@JDean86 nope no other phone, just a sidekick. I tried a WinMo and i can understand why Microsuck bought Danger, because it sucks. Want to talk about capabilities? Yes sure the phone has all these cool things Windows can do, only if your willing to go through 10 menu options to get there. Navigation is important to me. Txt/Email is very important to me and every single WinMO or BB has the crappiest keyboards ever! I thought HTC might have a good one when they came out with the G1… Still not up to par with the Sidekick. Maybe if they came out with a touch screen people would give it a chance, but I doubt that they would. Let’s face it though, when it comes to ease of use and navigation, i’d rather have my sidekick over anything.

ps screw touchscreen keyboards! lol

Wow this is kind of sad. I remember back in the day when the sidekick was the phone to get and the days I waited in anticipation of getting my sidekick 3.. My first sidekick I remember being jocked all the time for my phone and how people liked it… now it seems people just don’t care anymore… its kind of sad really but what can you do… people have to follow the trend…I.e. Iphone hmmmm…

So what exactly do people think that a Blackberry or WinMo phone can do that a Sidekick can’t….I get my corporate email….IM with Yahoo and AOL, I listen to my music via my stereo bluetooths when I work out…synced calendar, manage notes and todolists, etc etc…the same thing most consumers do with BB….the keyboard is phenomenal, the screen blows anything away a Blackberry ever thought of doing AND its 3G…..something no blackberry is though 9700 is on the horizion finally!

I am not gonna abaondon Sidekick /Danger yet…lesson learned and they are working to correct mistakes….an outage is nothing new…BB users suffer through like 2 a year…while this is the first I’ve ever endured on Sidekick in the 5 years I have used them…

And what about that $100 card? Do employees who lost data get it too? There has been nothing communicated in Streamline or OneVoice about it?

Hopefully this will be one of the last Sidekick-Data-Outage-worst-thing-ever-to-happen-in-the-history-of-cellphones-ever stories and their subsequent takeover of certain smartass,snarky tech blogs. Yes, everyone will remember where they were the day they lost their ringtones and contacts. I think TMobile went above and beyond for pretty much everyone who lost their stuff, so hopefully the whining will stop.

@charlieboy

Sidekick as a PDA? Sorry I just can’t see it. The thought makes me laugh. :-) Whatever works for you I suppose. Is it your sole phone? Do you secretly have a bb or winmo device for real use?

Ok let me put it this way JDean86 I’ve been using the SideKick as a PDA since the first one came out in color. It’s actually a great phone. One of the firsts to actually be a PDA phone. There were others but the SideKick was ahead of it’s time when it did come out. It’s just sad that these teenie boppers ruined it by giving it some kind of lame image. I love the fact that my data was being sync’d with Danger (not Microsuck) and that with every new SideKick I’d buy, all my previous data and information was automatically moved over. Then this company called Microsuck thought they were doing Danger a favor when in fact they just screwed it all up.

Thanks Microsuck… you officially suck.

Yeah I’m sure everyone is in a rush to rely on Danger/Microsoft for keeping their data again.

@Pororo
Never thought of it like that with the lights and such. Makes sense but I guess I didn’t think hearing impaired people would need a phone haha. This is my dumb moment of the day.
