Motorola Sidekick User Reviews

Motorola's all singing all dancing phone with a keyboard was all over certain pop music videos and pitched as a rival to the likes of HTC, Blackberry based phones but I really don't like it.

My main gripe was the keyboard - I am a girl - I have fingernails - this meant the keyboard was almost impossible to use. I had real trouble typing anything and also found the open and close mechanism not to be as slick and smooth as I had hoped.

Functionality wise this phone has everything you would expect - the screen is nice and bright and clear to read. I did love the black and internal metallic colour scheme of the phone casing but felt the overall feel was too chunky and this wasn't really as pocket or handbagable as alternatives on the market. In some ways this phone reminds me of a cheap sci-fi prop rather than a really modern of futuristic item.

I can really see what they were going for with this phone - but think it just didn't quite get anything right enough for me to keep hold of it. I would recommend keyboard HTC phones instead.
