I wouldn't even touch the iPod touch, no pun intended. Give me a regular iPod and I'm good.Originally Posted by SylvesterMcGrizzly
So ya phone is for adults cuz its touchscreen?touchscreens are overrated and go unresponsive jus as easy as a worn down keyboard can give out and if that touch screen go, you are down...btw none of my sk keyboards have fell apart or stopped working...only the trackball fails over time...I kno dudes who say to me all the time that the iphone as a phone sucks and is garbage...if anything I may just get an ipod touch and jailbreak that

1. Touch screen gets old real quick and honestly nothing beats the feel of actual buttons.Originally Posted by Da R Entertainment
touch screen > bunch of buttons that end up sticking after a ton of useOriginally Posted by finnns2003

iphone's can't record (at all unless its jailbroken) and upload directly to youtube
iphones still got a 2 megapixel camera, this sidekick got 3.2
looks like you can't sidekicks on not having custom ringtones anymore. you can do it now
having your itunes library on your phone > ___
safari web broswer > ____
sleek, one piece phone > swivel, moving parts that end up breaking after a year or two
i had two sidekicks (mr. cartoon, sidekick 3) and they absolutely sucked after a while. service went out for no reason, swivel screen would stop working well after a while, buttons started to stick, big and clunky... i could go on. it's a phone for kids.
2. Let me know when you can actually sync your iPhone library to another laptop other than the initial one and actually put your music on there without starting all over again, unlike the iPod in which that is possible.
3. Safari crashes more than the damn crash dummies. The %$%* is about as stable as crack head.
4. I take it you haven't had to return an iPhone yet. I had to exchange one because I had dirt under my screen. The quality on the new iPhones are the absolute worse.
MMS, copy & paste, A2DP, multi-tasking > iPhone(wait until the summer then you will have those features that even a FREE phone has). If a phone defines who or what you are then you deeper issues than what you think

sidekick is a kiddy phone, that's not up for debate. all sorts of people would come in to buy iphones, appeals to a much larger demographic.i've been a heavy iphone user since day one and have never had a 'unresponsive' touchscreen. take care of your screen and it works fine. mysidekick keyboards, however, would stick together from lots of use and the swivel screen would get stuck. poor quality.
i know a bunch of iphone users and none have called it 'garbage'. so there goes that argument.

damn, I'm in no rush to buy a new sk but those features look nice.
too bad I have to pay full price since 29.99 data only went to $55 data only and I'm NOT going to lose that!
edit:
theres a SLIGHT way around its a but very very very very very very annoying long process

So because you've NEVER heard of it does that mean it hasn't happened? You sound like the typical iPhone die hard because you said take care of yourscreen and it works fine. A dead pixel, as an example, has NOTHING to do with the end user or the fact that there was light leak because of quality control. Go check out some forums such as Howard & Mac Rumors and read the good and bad. I know alot of people who have called the iPhone garbage so yeah that goesthat argument. I guess because you said that the SK is a kiddy phone and people come in to the APPLE store to buy an iPhone that settles itClassic post indeed

You do know that "bland layout" is one of the easiest OS to navigate through on a cell phone, right?

I think the SK is a chick phone.
I always see a chicks with them, but I held it a couple of times and I just cant stand it. I coulde never go back to a non touch acreen phone (word to theprotouch)
I hate not being able to choose whats right on the screen

if you can't take away the info from my posts then that's on you. taking care of your phone isn't difficult. i took care of both sidekicks i'vehad and after a lot of use it didn't matter. there are no 'adults' i see using those kid phones. anybody who says otherwise is lying through theirteeth. i've read howardforums, macrumors, again i've worked at apple, i know the deal. there are flaws with it, but it's a much better phone withtons and tons of apps and a new OS looming.

If you can't admit that the sidekick is marketed for teenagers then that's on you. I don't know any grown +#+ man or professional that would rock atony hawk or LRG edition phone. Be serious.

Well thank you captain obvious. Aim + texting = teenagers, does a grown man use aim? Yes, not as much as teenagers do obviously, but grown men useaim as well. The SK is perfect for that. If you honestly care what people think about you cause of a certain phone you have, you sir are way too into yourimage. Get what you like and whats convenient to you.
