dude, the new sidekick 3 is amazing. my friend's dad created them and now they're even more light-weight and it's a lot more sleek.

it all depends on t-mobile. t-mobile has some of the worst service in the country, unless you're in one of their main areas. check how good they are in your area.

i think sidekicks are really good because of all the options, but since i have verizon i can't use one. but the new thing verizon offers looks like it is even better than a sidekick.

I have never had a problem with verizon, and all my friends with t mobile have had problems. I don't know if the sidekick has a camera or not, not that its important but for basically the same price why not.

my friend has a sidekick and it's so awesome. i steal it and use his aim and pretend i'm him sometimes ahhaha.

i dunno, i wouldn t really have any use for it but since he is always moving around and sometimes on tour and stuff it's just easier for him to keep in contact with people with a sidekick.

Sidekicks are pretty cool, but when picking a sidekick pick on that is weak ad will never overpower you. There is nothing more embarassing than becomeing your sidekick's sidekick. Also, they are like your personal bitch (look at Robin), if Batman wanted Robin to blow him, i bet Robin would on that shit and caressing the Batballs.

Service is whack, except when I'm in Chicago or in a populated area
It sounds like your voice is echoing when you're talking on it
Its HUGE

I sell cell phones (I work at Best Buy so I deal with several major companies) & from my experience, Verizon has the best service, hands down. However, I love my Sidekick because I do text. A lot. I never use computers anymore because this covers all my needs.

I say, if you text a lot & talk a little, get a Sidekick. If I were you though, I'd wait for the Sidekick 3.

When do the 3's come out...I want one.

haha, when i saw your post title, i thought of that old movie Sidekicks where the asthmatic kid hates his life and fantasizes all day about learning karate and being Chuck Norris' sidekick in their quests to fight crime...best movie ever...

Anyone know if these are out in the UK?

Also, do you have to pay to use the Internet on it? I occasionally use MSN Messenger on my mobile phone, but it costs money, so I tend not to use it much
