4. Samsung Sidekick 4g
4.1. Pros:
4.1.1. 1.Fun to use, like previous SK's but Android is a better OS choice I must admit.
4.1.2. 2.Nice assortment of applications available- I am going from a MotoQ running WinMo 6.1 to Froyo so am probably easy ti impress.
4.1.3. 3.Phone sound and signal quality are great and it synced with Ford Sync system perfectly and all features work except the Sync texting but most phones don't support that anyways
4.1.4. 4.Everything else seems to work as it should so i am giving a 4 star rating based on the total package and hoping that the speed issue mentioned below as a Can's is related to today's conditions or my current location.ode
4.2. Cons:
4.2.1. 1.Internet speed was pretty slow and inconsistent. Running Ookla's speed test on 4G I got a range of .39 to .9 upload and about .56 download speeds. Ping was high at over 500 ms consistently. This test was run while the phone was indicating a 4G connection on T-Mobile's system
4.2.2. 2.As I said, some things, like the PoP setup are not easy to find and necessitated a call to customer service to locate.
4.2.3. 3.Keyboard lights seem to go dim in about 2 seconds- probably another buried setting that i need to find.
