In this video, I share my first impressions after using the Sidephone for two days. I walk through the unboxing, notable features, and the unique hot-swappable keyboards. I highlight what works well—like the SureType keyboard experience—and what needs improvement, such as the current T9 functionality. This is just an initial review, so stay tuned for more updates as I keep testing the device!
