CNET Review
The Good: The T-Mobile Sidekick iD carries an affordable price tag and features interchangeable bumpers for customization. The handheld also comes preloaded with popular instant messaging clients, its own e-mail account, and an HTML Web browser.
The Bad: The Sidekick iD strips out too many features, most notably a camera. Surfing the Net on the device is slow without the EDGE speeds.
The Bottom Line: The T-Mobile Sidekick iD offers all the great messaging capabilities of the Sidekick 3 at half the price, but the rest of the handheld's feature set is very limited; too bare-bones, in our opinion. That said, young, cash-strapped kids will find the iD to be a good option.

Review Summary: So, apart from its smaller size, changeable shells, Danger OS version 4.7, and a slight bump from a 1.3MP to 2.0MP camera, we really do not see any reason to get this over the LX apart from having a newer phone. Sure it has the few features that are ...
