T-Mobile - Sidekick 2 Cell Phone Review Summary

Larger cell phones often have easy to use features and this is certainly the case with the T- Mobile Sidekick 2 Cell Phone. This cell phone delights reviewers with its large keyboard that makes sending text messages easy. The T- Mobile Sidekick 2 Cell Phone also offers a camera and unlimited e-mail, but critics point out that there is no video, no Bluetooth capability, and ring tones can only be purchased through the parent company. The mixed reviews are evidenced by comments like: “Excellent Cell Phone”, and “It’s Very Complicated to Use”. These differences of opinion make the T- Mobile Sidekick 2 Cell Phone a potentially good Cell Phone depending on what you want in a phone.

The Sidekick 2 is a great phone for someone who utilizes SMS messages and needs email, internet and a way to send pictures while on the go.

The keyboard is the largest and most comfortable that I have ever used on a phone and the phone software automatically corrects common capitalization and punctuation... read full review »

I owned the sidekick 2 for four years. When I first bought it it was light-years ahead of other text-based phones. It's my own fault that I didn't upgrade until now but after upgrading I noticed they haven't improved the speed or quality of the phones internet browser at all. I had three of them, because...

The Sidekick it is the first phone that I've purched from T-Mobile, and I couln't be happier. It is easy tho stay in contact with friends and family through texting when I'm not able to call them. My favorite feature is the My Faves. I put my closest friends and family on the myFaves list, and calls to these five people are free....all the time! I have a daughter that moved across the country, having her on my faves has saved me tons of money.
The size of the screen was something I was looking at when purchesing a phone. My last phone, I could hardly see the text. The sidekick has an awsome screen... read full review »

this is the best cell phone i have had. it of course makes and receives calls and has a good speakerphone, it also has a full qwerty keyboard, and a large clear screen. it has AIM and yahoo chat instant messaging programs, and text messaging. it comes with t-mail email and also a very good internet browser. not 100% like using the internet at home on a computer, but very good for a mobile unit. also has a lot of good add on programs.....games, and lots of word processing, accounting, and productivity programs.

I used a friends for about a day, and its so complicated. I like the key board and screen, but its big and hard to fit in my tight jeans and really hard to hide in class. I like the light and every thing but i always get lost when I'm trying to get from like text to make a call. Plus it has no camera, and that sucks. I'm a teenager, obviously, and have had and tried many cells before and I love this one, but its to confusing. I like the scroll ball though... : )

The sidekick 2 is a sleaker upgrade from the sidekick 1 with built in features that were early sidekick add ons like flash. Though the internet works well the lack of java support doesn't keep up with current interneting needs. If you are a heavy txter the keyboard is great until the pad becomes raised and warped.

Still the simplisity of the menu setup makes this phone easy to navigate even when you aren't looking directly at the phone.

I love my phone! I text constantly and this phone is perfect for that! The keys are kinda big so therefore you dont hits 3 buttons when you mean to press one, like all my other phones have done. Its like typing on my computer. I wouldn't recommend very many phones, but this one is amazing.

The sidekick 2 is great for teenagers who love to text. The phone has great appeal with a lot of features. It offers a catalog for applications and ringtones. There is also a great phone book which gives you the option to add birthdays and occupations of people in your address book.

The TMobile Sidekick 2 is good, although the screen is cheesy and it is reasonable hard to learn the ropes-great for texters...
