You are right panacea all the cell phone carriers are rip off when you talk about the full price for a phone. BUT if tmobile is suppose 2 be a cheap carrier right? there high end phones shouldnt not be so exspensive REMMEBER THEY SUPPOSE TO BE A CHEAP CARRIER example the iphones is worth $499.99 look at all it can do and the looks of it! at other carriers phones have more to offer and full 3g everywhere thats why it cost that much full price for there phones tmobile offer you the basic stuff for a big ass price tag full price for there phones. Yeah they offer you alil gps and applications and surf your phone web broswer and ppl get hyped up because it does all that but other carriers high end phones even some basic's phones does just about the same but alil bit more. another example the g1 was a cheap quality phone and easy to make you know how much a g1 cost full price $399.99 and it only cost $150 to make lol how can ppl really trust tmobile specially with them saying on the behold and the memior you get real web browsing exspierence and you dont you get wap web2go broswer lol actually I had to hack my rose behold so i could surf real web pages and even that didnt help that much thats asham tmobile gottin so bold they even going up on there plans they talking about the want to phazeout the $39.99 plan and have the cheapest plan $49.99what happened to there slogan CHEAP HAPPY AND FUN aka the hip carrior for young ppl HMM?? I said enough about that but tmobile usa divison will get bought out one day there #4 on the forbes list not good when you got a falling empire sprint as number 3 TMOBILE IF YOU DONT STRAIGHTIN UP YOU ACT YOUR GONNA LOSE ALOT OF YOUR REMAINING CUSTOMERS TO BOOST MOBILE OR ECT. and just alil words of advice if you on flex pay non contract go to boost mobile and hop on the $50.00 plan unlimited go somewhere where you going to get worth you money boosthave crappy phones but shit $50.00 unlimited plan and texting hmm im done case close

Sidekicks are old and bulky that sidekick should not be no $499.00 full price and dont even mention on top of the $499.00 the 18.00 upgrade fee smh. Sidekicks are old news tmobile needs to come out with something better then that so what it has gps and applications and ect it still shouldnt cost that much let me guess every time tmobile comes out with a 3g phone with applications and gpsits gonna be 399.99 to 499.99 and up thats bull crap tmobile 3g is not even fully up and running yet they are scamming ppl big time I bet you it didnt even cost that much to make that sidekick lx 2009 whats gonna happen when 2010 come in lol you just wasted $499.99 im not hating im just telling it like it is tmobile are a rip off and they know exactly what they doing to flex pay and pre paid customers they making it difficult for them so they can leave so they can have more contract customers so they can quietly phazeout the flex pay plan. Don't get me wrong its a nice sidekick better then the original Lx I asked one of tmobile reps why there phones cost to much even with the discount and they told me tmobile makes the prices not the factory hmm. i know what tmobile up too they feel like this everybody says they want there carrier to have nice phones but we going to make the flexpay customers suffer because there prepaid so we going to put all these hidden fees and charges on them example ( $18.00 UPGARDE FEE )well you see for yourself one day I hope someone buy them out there just a unprofessinal company.

@Tayaa

I think you're blowing this way out of proportion. I'm not saying the new Sidekick is the greatest device ever but it's not bad. If you look at the "no-contract" price of other carriers high end phones you'll find that the prices are very similar to T-mobile. For example on Verizon the Omnia is about $530 and the Touch Diamond which is over a year old is $499. So if T-mobile is a rip off, then everyone is. Now as far as plans go, T-mobile has by far the best prices out of the top 4 carriers. Yes T-mobile's 3G network is in it's infancy, but it's growing pretty fast and where 3G is available you get very good browsing speeds and fast downloads. T-mobile is the best overall value out of the major carriers in the US. Also, no they probably won't get bought out Deutsche Telecom owns them (a huge multinational company). I'm not trying to start an argument with you, I'm just telling you that compared to the other carriers T-mobile is very reasonably priced.

Go to hiptop3.com to check out the SKLX09 Manual if you wanna know more about it.Sidekick LX 2009 manual

I'm getting the SK because I like it and it will be my first after waiting over the years,it will do me good for a person like me who is hearing impaired,I can go to a site and download a free software made just for kicks and Blackberries for the hearing impaired.

SK's aren't just made for kids it's for everyone,a kids toy is something like Leap Frog.

I was told it's the first sidekick you can plug into your pc or lappy and use it as a modem.Noah,see if it does do that and get back to me before I get mine soon,lol..


So check out the manual save it to your documents to read.

Does this phone need a data plan?

fecklessrudie @ May 8 10:51 PM
You don't *need* a data plan unless you want to IM, email, browse the catalog and internet, and do other stuff other than text and use the phone. So I'd recommend having the data plan because it's worth it. Once you get it, most of the time, you'll wonder how you lived without it.

This is how the data plans work:

TMO Plans with Voice

$24.99 unlimited data 400 txt sms

$34.99 unlimited data and txt sms

Without Voice

$44.99 unlimited data 400 txt sms

$54.99 unlimited data and txt sms.

Those who are business wise with Blackberries the cost will be $54.99 unlimited data and txt sms.
