hey!
thanks for helping us cell-phone losers out. icon_razz.gif

but anyways,
being a cingular customer, i just purchased an unlocked sidekick...i've read about a lot of the usage problems and i was wondering...
will we be able to use the webbrowser or ANY of the other functions beside SMS and calls? ANYTHING?

is there anyway to get these usable?

thanks so much,
--jad

even tho the device is an unlocked phone t-mobile tends to lock out the internet settings where they can only be used on the t-mobile network. THere is a chance to get it to work on the cingular network i have not work with this phone before not sure where to tell you to look at the wap settings on the device.
