I have a Sidekick 3 and I do love it, BUT - as a PHONE it drives me crazy
It just bugs me that when I am ON the phone I can't press buttons if I need to because the phone has to be CLOSED SHUT in order for you to use it and put it up to your ear. For example, alot of times I will call and check my bank account over the phone (it is automated) and you have to key in numbers (checking acc. #, PIN #, etc.) - well, I always have to move the phone away from my ear to be able to see what I'm typing since the keys on this phone are different (a full KWERTY keybaord but the keys are VERY small) whereas on a regular phone, I know where the keys are by heart and I can just press them while the phone is still up to my ear. Hope that made sense
Also, it does get on my nerves that in order to dial a number, I have to use BOTH hands and do it with my thumbs versus a regular cell phone (like my previous Razr) where I could just hold the phone in my hand and dial with that same hand as well - again...hope that made sense, lol. Another complaint I have is that my phone (mind you it is a Sidekick 3 - so the one your looking at may be different? I'm not sure) isn't able to take video, AND, for some weird reason I can't send a picture that I take with my phone through text like I could with all my other cell phones. I always end up having to e-mail them to someone instead of texting the pictures directly to their phone, which is VERY annoying. One other thing, and this may not bother some, but it bothers me because I am a camera/picture freak
You cannot set your own pictures as the background/wallpaper on your phone. I just hate that because on my Razr, I would always have either a picture of my babies or my husband and I and I can't do that on this phone
These are all things that I didn't think would bother me all that much, but the fact is, they DO
It is WONDERFUL for texting and receiving e-mail on your phone, but honestly, other than that (and the MP3 player, which alot of phones have now days anyway) this phone sadly really isn't for me
I thought I would just LOVE it - maybe I am just too old for all this? lol. I just want a more simple phone to use
After all, it IS a PHONE....and if I don't like it as a phone, then what the hecks the point?
I almost want to just put my SIM card back in my Razr and start using that again! I know my husband would kill me though because we paid ALOT for the SK3 - eeeek!
P.S. - My next new phone will be a regular, but sleek, Flip Phone - I have now discovered that I like them best LOL
