A Tad Disappointed . . .

I work for T-Mo and reviewed the info in our intranet and the review here on phonescoop. I like the new look, the Bluetooth and MP3 playback, but why no change to the OS? Why is the screen exactly the same as SDKII? I guess I was expecting an improvement that would've been as dramatic as the ones from SDKI to SDKII. To me, it's kinda like what the Nintendo DS lite is to the original DS, or the Game Boy Advance SP to the first Advance (for gamers 😛 ). We'll be getting our store demo early next week, so I'll have a chance to go hands-on then, but until that happens, I'm not as impressed as I thought I'd be. Anyone else agree?

I agree. I'm a T-mo RSR in new england. I am glad that is has a better camera, Bluetooth, the larger internal memory plus the removable card. The Mp3 player is cool too. I am VERY happy to see that there is a removable battery now. However...A change to the OS would have been nice. I mean keeping the same basic layout is a good idea, so that way SK2 users aren't learning a whole new phone. But changing but some key items would have been nice. Small stuff but stuff that can make the difference. I mean, like the fact it doesn't have an alarm clock? whats that about? Not being able to use personal music files as ringtones? No Video? Also no Upgrade to the screen quality? I mean these are semi-trivial things that the average user may not notice....

Whatever SIDEKICK 3 is the best. Sorry it didnt work for all you guys. Trust me i have had a lot of phones such as the MDA Motorola Q and trust me after testing the performance i would like a sidekick then any of the other phones. P.S how do you know all of this without messing around with it one on one?

I agree.... basic features like the ability to record video, use music files as ringtones, and above all a good, clear display are crucial. I also find it interesting that both the display and the camera are so-so when sharp is a manufacturer......they've been known for both quality displays and cameras in their mobiles...and to sidekick 123.....how would you know that the sidekick 3 is "the best" "without messing around with it one on one...." ?
