Did you leave your T-mobile sidekick someplace?  IS your sidekick lost in your house?  No phone to use to call and find it?  Then wheresmycellphone.com is what you need. This is a totally free service that will call your Sidekick for you!  All you need to do is follow the ringing and find, and answer the phone and hang back up.  Whereismycellphone states that they don’t retain any records.

I tried it out and it works really fast.  It took about 5 seconds for my phone to ring after hitting the find button!

Want a free Sidekick Slide? How about a Sidekick LX for 50 dollars. A 1 year contract instead of a two year contract?

This is a deal that has been around for awhile. People are selling it on Ebay for 20 dollars or more. I will give it to you for free.

Just call 1-866-464-8662 (Press option 3)

Try telling them your mom mentioned an “Avon family and friends discount”

Update: 04/09/08

New post is up here Another Way to get Sidekick LX for 50 dollars Requires 2 year contract.

Update: 4/08/08

From the last few comments, the code below is no longer working. The best bet is to be a family member of an Avon rep who has heard about the deal.

Give them Code 5871TMLAD

UPDATE 4/5/08

This is a comment from Debbie: I was lucky enough to speak to a rep that actually gave me the code its 5871TMLAD i think its only for the lx u still need to say u work for avon be really friendly and hopefully it will work.

You have to get new service to get this discount or you can add a line to an existing service for 9.99. The Sidekick Slide is free after a 50 dollar rebate and the Sidekick LX is a heavily discounted 50 dollars after mail in rebate.

My favorite part is the one year contract. I really hate 2 year contracts of any sort!

This is a great chance to get cheap t-mobile sidekick phones.

I leave it up to you the moral implications of saying you are affiliated with AVON but surely someone you know sells it! =)

Oh and also ask about the free 50 dollars in accessory credit too! You may be able to get a good blue tooth headset or another sidekick memory card.

Have fun and let me know how it works out!

This is supposed to work for other T-mobile phones as well so good luck!

If you get one, check out our Sidekick skins shop at http://shop.sidekickskin.net.

That’s right! The T-Mobile Sidekick 3 is back on sale on the T-mobile website! It is priced at 99.99. This makes it perfect for people who felt limited y the Sidekick ID but didn’t want to pay 199.99 for the Sidekick Slide or 299.99 for the Sidekick LX. The Sidekick 3 lets you stay connected with Talk, text, IM, or e-mail. But unlike the Sidekick ID, it has a built-in MP3 player and a 1.3 megapixel camera. It also can be hooked up to your computer so you can upload music, pictures or new themes.

You can buy one from T-Mobile right now.

The first two of many Sidekick Repair guides are up at www.repairmysidekick.org.

The first is for replacement of the Sidekick 3 LCD flip screen.  I am also working on one for just the LCD itself. Lets’s just say it is a lot easier to just replace the whole flip screen!

The second guide is for Sidekick 3 LCD Cover Screen Replacement This is for if your Sidekick 3 screen is scratched up or cracked but your LCD is still good.

The next batch of guides I am working on include Sidekick 3 keypad replacement, Sidekick II swivel screen replacement, and how to correct a overspun LCD screen
