I hate it when...
I work in warranty for High End phns (PDA's) and it just kills me when customer's have really high end phns that cost about $500 but then when it comes to syncing their phone...THEY DON'T HAVE A COMPUTER! 😳 are you serious? How can that be? Get a fricken a computer! It's 2008! sheesh.
...
cause their spending 500$ on a PDA. Have you not quite realised how out of wack ppl's priorities are nowadays?
...
I know! But it just irks me because they throw a fit becuase we need to do a master reset on the phn and they are going to lose allll of their information. 'It's my life! It's my baby! I need this phone!' Then get a fricken computer to back your information onto so you'll never be with out it! DUH!
...
What's even worse is when they DO have a computer, but still don't synch the phone! Then they call bc they went to a service center and the tech did a hard reset, or their phone crapped out on them and they lost all of their info and ask how to get it back. You tell them to just re-synch the device to their computer, and they're like... 😳 😳 😳
...
oh yea. I've had that too! I feel bad, but seriously? Youre the idiot for not using the phn for what it's intended! 🙄 Oh man!
...
That is the wonderful thing about the sidekick.
I learned this after I bought one.
It doesn't sync with your computer, it syncs with OURS... which is to say T-Mobile's computer. Your user interface is your online account, you log into it from ANY computer (so the chuckleheads who needed a $500 phone but don't have a computer can go to the library.) If your phone crashes or needs a hard reset it automatically reloads from the server.
The Sidekick has it's issues but that's one of the things it does well.
