![]() For example why “Rodeo”? Perhaps it is the rope symbolizing a lasso, and hence a rodeo, or perhaps it is the palm tree symbolizing Rodeo Drive, or perhaps the designer had too many hours in a row at the screen and not enough diet Coke, but there you are. I’m not really sure why they chose the names that they did. Because with the new Sidekick 3 you get your choice of 4 jump screen “backgrounds”: Liquid, Rodeo, Madison, and Surface. Wait, did I say the “default” jump screen? The default jump screen is roughly the same, although the icons for the applications are more stylized. #SIDEKICK TMOBIL FULL#Upon powering up (you waited the full four hours, right?) you’ll note that even the power up screen is different, displaying a bunch of cute little icons just before you get to the jump screen (home screen). No more propping it up against the salt shaker at the dinner table. Oh, and the Sidekick 3 stands up on its side by itself now. Side view of Sidekick 3 (left) and Sidekick II (right) Sidekick 3 (left) compared to the Sidekick II (right). The new Sidekick 3 is sleeker, a bit thinner, and somehow a bit more modern or techie looking. Now, the differences between the Sidekick 3 and the Sidekick II are obvious before you even plug the device in. Of course, you should follow the instructions. The instructions say to let it charge for 4 hours. #SIDEKICK TMOBIL INSTALL#Oh, and while you have the back open, locate your SD card (!) in the box, and install that too. ![]() So, the quick-start steps for the T-mobile Sidekick 3 are: Rip open the box, remove both the Sidekick and the battery, install your SIM card, install the battery, and plug it in. It now goes in the back, under the battery (almost like – gasp – a mobile phone). Now, before you put that battery in, note Surpise #2: they have moved the location of the SIM card. Your tips via CashApp, Venmo, or Paypal are appreciated! Receipts will come from ISIPP. The Internet Patrol is completely free, and reader-supported. The first instinct will be to grab the Sidekick and charge it, with it never occurring to you that there might be an intergral part of the device at the bottom of the box. Believe it or not, this will not be obvious to users of previous versions of the Sidekick, as the device is at the top of the box when you open it, and the battery is at the bottom, hidden from view under a layer of cardboard. ![]() Surprise #1: the new Sidekick 3s have a removable battery! So you have to put the battery in before it will take a charge. Nice!Īs I was actually on my way out the door, I grabbed the box, got in the car, and hungrily ripped open the box so that I could start charging my Sidekick 3 with my vehicle charger. ![]() And I was pleasantly surpised when my brand new Sidekick 3 arrived at my door the next day, despite having requested 2-day service. It should suprise nobody that I was first in line to order a T Mobile Sidekick 3. ![]() #SIDEKICK TMOBIL FREE#Join our free Sidekick3 email discussion list!Ĭall it what you want – T-Mobile Sidekick 3, Danger Sidekick, Sidekick Phone, or just plain Sidekick (just not Sidekick III, please, because they have done away with the Roman numerals with the introduction of the Sidekick 3), the T Mobile Sidekick 3 is the hottest new device to hit the streets. ![]()
