Seriously, who cares about this cheesy device and the crappy T-Mobile service. This device is HUGE, ugly and when people use it as a phone they look so foolish holding this huge thing to their ear.

Agreed. It's for the kids. T-Mo is the budget carrier with my holes than swiss cheese. They're just hoping the kids will be begging their mommies and daddies to get them the new sidekick

Are why I don't often go past the first page of the forums. Can't discuss the pro's & con's, have to get into schoolyard crap that I was too mature for in the second grade... 🙄

I've worked with the sidekicks since the first one. They are incredibly functional devices for those users who will take the time to use the features. A smaller device would be much less functional, more difficult to use, & not fit the niche the sidekicks do.

I have been fortunate, with my experience with the sidekicks, to have worked with many members of the deaf & hard of hearing community. This is an awesomely functional device for those who use text, IM, & internet functionality.

Actually, they've gotten smaller and thinner since the release of the first Sidekick, which wasn't all that big to begin with...so what're you talking about exactly?

Well... If you take a look at the MDA. I mean that's a much better size for a qwerty keyboard type of a phone. I think they could've slimmed it down to MDA size and more people would've probably responded better to the SK3 release.

Aside of that. I always thought of the Sidekick as a smart phone for communcation freaks. I mean not everyone needs windows mobile and stylus. It's nice for those who just want to txt n talk, who don't need all that other data on the go.

Well thought out. The MDA is definitely suited for the common hand, whereas the Sidekick can be awkward to handle...but, damn, is it ever popular.

I own an MDA and a sidekick II. I hated thr MDA it feels really bad in hand to type with, you feel like its going to slip and fall. And everyone of my freinds how have owned either agree that the sidekick is mush easier.

I had an MDA and had very valuble information and it was stolen. All the pictures, contacts, and all other valuble information was gone. To make sure that if i ever had my phone stolen, lost, and broken i could be able to get to the information or data right away. The key board is nice. The color of the SDK3 is nice and has a nice feeling in the hand unlike the MDA. I need all my information 24/7 because I am a very busy businessman.

🙄 its called backing up your device, i find it hard to believe you since your on almost every topic doing damage control for the sidekick.Ive had all the sidekicks and i am not to crazy about this one at all they seem to be playing catch up with everyone else.

I went from a SKII to a MDA/6700. The 6700 (Verizon version of the MDA) enabled me to go from two devices (I had to have a phone for bluetooth reasons, so previously I had a bluetooth phone and a SKII) to one. However, I truly, truly hate the 6700. The stylus keeps disappearing, it's a pain in the neck to use, the e-mail and keyboard are very cumbersome (compared to the SKII) and the battery life is *horrible*. I change batteries 2-3 times a day. So, as you might expect, I can't WAIT for the SKIII with bluetooth so I can dump my 6700.
Just my 0.02.
