Why always hype on the sidekick?? It's huge and you can do so much more with a PDA such as a Treo or HTC manufactured device... 🙄

It's far simpler than a PDA - some people don't want to have a mini computer, they just want the web & a way to communicate with people (chat & text).

For those of you that need more than that there's always PDA phones, and data packages.

Ive had both an mda and a sidekick and the slide is
a: slower than teh flip in general not to mention less cool
and
b: the transition onscreen from landscape to protrait when compared to the sidekick is terribly slow
