But I can tell you any Galaxy S phone feels so much more faster than this phone does. I know it technically has the same guts as any Galaxy S phone. im not really digging the mytouch4g/slide's front looks and not liking how the touchscreen is fully exposed on all sides as opposed to the sk4g's screen/slider is protected on two sides. If i were you i'd probably wait until the mytouch 4g slide comes out. but once you are inside of an app it feels just as smooth and snappy as other 1GHz smartphones. most of the lag can be noticed while unlocking, navigating through any custom ui, and switching back to home screen from some apps. i actually think its one of the more better built phones ive had(besides the hd2).Īs for performance, even though it has the same 1GHz hummingbird processor as the galaxy s, tab, etc. better than any htc ive had.(g1, mytouch 3g, hd2, hd7, nexus one).Įven though its mostly made of plastic, its pretty durable and not as 'cheap' feeling as some claim it to be. depending on what rom i had on my hd2, the sk4g's cam took pics just as good.

but the quality of the pictures is pretty good for being 3m. but after comparing to other qwerty androids out there the skg4 seemed to be one of the better. i use my phone a lot for business and the sidekick 4g was the last smartphone on my list. The slider on the sidekick 4g is pretty sturdy.

plus the resolution on the droid pros smaller screen was a turnoff.

The droid pro was my dream form factor for an android phone but since i am happy with tmo there was no way i would switch to verizon just for that phone. i generally avoided android phones with qwerty keyboards because most are sliders and i hate phones with too much movement. coming from all-touch smartphones like the nexus one and hd2 running android and the hd7, i am happy with the sidekick 4g. The quality of the SK also lacks significantly compared to the myTouch. Although, as all Samsung slider keyboards do, it tends to once in a while not register a key when typing. The only thing I liked about the phone was Cloud Text and the phenomenal keyboard. And if you browse the web a lot then this is not your device since the screen is so small. But that might have been wifi callings issue though. That phone wouldn't send or receive texts and it also wouldn't call or receive calls until I restarted. If you want a keyboard get the G2 or wait for the myTouch 4G Slide.ģ days after I got the SK4G I traded it immediately and got a Nexus S instead. but the performance of the phone lacks! I mean it has a 1ghz processor and all, but its nowhere near fast as a vibrant. I would wait for the mt4gs, though, just for its specs and future android development. But for you, as a backup phone this is an awesome investment. If all-touch phones didn't bother me I would go for a mt4g, g2, or wait for the mt4gs. It is highly recommended you get Smooth Maximus for its best value. Overall, especially if you need a physical keyboard, I would suggest this phone.

Only minute issues still remain, yet to be resolved. The phone does come with some bugs and issues, which you can read through the forums (I have a thread over at tmo forums and adroid central entitled 'bug report and other issues'.) However, rooting and getting custom rom Smooth Maximus GingerClone will make the phone a new phone.

It makes using a non-tilt screen really hard to adjust back to. Using my mt3gs after this makes it really apparent. People have dropped plenty times and claim the mechanism is just as sturdy as it was at purchase.Īlso, the screen tilt really makes a difference.

You could pull the halves apart or slide past the closing stop point. Half-phone sliders, like the mt3gs, just feel faulty and flimsy. I especially liked the sliding mechanism.

I was due for an upgrade and even waited until launch date for this over a g2 or mt4g. I decided to get a phone to last a whole two-year contract. I'm the kind of guy who likes to buy phone 2-4x a year. But it's just not the same as a physical qwerty. I came from the mt3gs and a VM optimus v afterwards.
