Motorola Sidekick Slide Pros and Cons
In terms of size and width, the most stylish sidekick to date.
HUGE contact list memory available (over 1.5k).
Connection and browsing speed lightning fast.
Excellent display.
Good audio outlet positioning (other moto’s seemed to have failed in this department).
Bad camera (1.3 megapixels? cmon.)
Internal memory pretty crap for a phone of this calibur.
Keypad needs some change/redesigning, too blocky.
Motorola Sidekick Slide User Guide:
Ohh geeze, If you’re stuck on T-Mobile, stay the hellaway from this. For a starting point, the O.S on this brick is so inconsistent and laggy (although the internet Is smooth) and the qwerty key-board is incredibly tight and cramped, making useful and efficient typing a waste of time.
Nah I’ll take a step back, it’s pretty bad but it has its moments and I’m sure there are a lot worse out there. iD reception is fantastic, and in the right conditions, the 1.3 megapixel (although it sounds prehistoric) churns out fairly quality photos.
Haven’t had any problems after owning this for almost 6 months now. How can people complain about the side swivel losing it’s hinges? It seems so solid.
After browsing mostly negative reviews, I bought this phone in the land down under the other week, and it really is better than it’s talked down to be.
The keyboard true, is annoying at first but after a week or so you’ll be tearing up writing messages very quickly. With the latest firmware updated, lots of things such as battery life have been improved. Even though it doesn’t have a 3G network, I compared with my mates N95 on the same site, downloading the same video, and the slide’s gprs and edge competed just aswell. Really, this phone Isn’t bad.
