Why the Apple IPhone Will Never Be My Sidekick

I am sure that everyone is well aware of the Apple iPhone by now. If you aren't than you are probably living under a rock. I can not remember the last time a cell phone has received such hype, and most of it is rightfully so. However, what if this Apple iPhone isn't exactly what it is caught up to be? I am very adament about my cell phones, mainly because, it's my life line to some extent. I can't imagine my life without my cell phone. And seeing this, I was quite excited about the Apple iPhone and all of the possibilities that it brought to the table. However, after researching this phone I have quickly decided that the Apple iPhone will never be my Sidekick.

If you have read my other articles, than I'm sure you have found my review of my T-Mobile Sidekick 3, if not click here to read the article. As you can see, I absolutely love my Sidekick 3, however, for about a week, I was seriously considering giving up on my beloved phone and switching to a new and supposedly, "more technologically advanced" cell phone. However, I am very glad that I refused to do so. So how do the two phones compare to each other, and why am I choosing the T-Mobile Sidekick 3 over the Apple iPhone. Well, to gain a better understanding of both phones, I have compiled a short list of their pros and cons.

With the Apple iPhone, you get some of the greatest features that have ever come out on a cell phone. However, most of these features are great in concept, but their actual functions are slightly overrated. First off, with the Apple iPhone, there is a new feature, "Visual Voicemail." Now, this particular feature really excited me, because how it works is that you no longer have to listen to all of your voicemails to get to the one that you would like to listen to. To be honest, I love this feature. However, my Sidekick has the option to skip through your voicemails with just as much ease, by simply clicking the "7" to delete the message or "9" to save it, you can jump to the next voicemail. Not as simple as just visually choosing your message, it still is better than past phones where you are forced to listen to a complete voicemail before moving on to the next one.
