I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | 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? 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 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 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!!

I Love My Lil' Punkin's Donating Member | Thanks SO much everyone All of your replies were greatly appreciated!! 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 Thanks again so much for all of your replies, they were much appreciated!

| Neither 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 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 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 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.

| 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
