Question about Sidekick 3?
(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)

Posted by: dawrenn

As you know the Sidekick 3 is coming out tomorrrow for the general public, I was wondering if the ones that are bought tomorrow are going to have the same problems as the ones bought on June 28th? There were a few threads on this forum where people had problems with theres. I dont want to buy one and have it be messed up. Should I get insurance on it? Is it work $6 a month?

I would definately wait and see. If possible I would ask people in your area that have the phone how their reception is b/c this phone has poor reception, more than likely I will return it b/c of that. Battery life is also poor. Its a decent phone but it is overpriced for how it performs.

Battery life isn't poor. Mine lasts over 24 hours with lots of web browsing, AIM, and a few phone calls.

Should I just get the sidekick 2?

No.

The Sidekick 3 is definitely an upgrade from the II. If you want a sidekick get the 3, it's only a $100 more than the II.

I honestly don't understand what the fuss is about regarding the signal and battery issues. I consistently get full bars pretty much everywhere just like I did with my razr. My battery also lasts well over 24 hours and I use this thing all the time.

The sidekick 3 really is an amazing device. I really find nothing to complain about other than there being no video support (which will likely be added with an OTA update later on).

Stop complaining everyone and just enjoy!

My signal strength and battery are great! I wonder if some people got caught up in the hype of the SK3 and KNEW that around them there was sucky Tmobile service but they went ahead anyway and purchased just to say they have the new SK. I dont know just a thought. But anyway all my service is good and my sk 3 is working great!!
