    Cons: Battery Life is short

    I love this phone I'm 16 and have had cell phone's since I was 12 and i have never had a phone so fun and entertaining as this one. Also i've uses AT&T and Verizon and had noting but problems especially with Verizon, I could go on for hou...rs about them, but T-mobile has been fantastic. their only problem is that there service is limited, but i had the same issue with Verizon. I would give this phone a 9 or 10, I love this phone so much!!!! Read more Less

Pro Reviews: Sidekick iD

  • Let's Talk

    Sidekick iD

    The latest member of the Sidekick family, the Sidekick iD pretty much retains its siblings' look and feel but lacks some of their more high-end features. You won't find an MP3 player, an integrated camera, or even Bluetooth on the Sidekick iD, but you likely won't miss those specs if you want a fun, customizable messaging phone. In short, if you're in the market for a Sidekick Lite that won't break the bank, check out the Sidekick iD. Read more

    T-Mobile Sidekick iD

    The T-Mobile Sidekick iD offers all the great messaging capabilities of the Sidekick 3 at half the price, but the rest of the handheld's feature set is very limited; too bare-bones, in our opinion. That said, young, cash-strapped kids will find the iD to be a good option. Read more
