I Just Have To Say That I Think The Side Kick Line Is Great And It Doesn’t Matter If Your A Teenager Or Not Because Obviously It Appeals To All Ages

Honestly, the sk is made for teens. paramore is a teen band. this makes perfect sense doesnt it? Honestly the websites they visit arent that data intensive like the xxx sites you guys always go to. So stop complaining bc it takes half a year to load 10000 pictures on one page. our device isnt meant for that. The browsers perfectly fine for what teens want it to do.

i love all these angry teen posts. try using opera mini as a browser, and compare it to the one used by SK and maybe you’ll have some sort of basis point. i also love that 13 yr olds have bbs….must be very handy to be able to check your outlook inbox for emails from tigerbeat magazine.

I won a Sidekick Slide back in March but didn’t think i’d be all that impressed with it but after using it for a bit I found out it actually works remarkably well. The constant sync of data stored on the device is simply a great idea. The OS is stable and very responsive, not to mention littered with keyboard shortcuts that make it quick to navigate around. The web browser is slow yet it does a usable job of rendering the web sites I try to visit on it. Despite it’s severely limited customization options and rather short battery life I haven’t been this satisfied with a T-Mobile handset since my BlackBerry 8700g. Sure, the Sidekicks are not the device for everybody, or even most people, but they are great devices and what they do they do pretty well.

I read a lot of your comments and realized you guys forgot one thing: Target Market. The Sidekick targets teens, not adults. Look at their tv commercials, for example. They show kids and their friends chatting away with each other via voice and text. Blackberry commercials target the older more mature market.

I’m in sales, so i do understand everyone’s point of view. From a business aspect, however, the Sidekick is probably the best thing that ever happened to T-Mobile. Sidekicks just as popular, if not more, than Blackberries; Not to mention all the extra revenue made from accessories, games, and ringtones.

I would hope that the majority of sidekick users are teens. I personally would never date a girl who uses a sidekick, but to each their own. I defend the sidekick because it’s great for business; Users cancel much less than customers who take free phones. Also, considering no other carrier can beat the sidekick plan, i’d say it makes sense that more people are using the sidekick to text and browse.
