Is the T-Mobile SideKick a decent phone for $70?

[markseven]

I have no knowledge of what's good and what's bad. eBay has new, unlocked SideKicks for $70 shipped. Is this a good price?

TIA,
Mark

its is, they usually go for like 150 or so used.


I want to get one

Thanks man! I think I'll get it for the missus.

do it.

im lucky and have t-mobile so i dont need it unlocked but ill probably get one when i grab a new job

I'm sure this is last year's model (debuted in June '07), not the latest one. Do you still recommend it?

They still make these phones? I remember when these were the hot shit like four years ago.

Apparently. A new version was recently released.

Nevermind - the SideKick ID doesn't have a camera.

Sidekicks are solid. I had the SK color, SK2, SK3, and I was pleased with them all. The Sidekick ID is the lower end version of the Sidekick LX, basically without some of the flashiness. For $70, if you need a solid phone, Id say pick it up. I'd give em a 7.5 out of 10.

Thanks bro. The camera thing is a deal breaker; for some reason my wife must have a camera on her phone. If it were for me, I would roll with it (I am still using a Samsung I bought in May of 2005, it doesn't have BT, speaker phone, a camera, MP3 compatibility, or anything else. It's just a phone).

my friend had a sidekick. seemed like a cool phone but it was given to him broken so it didnt last long. for 70 bucks seems cool jsut carry a camera in your car. fix that problem ahha
