If this phone was free, I'd be able to overlook the fact that it doesn't have freakin' EDGE. But when you're charging $99, you're competing with much better phones like the Motorola Q and Samsung U740. Heck, those phones are better than the SK3, much less the iD. Although the Sidekick was a great idea, it has barely been improved since the original was released 5 years ago. The screen hasn't been improved since the CSK from 2003, the camera quality is laughable, it's bulky, and on the "new and improved" SK3, call quality is horrible. I have two friends with SK3s and I avoid talking to them on their sidekicks-- that's how bad it is-- and others do too. All SK3s have an echo problem. Although things sound fine to the SK user, the person on the other end hears an echo of their voice CONSTANTLY. It's delayed about 2 seconds. How ridiculous. Even free phones are a million times better than this crap-- look at the Samsung T619. EDGE, 1.3 MP camera, Bluetooth, quadband, and a screen that, although smaller, has a higher resolution than any Sidekick. Oh, and your friends won't refuse to talk to you on it!]]></description><dc:creator><![CDATA[chuck]]></dc:creator><pubDate>Apr 13th 2007 10:39PM</pubDate></item><item><title><![CDATA[Comments on Sidekick iD vs Sidekick 3 hands-on gallery]]></title><link>http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/13/sidekick-id-vs-sidekick-3-hands-on-gallery/</link><guid isPermaLink="true">http://www.engadget.com/2007/04/13/sidekick-id-vs-sidekick-3-hands-on-gallery/</guid><description><![CDATA[No 3G, no touchscreen, closed OS.<br><br>I've always said, and will continue to say, that the only thing the Sidekick has going for it (besides hipster and emo cred) is its form factor, which is actually kind of cool.
