A lot of people would like a Sidekick but a lot of those people at the same time may not like T-Mobile, and some people just want a phone similar to the Sidekick. So I have decided to put a list of similar phones available from deferent service providers. The list consist of phones I personally like.

Alltel:
Kyocera Strobe K612B

Cingular:
Cingular 8125 Pocket PC

Sprint:
IP-830W by Samsung

Verizon:
SCH-u740
LG enV
LG VX9400

Personally I think Verizon has the best selection of all and my favorite of all the phones listed is the LG enV, in fact I think both the LG phones listed are the best to bad they don’t offer them to more providers.

I am aware that I left out some blackberries etc but I honestly don’t like any with the exception of the Pearl.

Hope you find this list useful and for images of the phones click here.

Marisa a member of our Forums recently posted a rant about the in store customer service alltel provides.

Marisa has been an alltel customer since 1991 (way before the were called alltel), and in her rant she praises the company for giving her reliable service where no other provider can and for allowing her to keep the fantastic plan she has (3000 minutes Unlimited nights and weekends for $270, she has 5 lines), even though her contract has expired.

Her only complaint is their in store customer service. She says their sales reps are rude, and one time she arrived at the store 12 minutes before closing and they did not let her in, she says the girl yapped away on her phone and just ignored her.

I think I would be extremely upset if that happened to me.

Check our Marisa’s rant here, and feel free to post yours!

Alltel wireless introduces the Samsung Wafer, one of the thinnest mobile phones on the market.

The wafer weighs 2.7 ounces, features XM Satellite Radio and, Axcess TV and Mobile Guide. The phone also has a 1.3 Mega Pixel camera and Bluetooth. The phone has Video playback capabilities and a built in MP3 player. The Wafer is also the only phone from alltel with Bluetooth stereo capabilities (meaning you can stream audio to a Bluetooth computer and stereo).

Alltel is selling the wafer for 149.99, or 109.99 after a 40 dollar MIR with two year contract agreement.
