I didn't get the sidekick slide yet I think It's the best phone out now Is it a good phone this is Terrance Jones When i get my black berry bold phone It will be the best phone for me so I think its the best phone out known because it's a whole phone so if it's a slide it will break faster because someone could break it easier then the black berry phone.
