What device are you using?i dont own sidekick but im using cingular
I have had a Sidekick 3 for a few months, and love it. I don't know about the features of the other devices, but that wasn't the question. Perhaps most of what I like has to do with the general idea of being able to communicate in so many different ways (e-mail, text, IM, web surfing), which many other devices do as well. I wasn't looking for a pocket computer, so I don't miss the third party applications. The lighted keyboard with keys that have a good 'feel' to them is great in my opinion.
What does drive me a little nutty, though, is the tendency for the device to reboot without notice. My wife's identical unit doesn't do this anywhere near as frequently, though, so maybe I have a bad unit. It is quite frustrating, since all IM conversations are cleared when this happens. That has been my main frustration, though.
ps: Neo, if you look carefully at your messages, VamPyroX is right - you never did say whether you have owned one. You talked about two friends, and maybe implied it, but you do seem to be breaking your own ground rule about bashing. I don't know whether Vamp is a "newbie" or not, but so what if she is? I am, and proud of it. We all have to start somewhere.
Boult, Wow you got two powerful devices with nice full QWERTY keyboard. So what made you have two best devices for purpose? I am just wondering and curious..I have been on SK3 and Treo 7xx fence till iPhone announcement so I dropped pondering those two. I am going for iPhone this year or next.
Neo, I don't mean to sound rude. but have you ever thought this... maybe they knew if they told you the truth about their Sidekicks, you would start off with your 'know all' attitude on Sidekicks and whatnot.
Hey remember Wyndtell pagers? When it first came out, I thought it was soo cool that there's a little emailing pager. Trouble was I couldn't use relay on it because of bad reception. Glad we moved on to a better technology since then.
I am surprised to read alot of negativity about SK3 I've owned a Wyndtell first then SK1 then now SK3. SK3 has the features I need and I like it. 4 months after I upgraded to SK3, I've had disconnection problems lately. I would have to turn it off then back on to get it back on the network. Really sucks. It's been going on for 3 months with alot of calls to T-Mobile to get this problem fixed. If it wasn't for that problem, I was happy with SK3 in general and would keep it if they fix this issue. If not, I'll have to research what comes close to SK3's features and monthly price.
Sound like your SK3 may be no good and you would need to contact Tmo again to replace it. I don't know. I still have my SK2 though. OH LORD! Wyndtell SUCKS!!!!!!!!!!!
