Sidekick ID: Bringing ugly back?

by Michael Yurechko on Apr 13, 2007 at 04:15 PM

Sidekick ID
Seems T-Mobile and others are having a difficult time keeping quiet about the Sidekick ID. A rebate form was found on the T-Mobile site that provided some information around the new Sidekick, as well as a $50 rebate for when the phone is released.

Other than the obvious fact the device will be released in a variety of colors, the new sidekick is slated for an April 18th launch date. This phone is not the best looking phone I’ve seen, but for $99.99 (after a $50 rebate), why not purchase all 3 colors and mix and match them with your outfits? I’m sure Paris Hilton will.

Update: T-Mobile has now officially announced the Sidekick iD. It will be available in black, yellow, blue, white, purple and glow-in-the-dark starting on April 25th for $99.

  • Hadyn Delani said:

    Oh man, saying this phone is for people who can’t afford a sk3 is a load of ####.
    The only thing an ID doesn’t have is bluetooth, a camera, & an mp3.

    So maybe people who have a camera & an ipod want to buy this instead?
    :D eat my caaaack ‘cause this phone is one tasty #######.

  • SARA said:

    i like the Sidekick ID a lot. It reminds me more of the styling of the SK2 which i prefered more than the SK3. It has all the good features of the SK3 i.e. the click-ball and the hard keypad. And has eliminated the bad like the useless camera and terrible mp3 player.

  • Jenny said:

    I dont think that the sidekick ID is ugly at all. What I do think is ugly is how the SK3 freezes up all the time because of all the useless things on there that you won’t need. the only thing I wish it had was a camera, but hey with the extra money you save why not buy one..you could actually get a good one, unlike the crappy one on the SK3

  • Jenny said:

    Oh, and the SK3 isn’t expensive. I could have gotten it. Its around 100 dollars more. But why would i pay 100 dollars for my phone to freeze up and for a shitty camera. its called using money wisely and not wasting it so i can say i have a more expensive phone. I dont need the SK3.. i have an ipod, and a camera.. so if you wanna talk about affording it.. why dont you just go buy an ipod and camera and save yourself the freezing up, and ugly black keyboard if you’re so rich??

  • Jrock said:

    For all the ignorant people that are saying that the Sidekick iD sucks, I had a long convo with a T-Mobile Representative and he clearly stated that the Sidekick iD is the best phone out of all the Sidekicks, for technical reasons. The Sidekick iD does not bring as many problems as the Sidekick, II, and III.


    Thanks.
    PEACE!

  • blah blah said:

    im getting a sidekick three soon; but if this phone had a camera i would get it in a heartbeat because the SK3 is always breaking especially the side pieces; i have not yet seen a sidekick that hasnt had the broken and the sidekick id; doesnt have that so it wont break easily. you know what i think im going to the get theid instead

  • eldirx said:

    hey am getting the id i could get the sk3 but i hear that there is alot of problems with it, and i called t moblie and they told me that the sidekick id was a better phone and has a way better plan (that include prepaid) so yea (^_^)

  • sara said:

    i think that the sidekick id iz kool!there is nothing wrong with it.so there!

  • taaaayler?!?! said:

    I have a sidekick id and I would say that it is a great phone, easy to text, has its own email, aim, ym, and msn messengers. This phone great for me because it has no camera, and mp3 player. Hey, I already have an ipod and a digital camera. I don’t need those features on my phones and besides the sidekick 3 has a poor camera and yeah its true it has bluetooth and mp3 player but it loses the battery life and freezes all the time when using all the features it has. I would think that this sidekick id was a great idea for people who don’t need too much features on the phone. Sure sidekick id has a slow connection on its internet browser but at least it works and you can go to other websites. The sidekick 3 has the internet but it the same slow connection as the sidekick id. Its fair to say that sidekick id and sidekick 3 has the same problems on the internet connection. The sidekick 4 or lx or the sidekick slider might be more different and more faster internet connection that will come out sooner or later. But, will see if it changes differently or will it stay like sidekick 3 and sidekick id. But overall I’m happy with my sidekick id. the best way to go for faster messaging. I recommend it to all ages.

  • Caitlin said:

    i think it’s pretty sad how all of you think that the Sidekick id [skid] is only for people who cant afford the SK3.

    I think that’s aloud of crap. I’d first like to say you probably dont even know why they even made the sidekick id. they made it for deaf people!! go look it up and get a life. They made it for deaf people and took out all the useless crap to them. like mp3, bluetooth, and camera.

    1. The camera sucks ass anyway!!
    2. who the hell listens to music on their phone. thats retarded. hello mp3 players and ipods!!

    but seriously the Skid is super cute, especialy if you customize it with skins and bumpers, it can look super stylish. and the sidekick id has everyone that the sk3 has except those three useless things. and it’s at a much more affordable price.  i hope to get it soon!!

  • JAY said:

    #### all you I’D transmitter bashers…..the mouth pice kick is tyiet…..and ima hold it down YA DIG. So please hold the disrespectful cmnts,and put those wack ass 3’s down and pick up an I’D bitch’es.

  • locs said:

    so you fools think sk3 is better nahanahanaha you wron if god wants im gonna have the skid soon so im happy about that so just get one i guess is cool.

  • sk3s rule said:

    the sk ID is obvs for people who cant afford a sk3, but now people are going to get black berrys . sks were cute when pratically no one had them and everyone wanted them so this kinda ruins it, oh and the color changing is tacky.

  • lady loca said:
