Great for casual use
Been a BB user for quite a while off and on. Had an old school BB pager back in the day all the way up the recent 8900 and 8520 units so I can tell you the shift in RIMs ideology from business to casual is a welcomed addition. Bringing that reliable, first class e-mail and backend to the casual user wasn't a smooth transition (initial bugs on this unit and the Flip Pearl still isn't perfect) ...
Blackberry for everyday people
First up, if you are a power user you need to find a different BB. This is not the phone for you. For everyone else that wants a superior e-mail/messenger smartphone that just works, read on. So for starters this is the successor to the Curve 83XX series but it is no longer a middle of the road device but a more focused themed Blackberry in line with the rest of the collection.

Messaging on the Sidekick is still aweseome. IM, e-mail, the works. All good. ...

So I have had a ton of phones, most recently the Sidekick 2008 which I loved, but it was too small for me. So I went shopping and decided to drop the cash on an LX. The result is an ok phone with an amazing feature set in terms of messaging. Pros: -Great keyboard -streamlined and easy-to-use software for messaging -Huge 3 inch screen with obvious Sharp Aquos technology -Thin but still sorta big at the same time, yet pocketable (could be ...
Great Messenger, Good Phone
So I picked this up right before the prices of the sidekick plan went up to 35 a month and well, I am pleasantly surprised. I needed a phone with decent e-mail and text capabilities, but I already use a Blackberry for work so I wanted a little something different for "home" use. Of all the choices, the Sidekick seemed to be the best choice for me. The G1 and Wing were a little too much in terms ...
