Can you post some sample pics taken with the slide’s camera?

Do you know if bluetooth can send files yet? Or is it still the lame headset only stuff.

I have the slide, and I’ve had it for a week now. It’s an amazing phone, best hiptop ever. I have had the hiptop 2/3. I am already over the fact the swivel is gone. I don’t only like the hiptop for the gimmick. I like it for the o/s and quality IM/txt/email.
The lx is bulky, ugly colours, and still made from sharp. Every hiptop they’ve made has had a major major fault. For instance the hiptop 2, the phone would restart and delete all your stored information then take at least 40 minutes to get it back. And the hiptop 3 actually fell apart. All the faceplates came off.
Kudos Motorola!

hey umm do u know if sidekick slide has a blue tooth?
cuz some of ppl said it does
but some said it doesnt
can u plz tell me
ok thanx bye

I have had the LX for about a month now and its to my opinion the best phone out.The screen its beautiful the web browser its faster the cams faster and the mood lights jus make the phone look cooler all and all its a major step up from the sk3

i just got a sidekick slide and its amazing

but sometimes if i like open it to fast or somethin…it restarts itself

if anyone has the phone can somebody get at me and tell me if they have the same problem

there is a recall on phones that restart. There is bad battery connection. Call t mobile

no man i dont have the same problem dude
maybe your finger hit the power button on accident

Omg yea tht happens to me like it rstarts and I lose all my data

Same here it always restarts like wat do I do?

Well, I don’t have a Sidekick, even though I’d just about kill to have one, but I’ve done hours after countless hours of research on them, and the Slides are temporarily unavailable, because T-Mobile said people complained of the problem of the Slide turning off when they slide the screen. So, just to let you know, it’s happened to plenty of other people. So, if I were you lucky guys with Slides, I’d go check out what you can do at a T-Mobile store. Maybe they’ll repair it?? I hope this was helpful. =)

This is in response to bob who posted on 11]9, I too had the slide and after a week took it back because it was restarting as soon as I slide the screen down to fast, tmo did not know why so i just returned the phone. I also had replaced it twice adn the second slide had the same issues

Has anybody compared the sk slide and lx to the tmobile wings? Ild like to know witch one is better in your opinion.

THE WING SUCKS

DO NJOT GET IT
IT FREEZES AND ITS SO SLOW

MY SIDEKICK SLIDE RESTARTS ITSELELF AND I LOSE ALL MY DATA :[

Yo does the sidekick slide really restart? 1 of my friends told me that the phones is better than the lx cuz it lastest longer and the speaker phone is louder.

P.s. Does it really cut off? I wanna know cuz I wanna get it but not if it cuts off. Let me know. My email is j.rico17@yahoo.com

I just bought a slide 2 days ago and put it through hell new phones do not restart

its fixed now. i just got my slide back and it does not restart. they fixed it and i have to say it is the BEST phone out right now.

Um Were exactly did u get it fixed

i am really thinking about getting a slide, but everyone is saying it restarts when you slide it and i really dont want that to happen can i get it fixed, or have side kick fixed this problem?

I’m really interested in getting the slide. I looked at them tonight and I have a few questions. I’ve heard you can’t get picture messages or send them?? I also heard it doesn’t play MP3s…you can’t set MP3s as ring tones and they don’t have an alarm clock or calculator???!!! Is this all true? Or is it the 3 only?? Please help!

um the calculator and alarm can be downloaded for free in the catalog and it does have mp3s and you can send pictures…. wherever you got this info from is really unaccerate. ring tones can be used.

Hey about the whole ‘the sk slide doesnt play music’. you have to have this thing called a micro sd card for it. you can get it at walmart or best buy or whatever and it comes in a little adapter which should fit in most computers. from there, you just drag your music to it. good luck =] however i am having the problem with recieving picture messages

well all u people with sk slides dont have to worry anymore. motorola has been able to fix the problem of restarting. they said it had to do something with the battery contacts. well the sk slide is back in the t-mobile web site. they fixed the phone on think the 23 of december. the thing is that if you buy a sk slide u wont have the restart problems.

I have a sidekick slide..im actually on it right now. I think its the greatest everr. And to carly it does play music it does receive picture messages. 4 the calculator and alarm clock you have to go to the catalog thing and install them. The calculator is free but im not sure about the alarm clock. And motorola fixed the problem because I have 1 ..got it mid-january…and it works perfect! I recomend this phonee to all texters!!

can anyone confirm me the problem with the restart when u slide it too fast? thanks.

yea i jus wanted 2 no which 1 is better da sidekick slide or da sidekick lx cuz i am probably gonna get 1 but idk which 1 2 get

Well both of them are cool I have the slide and my frend has the lx and we compare all the time the only thing is that if u want a larger phone u should get the lx but If you’ll like a smaller 1 the slide is a good choice. But they are like the same thing but jus diffrent sizes really

I am having trouble transfering a file from another fone to my Slide. It says about a wrong format or something. I tried transfering both song and picture and no luck. Anybody know how to fix that??

omg i want a slide. if ur switching to it does it have to come with the 2 year contract??

I just got my slide, and I love it. There is one thing that it bothering me though,the battery life. But I guess thts due to wb browsing,aim, and the lame game that comes on it takes a lot of battery.

why can i get my picture mesages to my phone n not my online count?

