Answer 2

Yes.  There are so many phones that are so much cheaper.

Answer 3

Just depends on how new the phone is and what kind of features it has. But that sounds like the normal price range for newer high tech phones. If you think thats too steep, then you can look into other phones and consider if you really need all the extra features or how often you will use them. My husband and I paid over $400 for both of our phones and found we don't even use some of the features.

And seeing as phones become obselete so quickly anymore you really don't want to spend that much for a phone that may become useless in a few years.

Answer 4

Check out this site. They have great deals, a lot better than going straight to the company. My friend just got the Palm Centro for free!  

Answer 5

It seems like you need to talk to your mom about it.

Keep in mind that the sidekick is not expensive, it's the sidekick plan that comes along with it.

Your mom is the one who can tell you if she can pay it or not. With the economy going the way it is, i find no reason to buy a phone that goes in and out of style so quickly, and trust me, those phones don't live up to their expectations, and danger/sharp is like Apple: if you need a warranty exchange, they will be ANAL, and any little thing they find that can void warranty, they will use against you.
