The Sidekick 3 scored a 20/50 on the vision test, which is slightly below average for current 1.3 megapixel models. We expected better considering these phones are manufactured by Sharp. Colors are relatively accurate, but pictures are plagued by high contrast, making lights lighter and darks darker. Pictures also have quite a bit of noise in them, probably due to JPEG compression, which is not adjustable. The camera is still a significant improvement over the Sidekick II, which had a VGA model that washed out colors.
