T-Mobile Sidekick II Phone

Under: Other Mobile Phones Date: June 7th, 2006

T-Mobile mobile Sidekick II phone is probably the most must have product in the USA but what about here we ask ourselves in the UK, well we must say it will do just as well here because it is an awesome phone that has many features. The first Sidekick was kind of boring and awkward to say the least but now they have pulled something out of the bag to make us well say WE WANT ONE.

It is so much smoother to use and so much easier, this is a mobile phone and a miniature laptop as well all in ones pocket. The design of the SK2 is so much better than first being a size of only 130 x 66 x 22 mm and weighing 198 grams which is not that bad considering all it does and the size of the screen.

The display screen can rotate 180 degrees which reveals the keyboard underneath which is quite nifty, it has rubber bumpers that can be removed (these run along the top and the bottom of the SK2) and come in array of colours which is a good fashion thing. It has a 2.75 inch TFT display and with a superb 65,000 colour screen plus is readable in the sunniest of day which is very good indeed.

You can store up to 2000 contacts with enough room for 5 numbers in each entry in this phone come laptop which also has a calendar, to do list and note pad are some of the little features you get. If you love text messaging, web surfing or emailing then this is why this is a good choice.

It also has a VGA camera which has 3 resolutions – 160 x 120 by 320 x 240 and 640 x 480) with a built in flash to make pictures that much better. You can store up to 36 images at the top highest quality mode, it has a speakerphone which is well worth it which you can activate once a call has been started and you can hold up to 10 IM conversations at once.

Features/Specs –
• GSM 850, 1800, 1900
• PDA, Swivel, Sideaways, Hiptop OS Form Factor
• Li Polymer Battery
• 32MB Memory
• VGA Camera of 0.3 megapixel with flash and night mode
• Speaker Phone
• Wallpapers
• Screensavers
• Games –J2ME
• SMS and MMS Messaging
• POP3, IMAP4 and SMTO Emailing
• AOL and Yahoo Chat
• Auto Text
• Intellisync
• GPRS class 10 Data Speed
• Calculator, To Do List and WAP danger browser
• 130 x 66 x 22mm
• 198 grams

    I Think This Stinks

    January 27th, 2007 | 2:06 pmAly

    hey, i’m 11 years old and I have a sidekick 3, um do you guys think the sidekick 3 is to large???!!!

    January 27th, 2007 | 2:34 pmPhonesReview.co.uk

    Well Aly thanks for your comment and my answer would have to be at 130 x 66 x 22mm that is not really big considering what it can do, well saying that what i mean is that maybe to an adult who have bigger hands no but then to someone young of which their hands are smaller maybe yes it is.

    Can anyone answer this question of Aly’s please he has a point that should be answered.

    Thanks again Aly

    Well personally i think an eleven year old has no reason for a cell phone, especially not a sidekick…but I am sixteen and i just got one, and I think its the perfect size…though for an eleven years olds hands…it may be a little large.

    March 28th, 2008 | 1:37 pmKiimberley

    OMG! I have seen so many sidekicks oan the telly. Ive explained them to my mum and im trying to get one. If youu are wonderin ware to get them, just go on to Ebay.co.uk or Ebay.com. Alot of people have them up for auction or buy. They usually come in great condition it depends on the description.
    Hope i helped.
    Kiimberley

    March 28th, 2008 | 1:44 pmKiimberley

    You can get diamon cases on crystaliced.com, they have all different designes and colours. They are quit dear but they look worth it. If youu watnt to sell it, it usually depends on the quality and condition. Also on Ebay, youu can get unlockin codes for about either 5.00 dollers or 5.00 pounds. Im not exactly sure but its round about that.
