Which One? Blackberry Pearl or T-Mobile Sidekick 3? I will be getting a new cell phone and am totally stuck between the Blackberry Pearl and the T-Mobile Sidekick 3. I have no idea which one to choose. Does anyone here have either one of these phones and if so, what do you like/dislike about them? I do alot of texting, which is one reason I was looking into the Sidekick, BUT...a good camera is also really important to me and the Blackberry Pearl seems to have a much better one from what I saw today when I went into T-Mobile to look at them both. I DO like the fact that the Sidekick has a bit bigger screen on it - but as my husband was saying....what is more important? A screen that is a little bigger, or one that is much more clear? :rolleyes: Makes total sense to me. One thing I do worry about with the Sidekick though is the way it swivels open. I am just wondering if over time it gets loose or flimsy and if anyone here has ever had it actually break on them? Because for the price, I really don't want to go through all that :rolleyes: Anyway, I will be reading reviews online for both phones, but if anyone here could give me some reviews on them, that would be great as I trust pretty much everyone here ;) Thanks! |
I have the Blackberry Pearl with T Mobile and I love this phone. I don't text message much but I do email, and this phone is great for that! |

i would say a sidekick... would LOVE to have one if Alltel offered one... |
Brooke I have the Blackberry - I can not live with out my email girl and I love it for that!! I do not know much about the sidekick so can not help you there but I do love my blackberry!! :thumbup: |
i have a sidekick and i adore it!!!! i have heard the blackberry is good too but i do love my sidekick!! it does not have a good camera at all, but it has great email and text messaging and aim, yahoo, and msn messenger! also it is cheaper to have a sidekick then a blackberry. the blackberry service doesnt come with unlimited texting and the sidekick does! thats the main reason i havent switched, bc it is more reasonable. plus, i am really hard on my phone, i drop it at least once a day if not more and it withstands a lot...hope this helped, any more questions feel free to ask!! |
mmm, how about the iphone instead? hahha, i kid. my friends sidekick actually broke pretty easily, so i recommend the blackberry! - Peggy |
I have the BB Pearl. LOVE LOVE LOVE it...my boyfriend just got one too he liked mine so much. It has tons of features; and can be customized like crazy. I highly recommend |
Thanks SO much everyone :D All of your replies were greatly appreciated!! :thumbup: I ordered the Sidekick this morning as it is just so great for texting, which I do ALOT of. I really do like the Blackberry Pearl as well though - and it seems to take GREAT pictures...but, I DO have my digital as my main camera, so really that aspect of it isn't THAT big of a deal. And the Sidekick does have a camera, so as long as it DOES have one, I'm good to go ;) Also, I do alot fo IM'ing with Yahoo, and AOL on my phone...and the Sidekick has these messengers (as well as MSN messenger) already built in - which is perfect for me. It just had alot to offer that I needed (full QWERTY keyboard, built in IM's, camera, MP3 Player, Bluetooth, Online capabilities, large screen, etc., etc.) :) Was quite pricey, but hopefully I will love it and it will be well worth it ;) :thumbup: Thanks again so much for all of your replies, they were much appreciated! :thumbup: |
Neither :p Its all about Iphone (just kidding) Cant not wait for it to come out this month I was thinking about getting the BP pearl too vs blackjack. I'm not to fond of SK3 since I alrady have SK2. but since tmobile pissed me off yesterday It kinda help me to not renew my contract and just move on to AT&T ( Cingular ) |

Never again :p I have never had a Sidekick, but read online that the SK3 is supposed to be much better than the SK2. Again, this is just what I have read from several reviews. I actually didn't read hardly ANYTHING bad about them at all. I messed around with it for quite a while in T-Mobile yesterday though, and I think I will really like it and think it will be perfect for me ;) :thumbup: My friend just got the Blackjack 2 days ago and seems to like it so far although she said that it seems very complicated, but then again she isn't very tech savvy :p Not to mention she has only had it for the 2 days, so it will probably take her a while to figure out all the specs on it and learn how to use it. |
How'bout the Iphone! It is really really cool!Can't wait to get it:D |
I'm obsesssed with my sk3!!! I love it...so easy to chat and text and I can access the internet as well. I haven't had any trouble with the screen. I know it feels kinda flimsy but it's pretty durable. All my friends have sidekicks and no ones had trouble w/ the screen yet. You will love it =D |
yea....so happy u got the sidekick!!!!!! you will love it!!!!!!!!!!:) |

