IMAP and POP are both supported, so any service should be easy to set up, unless you’re some kind of security freak.įinally, browsing the web is always fun, so those wanting to do so should grab a Sidekick 3. E-mails tend to send and receive more quickly due to the EDGE capability of T-Mobile’s network. It’s always nice to be able to keep in touch with friends and an IM client that supports multiple services is always welcome on a device like this.Į-mailing is simple and supports multiple accounts so you can get your Gmail and Hotmail all in one place without having to worry. It’s a well-built client that doesn’t really need a ton of changes. Using it is easy and is the same as the Sidekick II in almost every aspect. The IM client is no longer limited to AOL Instant Messenger and now includes a Yahoo! and MSN login option. Sharp really should have done more research and put more effort into producing a decent antenna to use, since the device is pretty much a brick without a signal. Mediocre is the name of the game, so you’ll find yourself ducking in and out of rooms to produce a signal. Unfortunately, you’re still going to be getting Sidekick-based reception. Calls sound pretty decent on the phone and there is a virtual keypad for dialing without revealing the keyboard. If you want to make a call, just select the “Phone” option and start dialing. Using the music player is also designed to be extremely easy to use and has no lag when changing songs. Tunes sound great on the included headphones and there are dedicated volume buttons for easy adjustment. If you want, throw in the included mini-SD card so you can leave your iPod at home. Pop in the battery and start charging it. Unpacking the Sidekick 3 is nice and simple. The price point may be a bit high for some, though, with the device costing $400 outright or $300 with contract upgrades. So don’t worry at all about sending long messages. It’s about the same as the Sidekick II’s and works better than any Blackberry out there. The keyboard included feels sturdy and is great for fast typing. Viewing photos on it isn’t incredibly impressive, but it’s not terrible either. Don’t plan on taking too many pictures with the Sidekick 3.Ī decent screen is included and works great for your chatting, texting, and e-mailing. The fact that Sharp has the nerve to say they included a 1.3 megapixel camera in this phone means that they either exaggerated the camera’s picture quality or they just made a horrible camera. The camera is technically better than the Sidekick II’s, but the picture quality is still absolutely horrible and isn’t even very good for viewing on phone screens. Although version 2.0 would have been better, most people will just be glad they can use a wireless headset with their Sidekick now.Īnyone who was hoping the 1.3 megapixel camera on the Sidekick 3 would be a vast improvement over its predecessor is in for disappointment.

Also, Bluetooth 1.2 is included for use with headsets. You don’t have to remove the battery to access the SD card though, which is a great design feature. Removing the battery reveals an easy to reach SIM-card slot and mini-SD card slot.
Those fed up with not being able to carry an extra battery will be ecstatic over the new removable battery. Using the included headphones and USB cable, loading music onto your Sidekick 3 is as easy as dragging and dropping music files on the phone. It’s still easy to use and now features a music player application for playing MP3 files. The Danger-based OS the Sidekick 3 uses is not that different than the Sidekick II’s.
