Sidekick ID and it was pretty fugly to begin with, but we didn’t expect it to be this bad. Leaked on the T-Mo Website is a rebate form with some official photos of the ID and it makes me want to purge. There’s a $50 rebate and a supposed April 18 launch.

Well. I *was* going to do a page on JetCityOrange.com about the new Sidekick given that I have pages on the ‘kick II and ‘kick 3. But THIS!?!?

I think its awesome. I would totally buy this and it seems from what I’ve read thats its more practical than SK3. It looks kinda rubbery like its not gonna scratch as much and you can change the colors whenver. plus its cheap… so i can keep both.. my SK3 and this one.

If you ask me i don’t think it’s bad if they have like a black or grey one i’d buy. and plus it took out all the crapy features out from the sk3 and kept the actually usable features besides the mp3. If you want a top of the line phone why not go for a pocket pc then. i don’t care what they think it’s all about personal point of view. why would you trip over what other people think.

I just got off of the phone with danger and the tech actually confirmed it does have a camera and mp3 but no web access…..altough that kinda bothers me due to the fact the screen shot shows aim, msn, and yahoo, When all of those use the web???……she did also confirm the “around $100″ thing…..oh yeah and the colors are interchangeable and they will be available at release from t-mobile….(she made an odd comment about you can send tmobile pictures and they will convert them into themes for your phone as well????)

yeah this is really cute. the reason why it isnt as much as the sidekick3 is because it doesnt have all of the same features… so its not cheep ?? wats wrong with it ? i have a camera and an iPod so i dont need to spend like $300 on the sidekick3 if im not gonna use all of the features … so this phone will do fine..

Theres just something about this design i just dont want. It probley doesnt have to much of quality. But the screen looks really nice and so do the keys. And It doesnt have WEB ACCESS!!! That just takes the fun out of a damn phone. Cause we all probley go on the web. I think it would might as well be a top of the line barbie phone where u press a button and barbie speaks to you.

They should call it the “Frankenstein” instead of the SKID…Personally it looks like a bunch of left over sidekick parts slapped together to create dismorphic peace of crap…I guess this is T-Mobiles way of recycling their garbage…Way to go! Hey if not Frankenstein, then SKID MARK! Cuz it looks like a lil piece of Sh*t anyways.. haha I think i’ll stick with my SK3 and laugh at those who have the SKID. T-Mobile- great marketing plan…i think you’ll have a great chance and marketing this phone to people who ride the short bus, cuz their the only ones stupid enough to buy it…

This phone looks like a p.o.s.! It reallt does look like sidekick 2s pieced together. I still have a 2 and I wouldn’t use a skid if someone gave it to me. Aren’t phones supposed to upgrade rather than downgrade? This phone was pointless to make. Whoever made the design drank yager bombs all night and drew this plan with a crayon. Get it together danger or I might just go to blackberry!

i’d actually use this. my friend has the SK3 and she’s “bored” with it, because she’s a brat. but i think i like this because i don’t use the camera on my RAZR as it is now, and i have an iPod, so why buy another one. it’s a basic phone, web-browser, and IM. i like it in all white with black. i’m buying it.

LOL you guys are idiots.
i have a SK3 and only paid $150 for it because my mom has been with tmobile for like 8 years, so she gets discounts on everything. and we had an old phone number for tmobile so i didn’t have to pay an activation fee.
so i’m not “mad that i paid too much for my 3″ cuz i paid just as much as this stupid shit is going to cost. it’s still ugly and it’s always going to be ugly.
everyone knows how poor quality the 3 is, so what do you assholes think this will be? considering the pieces are interchangable, i bet they’re going to randomly pop off all the time. have fun!

But Yahh, n e wayz I think alll the sidekicks are nyce to have it’s like a mini laptop, go on wit yo bad self danger+t-mobile =) For all the potential buyerz , it’s a nyce lil investment, fa cheap. so if u buy it and sum2 calls u cheap don’t bout they dumb azzez, IT IS JUSS A PHONE, it’ shouldnt tell whether you are rich or poor.

yeah i would have to say that i do think this phone is awesome.
i like the fact that you can change so many parts of it to whatever color you want.
when the sk3 came out i was like OOooOo bc i was rocking an sk2…but after playing with a friend’s sk3 i was so disappointed! and thought..damn well wait for the sk4 then but sadly my sk2 passed away.
i tried the treo680 and that was a bust.
i tried the lgwhite chocolate and well that’s all fine and dandy but thank GOD that tmobile came with this. its cheap. it has what i need. i actually didn’t like the extra features of the sk3. i think the only thing i’ll probably really really miss on the skID is the camera. but eh that’s me wishing that the sk2 was so interchangable in its appearance. plus i already have my ipod and a digicam so i won’t miss it that much. the sk3 kinda reminds me of the PSP..and i must say unless PSP became a phone too then i wouldn’t want to lug around this PSP looking wanna be without it having some kind of gaming feature that the sk3 DID not have.
i think i’ll be gettin an skID…use it. abuse it. and hope that the sk4’s are even fucking better.
boo on the sk3

Uh, so I had the sk3 and I had a sk2 and I got rid of my sk3 because it kept breaking on me, and I switched over to a dash. Biiiiiig mistake, I forgot how convienent and user friendly the sidekick’s were. I don’t see the big deal about the skiD, just because it’s cheaper doesn’t mean it sucks, but then again, how can any of us know when none of us have tried it (well, some of us may have, but you get the point.) Honestly, the mp3 player and the camera sucked big time, and all of us who were waiting so patiently for that sk3 can honestly say it was just a tad bit disappointing (such as the screen not being that much better, the mp3 player sucking, the camera still blowing big and no video play) but hey, we can’t have everything. Honestly, I’d get this just because I can change out the plates on it, but the body is a bit awkward looking and I don’t quite get what’s going on with the grey designs on the screen? Quite confusing, I’d say. Overall it’s not as ugly as people keep saying, but it’s no sk3, no why? Cause it literally isn’t.

