# 3 Where's Your Sidekick?
To keep in-touch today you need much more than just a cell phone. The T-Mobile Sidekick allows you an easier way to keep in touch with any one you want while you are ‘on the go’. It’s thin, but not small enough to fit in your pocket without looking bulky. Besides that, there are some pretty cool features to it.
The mini computer has a flip screen and small keyboard that you can easily type on. The Sidekick allows you to e-mail, call people, take photos, then send the photos to people, surf the web, and finally use Instant Messenger to keep in touch with everyone you know. If you don’t feel like flipping the screen up to answer a phone call, you have the choice to put it on speaker phone. This is as T-Mobile calls it, “The ultimate communication device”.
You first receive your free t-mobile e-mail account, and after that you can sign up for three more accounts. Just like a regular cell phone, the Sidekick lets you choose your own ring tone, like music clips. The Sidekick also has a personal photo gallery and built in flash for the camera. Some other cool features are the calendar, which you can add birthdays and other scheduled events you have on certain days throughout the week, month, or year. There is also a ‘to do’ list that you can constantly update. Like most cell phones, this phone has caller ID, but you can add a picture of the person calling for when they call the photo pops up.
Recently one problem T-Mobile was introduced to was to look out for hackers. Socialite Paris Hilton’s Sidekick was hacked into and her personal information leaked out all over the internet. All of the celebrities that Paris had in her Sidekick could be e-mailed and called by random people all over the world. Paris recently stated in US Weekly magazine, “I want to apologize to all my friends and family, I don’t know why this stuff always happens to me, but I wish it wouldn’t anymore.” Of course, this hijacked incident wouldn’t be as much of a high concern for regular people because other people wouldn’t be as interested in knowing your information.
Personally after reviewing this, I would be interested in getting one of these devices. I think it would be a neat new way to talk to my friends, plus I could take it everywhere. The only this is, T-Mobile only works well around city areas.
