Sidekick Slide or LX?!?

[maximaserg]

Hello buddy. Well i used to be a cell phone freak. Some people go through cars, shoes, rims, clothes like its nothing, well i owned a cell phone since 5th grade and always wanted something better. I ve been through several European networks, virgin mobile, and Cingular. US cell phone companies have a pretty crappy selection, although its kinda getting better. I usually switched phones every month to a better one every time.

I owned a great amount of reg phones, like 4 windows PDA phones(the $600 ones), Some weird phones, like the one below. If u switch to t mobile you can have any phone you like, go on ebay type in unlocked cell phone, it will work(cingular, T-mobile) .


Yea its a phone


New sidekicks are very nice, pretty thin, keyboard BLOWS! To dial a number u have to use the top row like ur pc keys. You will probably get board with the interface pretty fast as well.

Voyager is pretty nice as well. Very clean, small touch screen though, has a problem with vibrate. Verizon not good+++ I personally never had a verizon but always had a natural hate for feeling like being stuck with one phone, or not being able to use another phone if mine dies, due to the lack of the SIM card. The set layout of the menu kills me too.


Soooo.. the conclusion.

Get an iPHONE and you will never ever regret your decision. I had the iPhone since July, and after switching phones every month/week, i don't plan on going anywhere from this phone.

cant afford it switch to t mobile and buy an htc wing, or an unlocked HTC touch from online.

Ok then drop it and the touchscreen shatters, and you're out of 500 dollars.


Helio Ocean does everything the iphone does, and more.. and it's only 250 dollars.

But can u touch it like an iPHONE? lol

True it is not a phone you would usually not take care of.

I mean i dont really take care of mine that much, i bought the full body screen protector (Invisible shield). You cant tell its on there until u feel it, so im not even afraid to scratch it.

But cmon its been on the market since June and its still the hottest and most techy phone out there. Although u cant take videos and cant forward texts, thats it.

Dropping yes... screen is glass, 250 to replace. My buddy dropped mine while he was standing, landed on concrete... We starred at it wondering if it would work. Picked it up its fine, landed on the back, works the same. Although my buddy got an iphone, was detailing a car 2 weeks later and fell out of his pocket an broke the screen. i personally never dropped mine.
So if you do drop your phones a lot i wouldn't really recommend any of the phones u are looking at. Ive seen peoples sidekicks chipped allover the place but still working, missing a couple of button but still working.

Not even gonna say anything about the voyager, just as fragile.

Here are the phones i would realistically recommend to you, by witnessing the way my friends abuse their phones.

Wanna stick with verizon get the new Envy. The navigation feature on it is pretty sweet, got us to Blue Knob in Altoona there and back no probs.
Although the internet sucks.

T-mobile, Cingular, - Samsung Black Jack. Awesome phone, works great all the time. My buddy abuses the **** out of it works great. fastest internet available for phones.

at&t i have the 8525 its a great phone im getting the tilt soon i get coverage everywhere too never had a dropped call the tilt has built in gps too and wifi and you can install the tomtom or garmin etc software and use it as a gps device

[maximaserg]

yea i owned a Mio a701, Cingulars 8125 and 8525. Those phones have great potential because they are like computers and can have anything installed on them just like a pc. Loved the 8525, actually owned 2. .

The tilt is bad ass. 3G network on those phones is pretty sweet, but i dont really notice that much difference with the iphones edge.

BTW. those 8525 and 8125 are nice phones and you would want to keep them nice and clean, but dude my 8125 was dropped way to many time for that phone, but worked like new.

P.S. The iphone is more of an entertainment toy than anything else.
