GoAmerica really has stepped up and made i711 Wireless a great looking application on the LX’s gorgeous high resolution display. You can clearly see the difference in the screenshots below:

(with SK LX Large font size enabled)

All the i711 Wireless functionality you are used to - such as dialing from your Address Book, looking up recent calls, making new contacts directly from the i711 Wireless main screen, changing font sizes (i711 Wireless apparently still uses its own font and sizes) and colors, and so forth - are still present in this new version.

You can still subscribe to the Wireless Toolkit and gain access to TTY calling, TTY messaging, direct pager-to-pager messaging, direct access to AAA emergency services, and InSight Cinema information on captioned movies. Pricing remains the same at $9.99 per month with a six-month minimum.

With the upgrades to the Danger OS running the Sidekick, some nice benefits come to i711 Wireless users. The high resolution screen looks like it makes it possible to squeeze more characters in on a relay call - you won’t have to scroll up as often to read what was said earlier. Also, it’s even easier to switch to i711 Wireless with the new QuickJump feature which is accessed by hitting Jump/End at the same time.

I used this new version of i711 Wireless with pretty much no problems at all. It was nice to have direct access to relay functionality, and not fumble around while I was inside AIM trying to recall the number I needed to dial, or even try to copy and paste the phone number. It feels like you’re using a Sorenson VP - with direct access to VRS right there on the main screen. I like being able to switch to i711 Wireless from wherever I am in the SK, and dial a number just by typing the name of the person I want to call, and i711 just looks it up directly from my Address Book! It is nice to be notified with a strong vibration when i711 connects to an operator or the TTY on the other end picks up the call. I do wish that i711 Wireless would vibrate the SK when the call was ringing, just like a regular phone, so I wouldn’t have to keep looking at the screen, making it easier for me to multitask. Speaking of multitasking - I was able to switch out of i711 while on a relay or TTY call, look up some information in my calendar, and then switch back, and continue the call without any problems.

If you have a Sidekick LX or Slide, you will find i711 Wireless indispensable for your communication needs, and a pleasure to use. You will need to be patient and wait for Danger and GoAmerica to make the new version of i711 Wireless available through your LX or Slide’s Download Catalog. i711 Wireless is also available for previous models of the Sidekick via your device’s Download Catalog.

Many thanks to GoAmerica for providing the loaner SK LX and a preview copy of i711 Wireless for this review.

Motorola also released a statement, saying that its “product engineers
are currently reviewing the facts and will investigate all possible
causes. We are unable to comment further on specifics until we have
fully investigated
the facts.”

T-Mobile has offered any current Sidekick Slide owner a free upgrade
to a Sidekick LX, made by Sharp.

Deafpagers.com already has taken early action, and has begun informing
customers about the issue with the Slide as of Monday morning (Nov.
20th).  We have been offering customers who ordered Slides over the
weekend the opportunity to switch to the Sidekick LX.  We strongly
encourage you not to order a Sidekick Slide from other dealers who
ignore T-Mobile’s instructions.  If you want a Sidekick Slide, please
wait until T-Mobile informs us that we are able to sell the Slide
again.

WARNING: We checked other deaf dealer’s web sites and most of them
continue to sell the Sidekick Slide against the wishes of T-Mobile
USA!  Please be careful!

What’s the big deal about the Slide? Initial rumors had the Slide being a “Razr-like” version of the Sidekick, evoking visions of a very thin Sidekick with metal casing. However, this wasn’t to happen (yet). The biggest difference is that the Slide’s screen, well, slides up to reveal the keyboard, rather than the signature swiveling screen of the Sidekick series.

There’s a new keyboard that seems to resemble the Sidekick 3’s keyboard. The Danger OS has been upgraded, and like the LX, one new feature that many deaf users have been asking for is that the font size will be adjustable. Unfortunately, at this time, we are unable to find out what type of Hearing Aid Compatibility (HAC) T and M rating the Slide has. All documentation we have been able to find on the Slide does not mention the rating (probably because HAC testing was not completed when the documentation was written). It will be interesting to see if Motorola’s extensive experience in manufacturing wireless devices translates into a better Sidekick, especially for the deaf and hard of hearing!

At first glance, the Slide does look like a worthy addition to the Sidekick line. Stay tuned for more in-depth coverage on the latest Sidekicks!

T-Mobile charges for roaming on Cingular/AT&T on the Deaf Freedom Cruise ship “Freedom of the Seas”:
Voice service: $4.99 per minute.
Text/SMS service: 35 cents per message up to 160 characters.
Data only plans: Apparently no charge (according to T-Mobile customer care rep).

Again, we strongly suggest you contact T-Mobile before you get on the cruise ship to avoid any expensive surprises when you return home!! Also don’t forget to check T-Mobile’s roaming coverage on the landfalls that the cruise will make on its route.

If you have had good experiences with T-Mobile roaming on cruise ships, please leave a comment explaining your experience (and don’t forget the name of the cruise you went on!).

Deafpagers.com will be along on the cruise. We will have a small number of chargers and cases, just in case you forgot to bring, break, or lose yours. Don’t worry! All you need to do is to just find Drew Gutches somewhere on the ship, and you can purchase a replacement! Selection will be limited to Sidekick and BlackBerry compatible products.

The Deafpagers.com Blog will have a complete in-hand review of T-Mobile’s newest Sidekick, the LX, also known as SK4 sometime next month.  Watch out for this review! If you have any questions regarding the LX, feel free to ask away and we’ll do our best to answer in our review.
