How to tell the difference between each model.

Some people get confused about which sidekick is waht. Some sellers on eBay even make mistakes about which product they are selling. I will now give you a guide to show consumers how to identify which sidekick is which.

Sidekick Original



This is the first sidekick to ever hit stores. It is almost exactly like the sidekick 1. This sidekick does not have a color screen. I believe the features are the same from the sidekick 1 (See "Features" section), although, there is no camera attachment for the original sidekick. I do not recall hearing much about this phone, the color version must have been released somewhat close to this one.

Sidekick I


The sidekick 1...flip out the screen and experience color! This phone has a brilliant color screen as well as the usual features (as shown on the "Features" page). This phone also has a camera attachment option, because this version does not have a built in camera. I like the keys on this model because they are raised up a little bit and are very easy to type on. The downside about this phone is that the screen, when folded down, adds some buld to it when using it as a phone. This is a great phone for instant messengers who always want to keep in touch on the go.

Sidekick II


The sidekick II is one of the most well known members of the sidekick family. It has all the usual features (as mentioned on the "Features" page) but the sidekick II has an embedded camera with flash. Also, this phone is different from the previously mentioned models. There are different buttons on the front of this model, and there are also new buttons to make this phone even easier to use. Also, the sidekick II is 25% thinnder than the other models, so it is easier to use while using the phone function. The phone now has two different scoll buttons on opposite sides of the front. This phone also has make/accept call button (green button) and an end button (red phone).

When looking at only the back of this phone, you could easily mistake it for a real camera, and not a cell phone. The screen doubles as a viewfinder for the camera. This phone is very popular aomong celebrities. This phone is ideal for people who want to get the most out of a phone, and for IMers who like to keep in touch while on the go.
