kyle Posted December 16, 2007 Share Posted December 16, 2007 i have one i dont want but the backlight is broke Thats when you go purchase the insurance on those things then take it in a week later and say it broke and have them fix it.

loren Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 hah funny thing...it was over a year old so the warranty was up..i called and the lady assured me it was underwarranty and had me send it. then they tried billing me 100 bucks until i called. they sent me back my broken one and gave me a $50 credit for my trouble. still out the 350 i had to pay to upgrade to the lx. i hate the id it reminds me of the sidekick 2 i already had Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corbet Posted December 17, 2007 Share Posted December 17, 2007 I know the Sidekick is considered a "scenester" phone by alot of people but why would someone consider it when you can get an iPhone for comparable prices, unlock it, and use it with T-Mobile? My friend has one and while it seems pretty cool, my Treo and PPC could do everything the sidekick did + more. Not to mention I hate the deep QWERTY.

loren Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 lots of people hate the iphone keyboard and don't like the whole touch thing. it makes the screen all gunked up. plus not too many people know how to unlock a phone. ps i just found out that if you buy insurance on a phone you pay the monthly fee theres a big deductible anyways....lameee its not a car jeez Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kyle Posted December 18, 2007 Share Posted December 18, 2007 ps i just found out that if you buy insurance on a phone you pay the monthly fee theres a big deductible anyways....lameee its not a car jeez I don't know how it is with other providers, but up until last week I had Nextel and the $6 monthly insurance was invaluable. You could do pretty much ANYTHING to your phone and all you had to do was walk into an authorized service center and they would fix or replace it on the spot. Seriously. I got drunk one night and crashed at my friends house. The next morning I couldn't find my phone and my friend wound up finding it in the alley behind his house the next day. A car had run it over, so I just went to Nextel and they gave me a new one, no questions asked right then and there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to mention I hate the deep QWERTY. I am a scenester, so I need to get this phone. No but for real, we're sticking with T-Mobile when our contract renews, and I'm probably getting this or one of those tiny Blackberrys.

After buying it and getting it, I'd call T-Mobile, and tell them you're going out of country and you need your SK unlocked. If you've had T-Mobile for more than 90 days, they should do it for you. Take the SIM from the SK to the iPhone, and it's all good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

memoryloss Posted December 31, 2007 Share Posted December 31, 2007 I have one for sale too, it's got a few minor problems but nothing that affects its operation. I have it up on craigslist right now for $150, comes with 2 wall chargers, 1 car/walla combo charger, extra battery, 64mb memory card, and original box with all the manuals.
