New FCC Documents Unveil Sidekick 3 Features
Encouraging
I feel a little iffy about the hard plastic keys. I loved the rubbery ones.
Better news for me is EDGE support. I can't wait for somebody with one of these in their hands to compare web browsing speed.
I wonder what class of EDGE? That will make a difference as it competes with the EVDO smartphones.

I dont think EDGE comes close to EVDO speeds...
Your right, even at class 10, edge maxes out at 150k versus evdo's 400-600k. Its still an inprovement over GRPS though which is slower than dial-up at 40k. P.S. all speeds are measured in KiloBITS no bytes. Most internet connections are measured that way. One day T-mobile will hopefully acquire some 3g spectrum and be able to use UMTS with HSDPA and maybe even HSUPA by the time they get a network up and running.....But then you will have to wait for sidekick 4 to support UMTS

Because of Danger's on-the-fly file-shrinking technology, in the real world, the GPRS-only Sidekick II browses the web faster than many EDGE phones.
I've done the side-by-side tests to prove it.

Therefore, the EDGE Sidekick 3 should be proportionally faster.
They make it invisible and you don't have to "do" anything.
