Sidekick Unboxing- 07.30.08

sidekick.jpgFun packages to come home to ~ the new Sidekick that just launched today! Now with customizable skins that you can design yourself with black, white, or pink plastic as the base. So on the next page i have a full unboxing for you, and close ups of some of the fun details… and then some REALLY close up (like 200x) views of the new keyboard as well, which is my favorite feature. Overall, i’m loving the new design, its sleek, nice and matte in the center, and the font and non-chicklet like keyboard keys are so nice to use… also check out what the phone looks like with and without the new skins…

Is there a jabber client on this one?

----- John 17.08.08 07:09

This sidekick is so nice and particularly excellent design. Its definitely the best looking one to date. I agree with jean/NOTCOT and additionally believe Danger has the best phone OS out there. Hello people! Application shortcuts! I’ll rock the sidekick until whenever.

Are we going to see a NotCot Edition shell?…


Cuz I think we should :-D

The sidekick?

They haven’t really got off on the right foot in Australia - unfortunately with the official launch of the iPhone, other technical purchases were put off hold. I think, nationwide?

I’ve only seen a grand total of 3 Sidekicks in use over the past year or so - one was an emo-kid, and the other two were sale people trying to sell me one! Perhaps the marketing needs a little assistance - I’m certain it would be a more appealing handset if they could grasp the business-men/woman (not one to be un-PC) market, they would be set.

I miss my old Sidekick..can’t use them here in Paris…uuurrrhhhhhh!!!!

----- Yan 01.08.08 12:48

On the UI/OS note, I have had blackberrys, HTC Windows phones, some LG abortion and a Palm (all through work…I am no phone whore I swear)

After all those, My exes stupid sidekick really was among the best when it came to durability and user interface The only phone I would put ahead of it consistantly was a heavily modified/hacked HTC 8525 with touchflo installed.

If T-Mobile ever got smart and marketed those things upmarket to people over 22 and over myspace, they could kill.

----- Josh 31.07.08 21:20

I’m old-school and still have my Sidekick-ID, and I love it. When I finish my contract I will be getting whatever generation they’re on at that point. Very happy with it and loved this post : )

----- Nix 31.07.08 16:42

Really? do you think the latest model still has mechanism/material/etc issues? I actually thought this one (a lot of close friend and UI junkies all had the first few models) was the nicest feeling form factor yet… and the only one i’ve actually been tempted by… to be totally honest, the form factor is what kept me from the previous models (assuming we’re talking about the non crazy branded versions - those things are/were monstrosities).

----- jean/NOTCOT 31.07.08 15:51

alright alright im sorry… didnt mean to be so quick to judge. in all fairness i haven’t used the UI. but i have handled the phone a lot. the mechanism and such, studied its form, construction, and materials. maybe the UI makes up for its shortcomings (or at least what i would call its shortcomings).

----- jjfarm 31.07.08 15:42

OUCH! Hey now, not being paid to write this, no pay for play on content! But yea, i am kind of insulted… i really do like the keyboard, it feels great, and the sidekick still does have one of the most solid UIs of smart phones out there.

I will give you that that lime color leaves something to be desired though, but i wanted to show you what parts were case, and what parts were the main part of the phone.

And if i WAS paid to show you something ~ it would be in the Advertisement sections. Just in case that wasn’t clear enough?

----- jean/NOTCOT 31.07.08 15:32

are you being paid to make post this? the sidekick is hideous. i cant believe its being recognized on a ‘design’ website.

----- jjfarm 31.07.08 15:18

awesome