Brooke honey, where have you been? I hadn't seen you. LOL. What happened to the games? Those were fun. Anywho, I love the sidekick. I had the sidekick 2 and then my husband's job moved us all the way over here to dairyland where's there plenty of cheese but no T-mobile. :(. I had to give it up and got a Treo. But I loved loved loved it. I'm a text freak.LOL. |
Why don't you hold out and wait for the iPhone? It does everything! |
I have a sidekick. I am actually on it now. I love. |
isnt the iphone only with cingular??? |
from all my friends having the blackberry...i would tell you to run the other way...kekek..they seem to have a lot of problems with their phone...for instance you can't even bluetooth ringtones to them... |

Wow alot of people mentioned the iphone but yes - it is a Cingular only phone from what I know, and I am a T-Mobile customer for over 7 years so I won't be switching :D Plus, we had some SERIOUS, ON GOING issues with Cingular a couple of years ago when my husband had his cell phone through them at work - so to be quite honest I won't ever deal with those people again. They made me SO angry and to make a long story short we lost over $200 with them - it was a HUGE mess that they REFUSED to fix and I was being told for about SIX MONTHS that the problem was going to be taken care of and then at the end (after what seemed like 900 phone calls I made to them) - they didn't do ANYTHING at all to help us, and we lost a big chunk of change that we SHOULDN'T of lost. I have NEVER had issues like that with T-Mobile and they have always had great customer service in the over 7 years that I have been with them, plus I have an AWESOME plan that you can't get anymore as it is a preferred customer plan that I signed up for about 2 years ago - so I will always have my service with them. Plus, everyone in my family uses them, so we can all talk for free ;) |

Are the games still going on??? LOL :D :p :lol tears GIRL - I am soo cracking up about the dairyland and cheese thing!! :yelrotflm You are so funny girl!! LOL :D I am so glad to hear though, that you loved the Sidekick! I honestly haven't heard hardly ANYTHING bad about this phone and I'm serious. Usually when you are looking up reviews on cell phones you find quite a bit of negative stuff about them (along with the good as well) but I was just really so surprised that I found hardly anything negative at all being said about the Sidekick :thumbup: My hubby has a Treo (the newest one) and he loves his. In fact this is his 2nd one now since he upgraded from his last one. I am really glad to hear that you loved the Sidekick though. And GIRL, let me tell you...I am a text freak too, lol :p |
Yup. I did love it. And when I first got I didn't want anything to even brush against it. Then my cousin hooked me up with a lady that put BLING on them. So I got an argyle bling. I miss it :(. My little cousin still has it in Texas. Not one stone has fallen off and it's still as sparkly as ever. I only paid $50 to have it BLINGED out. LOL. I will not do that to my Treo though. I do have a pink Hello Kitty Silicone cover on it though. I tend to drop phones a lot. LOL. |

Got It! 1 Attachment(s) Oh, I just HAD to post an update!!! :D I thought that my phone would be coming in today...but I actually got it YESTERDAY evening :D :cheer: Oh my GOSH.....I LOVE this thing!!!! :thumbup: I basically have the entire phone already figured out as I spent HOURS playing with the thing, lol. I literally could not put it down :D It is so much fun and even though there is alot on the phone, it is surprisingly easier to learn how to use than I thought it would be, but I am pretty good with technical stuff so maybe thats why :p The ONLY thing I am not real happy with is the camera :( BUT, I pretty much knew that it wasn't a great camera as I did try it out in the store - however, I thought that maybe it was just the lighting in the store or whatever...or maybe because the phone itself was hooked up to a bunch of wires so that no one would rip it off - because I could really move it around much from all the wires. Anyway, it does take OK pictures in the correct lighting - and even though it does have a flash, I have found that the pictures taken at night or even when the light isn't too great don't turn out all that wonderful. It takes MUCH better pictures during the day though (see attached picture below - I took it this morning.) Anyway, I do have my digital so probably won't be using this camera a whole lot anyway, but...this phone is just AWESOME!!!!! :D ANYONE with T-Mobile who is considering a new phone should SERIOUSLY check this one out! I don't know how I've been without it for so long :D :thumbup: |
Yeah I did a lot of detective work with it. It was the culprit of some uneventful pictures of my aunts boyfriend with another woman (ooops!). Hey Blood is thicker than Water right? I had to. And it did come in handy to blackmail my brothers. LOL. I love that phone. I can only imagine that the SK3 is even better. Congrats, but don't forget about us here at YT. |
