  How come there was no discussion of network speeds? i.e., gprs, edge, etc.? I would think each device’s maximum network speed would be a factor in such purchase decisions.

  The SK2 had a special price to the deaf community of $149.99 after rebates and a data plan of $29.99 per month. Some retailers still have remaining SK2’s available.

  Are there going to be rebates or price reductions on the other two models, and are the monthly data plans the same price for all?

  These are factors that also help in deciding between which model.

  I like Sidekick II much better than Sidekick 3 and Sidekick Id Why I don’t like the small ball that like a mouse it a waste of time. Beside there are plenty of still good used Sidekick II on E Bay all you need to do is transfer your sim card onto another Sidekick II and it works fine I do not even like Blackberry because not good vibration like Sidekicks so I do wish they would remake Sidekick II as it is a very good device better than any device I ve ever seen

• 9 PsYcHoWiLLiE // May 21, 2007 at 6:50 am

  SIDEKICK3 is an excellent pager that offer anythings you need in ONE pager so I really don’t understand @ all why SideKick ID came outta da market as it seem like it is da same version of SideKick2……….

  Nicole Brooks!! If ya wantto buy new sk3 or ID therefore ya can be purchase t-mobile without credit check for make a contract however T-mobile sell 2 different price to purchase sk3 without contract which doesn’t require credit check and to contract. They sell at the full price of without contract then ya can purchase prepaid account to able use service on the sk3 for prepaid will charge ya one dollar a day for all of sk3 catalog to use it. Ya all need to buy 15, 25, 50, 100 dollars at any store to credit the sk3 to keep service on till run out of the fund then purchase more prepaid. So T-mobile usually sell 2 different price for contract will sell u low price of their sale. Secondary thing is if ya can’t afford to buy a new sk3 then go look up your local craigslist.org classfield under electronic catalog to look for used sk3 and get a prepaid. Its better than use any of crap regular cellulars at the cost. Here the Link ya may go look at craigslist.org

  Happy hunting to find sk3 for your reasonable affordable and enjoy it

• 12 admin // May 21, 2007 at 9:34 am

  The Sidekick iD would be perfect for those people who want to be able to bring it to their workplace. Most Federal agencies here in DC have banned employees from bringing in cellphones with a built-in camera including the SK 2 and 3.

• 18 debby // May 22, 2007 at 9:02 pm

  WEll I agree that side kick id is good for work place where camera built in pagers are not allowed but everybody loves to have pagers with camera built in. Why can’t id pagers have two options one with camera built in and other without? I still use side kick 1 and have not purchased new one yet cuz it still works fine. I have camera I can carry to anywhere, so why do I need camera built in pagers?

• 22 DONNA // May 31, 2007 at 5:26 am

  HI…MY OPTION THAT SIDEKICK3 IS BETTER THAN SK2 OR SIDEKICK ID BECAUSE SIDEKICK ID IS TOO PLAIN JUST TOO FANCY COLOR BUT NOT INCLUDE CAMERA AND STILL THE PRICE 29.95 MONTHLY.. I THINK TOO MUCH FOR PAYMENT ON SIDEKICK ID ..BUT SK3 EVERYTHING INSIDE THAT HAVE CAMERA,VIDEO,EMAIL,WEBSITE,PHONE,RELAY,TEXT,VARIETY ON A LISTS….AND 29.95 WAS PERFECT ….MY OPTION YOU SHOULD REDUCE THE PRICE EVERY MONTHLY FOR SIDEKICK ID DOWN TO 22.95 TO 24.95 SOMETHING LIKE THAT MAKE PEOPLE SATISFIED WITH THE PRICE..I THINK IT WAS NICE SIDEKICK ID BUT WITH PRICE … I DONT THINK SO .. RATHER SK3 …. I DO HAVE SK3 MYSELF…

  Everybody are entitled to have their opinion about Sidekicks. I am SK2 owner and I am satisfied with it. There are difference between the “wants” and “needs”. I am sure there are alot of deaf who “wants” better pager to be advanced in technology. I know some guys and gals still have the original Sidekick (in black and white!) and they’re satified as long they still get emails. Most of them would rather wait to get new one after their pagers croaked/died/terminated. When you buy SK3 or SKid, I hope you’re satisfied what you NEED. For those are “Must Have” better be satisfied what they WANT. The seller doesn’t care which you buy but they see dollar signs! Ka-ching! (sound from the old cash register) Oh, one more thing, if you are in the movie theater, please turn the deaf pagers completely off! Cheers!

• 24 admin // Jun 8, 2007 at 7:40 am

  John Mason. You said that dealer do not care?, in fact, Deafpagers.com and most thrid party dealers are not able to offer upgrades, Deafpagers.com refered customers to T-Mobile Store to purchase upgrade. They do not make profit on hardware. They profit from service. At Deafpagers.com store, some customers come in and ask for upgrade, I asked customers if their old devices work fine? Most of them said Yes, then I told them not need to buy upgrade, until the device is truely dead.

• 25 John Mason // Jun 8, 2007 at 8:23 am

  admin, I acknowledged that you do care since you are a dealer not seller. Your customers appreciate your advise on upgrade. You’re correct about T-mobile’s profitability from service but who is making profit from Sidekicks? Danger Inc. or distributors? Enough said, the main thing is customer’s satisfaction.

• 28 Jim // Jun 22, 2007 at 11:31 am

  I have the Sidekick ID and like it quite a lot.
  I don’t like the resolution of the camera on the SK3 and don’t need Mp3 playback. The ID is a good, economical solution for my mobile communications needs.

  Hi, I have a side kick 3 I like it a lots it have everything on it but it did not have a live web cam video. I heard there are rumors about thr new sidekick 4 it I’d true? If they do have sidekick 4 what will I do with my sidekick3 I just bought it 6 month ago I do not want to wast my money. Can I trade my sidekick 3 to sidekick4 and you can sell or give the sidekick 3 for free who can not afford it. Thanks.

• 34 Hawaii girl // Aug 8, 2007 at 10:33 am

  I heard that all new pagers will no longer to use built-in camera due to terriorists. That’s why new BB and SKid don’t have cameras. I still have my SK2 for a long time but rubber keyboard is bubble and it don’t bother me. When it brokes, I would buy SKid or other new pagers. Yes, I heard SK4 will come soon. Mahalo.

• 35 Hawaii girl // Aug 8, 2007 at 6:15 pm

• 38 TJ // Sep 2, 2007 at 7:52 pm

  I am looking forward to getting Sidekick 3 finally. But I’m very disappointed to see that none of the SK devices have hearing aid compatibility. I do NOT use phone, am too Deaf cannot hear. But if SK is marketed so much to Deaf with relay and tty, why not make it easier for HOH too? Sorry about that guys and hope they do something about that soon.
