Not as good as I thought

I had always wanted a sidekick and once I got this 2008 I thought it was the best phone ever, until I found out that you cannot bluetooth songs and add them as your ring tones, you cannot put pics as your background, you have to open it up to dial a number, unless you want to go through the trouble of trying to control that uncontrollable trackball. I think a touchscreen should be added with the new sidekick. Also I hate the fact that you can only download from the catalog and the prices are outrageous. I mean at least they can give us a break on the prices since we cannot download from anywhere else. The media player is fine and I have not had any big trouble with the internet but this phone is not as great as I thought. Honestly I think that T-mobile, as a whole, sucks.

This is not the best phone. It gets very hot when you make a phone call and the batery life is horrible. The music player is okay, but drains the battery. The internet is actually somewhat fast and easy to use but the apps and such are very expensive. The texting is very nice with the full qwerty keypad. But the worst of all is that the phone constantly needs to reboot itself. It has a message that you must contact customer care, but customer care does nothing about it. I've been through five of these and they've done nothing to help me. Instant messaging is also very slow and drains the battery fast. The camera has horrible quailty and sometimes I never recieve picture messages.
Pros
Great for texting
Internet is fast
Music player
Cons
Camera and video quality is terrible
Constant rebooting
Slow IM
Expensive apps
Bad battery life
Constant freezing
Slow e-mail
Giant, screen is small.
Not what I expected...

Even though I like some features, is not what I expected... You can't customize the songs you get through Bluetooth for your contacts or as ringtones. For that, you have to buy the songs. That's the same for pictures, you can't use them as background, you have to buy backgrounds as well...
Great for instant messaging, limited internet (no videos), and emails...
Its awesome

The Sidekick 2008 is the best Sidekick I have ever used...
Pros: it has a decent camera and not really bulky unlike the previous models.
Cons: the swiveling of screens is not as ''fierce'' as the previous models but other than that it rock so I recommend it