I have the slide & have had it since right before christmas. I got it after tmo fixed the situation with the restart. It still restarts but I get all my pics, texts, emails etc back asap. I love this phone. I am very happy with it & preffer the sliding feature better than the flip. Everytime id try out the others in store I felt like the screen would flip right off & fly across the room. Once your used to the phone you CAN slide it open with one hand. I love the slide.

hey guys, i’m thinking of getting the slide, i’m just not sold on the keypad. The buttons look small and hard to push down, is it easy to use?

I got a slide and its the best sidekick that has come out. I’m on it right now actually and as many people have said that the keyboard sucks..it really doesn’t. ofcourse your going to feel a bit wierd typing the first few days but after a day or two its awesome. you can adapt real quik. the battery power rocks and the speaker is way louder. although if you have giant hands I would recommend the lx, since the keyboard buttons are farther apart and easy to use. the slide screen is wayy cool aswell..I had gotten bored of the swivel screen so its something fresh and new.

This is my 4th Slide in the past 2 months. I just signed up with TMobile in Feb and the store sold me a phone that was constantly restarting itself. I received 2 more with similar problems and the only reason why this is my 4th is because I love everything about the Slide and I’m not giving up that I can find one that works! So far so good. TMobile is great with replacing the phone and I received all of my replacements within 2 days. Just so you all know if there are people out there that are still having problems with their Slide, they are replacing it, at no additional cost with the Blackberry Pearl. Nice phone but doesn’t compare to the Slide and the awesome qwerty keyboard!

i just got my sidekick slide acouple days a go . I had the sidekick id and it really bugged me i didnt have the cool featurs . and i agree the slide is easy to use small slide right into your pocket or handbag and is really sleek and shiny. Thia is a great phone for males or females . Everyone is saying the keyboard is hard to us ebut thats way over there heads the keyboard buttons arent plastic ,or hard to push, or even rubbery . There small and easy to press down on and the dont make nise when you text like the previous sidekicks . The slide is much smaller than the lx and comes in better colors than ugly brown and blue. If you have huge hands I would recomend the lx for u boys out there. And for all you girls out there the slide is sa perfect adjustment for womens small petite fingers . And the slide screen is so fun to slide up and down and the screen resolution and web is exscisid so motorla great job and two thumbs up you really now how to deliver.

With the blue tooth. Can you send and receive data, or is it just connect to headsets?

I get my slide this weekend, and I was just wondering, can you actually set MP3 files as ringtones? Because I’ve read everywhere that you can’t, but surely you can because of the new phones nowadays and stuff. Anyone help me?

x

unfortunately you can’t

Okay, so I got my slide and the only things I’m dissapointed in is that it doesn’t have an alarm clock, and you cant send things to the slide via bluetooth. Kinda annoying, but I guess I’ll get used to it :)

I just got my sidekick slide on thursday and now its taking forever to charge! whats wrong with it? do u think its taking forever bc i didnt charge it for one whole day that the battery drained out?

im geting a sidekick like in 2 weeks but im stuck between the slide or the lx which one is better??? and whats with the slide not receiving pic messages???

I have a sidekick slide and i am in love with it! The only problem is the whole restarting thing. I had heard that motorola was fixing the problem and that they were going to send new phones out. bob i would like to know where you got urs fixed.

the slide does receive picture messages and you can send them too.

Does the Sidekick Slide have video capture? Or is the camera just for pictures?

I have the slide and I love it but the only thing that gets to me well 2 things that I don’t like are 1. When im browsing and im on an image and push the menu button there is no option to save the image and 2. U can’t use pics from your camera or anything to use as a background oh and the camera sucks

Well actually there is a way to save a picture on your phone from a browser..but it works better if you google search images . All u do is go to google..type in what picture you want..click on the image..than click on the TOP LINK..you should than see the image and only that image..you than hold the menu key the shift key(white arrow) and the letter “p”..a message should appear saying it was save to ur device album =)..you could also make ur own backgrounds using your own pictures if you go to skslidethemes.com as long as you have a memory card its good to go! Hope I helped

I have had thew sidekick slide for months now. The calculator is in the download catalog and is free and the alarm clock is in the catalog to but you have to pay for it. Music and pictures is really easy to put on your phone if you have a micro sd card, just plug the phone into a usb port and a window will open on your computer and click on open files to view files. Click on the folder called music and click and drag and there’s no taking your phone apart like some people have suggested. Pictures can be put on your phone the same way but insted of opening the music file open the DCIM folder. The only thing that has happened to my slide is the power chord screwed up. If you really want to boost your slide get the terminal client in the download catalog and if you have a ssh2 or telnet server on your computer you can connect to it wirelessly from anywhere as long as your computer is on and the server is running. With this you can copy files check email run application like word itunes and any other system applications you have. The only thing I found out about the slide is that on some websites it says that cookies is tured off. I don’t know what would cause this and I am looking into it.

..um can u receive sound messages, n set them as a ringtone?

The slide is great. I’m on it wright now. 1 complaint. You still can’t watch or take videos. My old piece of shit nokia could do that. But the im and email are perfect. As well as the web browser. Anyone else with a sk im me. Santiago11b@aol.com