the fact that it comes in different colors and its considerably cheaper is nice, but… no camera is pissing me off. i was planning on getting an iPod, so the no mp3 isnt that bad but no camera… ouch. if its $150, maybe the extra $50 for the sk3 would be a better bang for your buck…. i mean, the sk3 looks better too.

and btw - blondebiotch shut the fuckin fuck up, because you dont know what you’re talking about
and im not even gonna bother explaining this to you, because anyone calling paris hilton beautiful is just about as beautiful as she is: nada zip.
shes a shame to the human race, as are you.
you, just wasted precious website space. not to mention more to load for people with dial up or slow computers, and people who are probably interested in the skid.
and btw. i have a friend amanda whos her heat, hot water, electricity and cable got turned off and shes at her grandmas. and she has a sk3. shes iming me from it right now, skankwhore.
and for your info she has gorgeous dark brown hair.
why dont you go be your whorey self where it’s appropriate like in a brothel where you can work your pretty little mouth?

actually, most of the people here probably got their sk3s for around $200, because people who have been using t-mobile for a long time got an upgrade.

I think its nice, its cute and colourful, and i have a SK3 and i love it but i mean this skid is kinda cool if you only want basics, it isnt really downgrading its being realistic to those people who LIKE the design but dont want all the added benefits like the net etc. Truthfully if i want just a basic phone i’d def. buy it.

I think trimming all the fat from the SK3 was a smart idea. I don’t want some CRAPPY camera or an MP3 player that I can’t even hook up to my car. Besides, having all those extra programs is probably what causes the 3 to freeze up so much. Getting rid of all that will make it run faster, and smoother.
BTW Mercedes and BlondeBiotch, Being in a ‘blonde mafia’ is not something I would be proud of…stupid hoes shouldn’t carry guns, and shouldn’t re-produce, but its probably to late, you both probably already had babies at the age of 13….OH, wait, THAT’S what the ‘blonde mafia’ is… a car pool group!
(oh, and just because your daddies rich, and you have a trust fund does NOT make YOU rich…it makes you a leach, I made my own money, you should try too)

You guys are ridiculous.
I just bought the iD last night and I’m getting it shipped to my house as we speak.
Currently they only have black, white, glow-in-the-dark, and gray changeable plates.
But they’re going to come out with brighter colors soon.
Just thought I would let you all know. =]

I think the sidekick iD is a great idea. The sidekick with its amazing unlimited plan is popular among the Deaf and HoH population and to be charged so much for the extra features that probably wont be used(mp3/bluetooth) was probably not too popular. Although im sure sales were still great I think the skiD, despite losing the sometimes convenient camera, will be a great alternative.
I will admit while the design isn’t my favorite I think that might be because it was rushed out once they realized the manufacturers realized they had some unecesarry stuff in the sk3.
Great concept and the price is definitly alot less scary than the sk3

if someone has this phone already could you email me (jetblack211@yahoo.com) about how you like it.
i’ve been wanting to get a sidekick but the 3 is to frickin expensive.
so any input would be awesome

I just got a Sidekick ID and had a Sidekick 3 before it. I definitely like the ID better. I already had a dig cam and the 3’s was shitty to begin with. I also have an iPod so no need for the MP3 player either. Plus, you can change the faceplates and bumpers which is nice. The keyboard is much better than the 3’s also. And contrary to what some people are saying there IS internet on it. If I were you and stuck with a 3, I’d sell it on eBay, buy an ID and I bet you would even have enough to get a faceplate set and then a few bucks to spare.
Bottom line… ID is much better than the 3.

Hm. I just got the SKiD yesterday ‘cuz I lost my SK3, but I was still stuck in my 1 year contract &wasn’t tryna’ pay full price for another SK3. The iD isn’t that bad, I’ll admit. Of course, after having a SK3, it mosdef doesn’t compare. Then again, I never used the camera since 1. the quality sucked 2. I have a camera &3. my other cell phone has a camera. As for the bluetooth - never used that anyway &I used my MP3 player probably only the first couple weeks after I got my SK3. Soo, in my opinion, the iD is pretty cool. It’s a lil smaller and lighter. &I don’t worry ’bout droppin’ it &shit as much as I did ’bout my SK3 since it’s more durable. Plus, I only used my SK for AIM anyway.
Other than that, for those that have the iD, has anyone been able to remove the plastic piece covering the supposed USB port? I’ve heard from a number of sources that there is a USB port yet it isn’t mentioned anywhere in the manual? I’ve attempted to remove the plastic but it’s actually pretty hard to sooo iono if these sources were wrong or what?

im stuck in a contract that just started back in oct.2006 so yeah i would like to know of you can just buy the sucker and add on the sk plan onto old contract. that would be freaking awesome

Yo, I personally think the skID kix so much ass, nd all yall that have a sk3 that’s pretty kool 2 that just means we all got good taste n fones, even tho the skID has no cam or mp3 player but watever. we live n the electronic age nd I think havin more gadgets is cooler neway like havin an ipod dig cam nd fone is fuckin awesome even tho its a lil much 2 carry but yea. ne1 that disagrees with how much the skID rox yall can just blow major ass cuz I luv my ID I got it the first day it came out so thnx rock on!

I am definitely considering buying the skid. I have an ipod, so idc about the mp3. I have a digital camera, so idc about the camera.. phones have low quality photos anyway.
I think its better looking then the sidekick3… I like the changeable colors. Usually I am always texting and on instant messaging, so this phone would be perfect for me. I don’t need all the extra features the sidekick3 has anyway.
