Although Sidekick phones don’t get good ratings from users, T-Mobile insists of giving it a try in 2008 by releasing the all new Sharp Sidekick 2008 in a smaller and lighter body. Like its predecessors, the Sidekick 2008 also features swivel design that slides to reveal a full QWERTY keyboard that allows users to text-messaging and emailing faster. Features and specifications of the Sidekick 2008 includes a 2.0-megapixel digital camera, a MP3 digital music player, microSD memory expansion slot, Stereo Bluetooth connectivity, and 3.5” headphone jack that allows you to plug in your favorite noise-canceling headphone.

Some of the cons of this Sidekick phone include lacking of 3G network connectivity and missing GPS navigation system.

SideKick 2008 WOES

After using the Sidekick 2008 the only FLAW that I have found that pissed me off more then anything is that there is no FLASH nor can you adjust the camera in any way. No Zoom Feature, No light Setting or anything. The only thing you can change is the picture size and resolution. Example: In order for you to take a picutre you have to have desent lighting otherwise your pics are black. So no taking pictures while at clubs or at night time.

I rank it 4 out of 5 stars because it is a great phone and does have a lot of options, but it lacks a lot of things most users may want. For example, it doesn't have a built in flash, It is nearly impossible to take great pictures in low lighting areas without a flash. It doesn't support alot of java games from third-party vendors, ie if its not tmobile branded or license agreement with tmobile, you might not be able to play it. The only other thing is if you upgrade to this phone from a non sidekick phone before you billing cycle ends, you will have to wait until your cycle starts over again before you can get the sidekick plan, which is very much needed if you want security keylock and internet and messaging. Other than this, I love this phone, I bought this phone a few days before it hitting the retail shelves, and I would recommend it to everyone.

I love this phone! I have it in my hand right now and at the same time I have my raging b0ner in my other hand! I am doing this so I can spank my meat because that's how awesome this phone is! Even better, when my nut does bust and I get something on the phone, it easily wipes off! The only con of the phone is that the camera has no flash so when I'm taking pictures of me touching myself in a dark alley to pictures of Miley Sirus you can't really make out what I'm doing. I would recommend this phone to everyone!

I have heard so much stuff about this phone and my boyfriend has one and it is soooo cool... Eventhough he doesn't have his on a plan it's prepaid he can still use the internet unlimited and message unlimited, for just $1.00 a day. The only flaw against it is the little space for video recording and the no flash on the camera... But other then that i can't wait to get mine and have my boo on the shell!

You can't record your own ringtone, you are stuck with the ringtones they provide which are either jazz or elevator music of sorts. Not to mention that you need to buy a data package in order to download a calculator because this phone doesnt have one.
