidently threw my SK Slide. Then shortly after relizing what just happened I looked at it and it suffered almost no damaged what so ever. The phone comes with a speaker that plays music louder than an iPhone which I like. Nothing is slow on it, it has a very fast response to what ever you type in. And the screen slide smoothly.

Now for the bad news: DO NOT get this phone if your going to get it with out the Sidekick Plan. The phone will limit you to very little. If someone send you a picture message from another service provider the phone will not load the picture and do a hard reset. Which will delete your contacts and anything saved to the phone. I also do not like where they put the power button. Sometimes you will push it while texting depending on how you hold the phone.

Other than that I've had my SK slide for over a year now and would recommend it to anyone who texts a lot.

> In reply to vf1 @ 2009-02-12 05:16 from in%a - click to readYour contacts are stored on a server, so when you log back in they'll auto download to your handset. As far as call rates they're about the same as telstra business rates, but hiptop is designed for text, internet and email (they're all free and unlimited)
if you're going to use it to make phone calls, get something else on a different plan.

I just bought the slide and it does kinda suck. I wish I had got the iphone. You can learn how to use the phone in 3 mins tops.

This is by far the worst phone ive ever had.
It constantly re sets itself, and whenever you take you battery out, you lose all of your contacts, and sms.

Horrible phone.
Really bad call rates,
Im glad i made the descision to move to a black berry storm, Much better.

Jeezus people. Anyone with civility?

First off, if Motorolla decided they wanted a super cool hiptop style phone, they would have made it.
It's not meant for anything BUT:

- A cool looking phone.
- A text/IM machine

So get over yourselves. If thats not enough, you have serious problems lol.
