I have a Sidekick III.
I really like the scroll wheel.
I like Boris, a tamogatchi like spider in the phone.
The music plays well, but the speakers aren't loud enough.
It takes pretty clear photos, kind of slow shutter though.
The phone is slow, it takes awhile to process the simplest things, like scrolling through the main menu might induce some lagging.]]>May 25th 2006 6:43PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/25/sidekick-iii-gives-us-a-peep-show/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/25/sidekick-iii-gives-us-a-peep-show/May 25th 2006 6:50PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/25/sidekick-iii-gives-us-a-peep-show/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/25/sidekick-iii-gives-us-a-peep-show/
from what i can tell, the upgrade everyone is psyched about is bluetooth and expandable memory - this has been standard in smartphones for years... how about WiFi? yes? no? if N93 has wifi, why shouldn't this phone? it'd be perfect for web browsing!

oh, right, they wouldn't be able to charge you for data... it IS a carrier-branded phone

btw this was meant to be an innocent non-flaming question, but i guess i got a little frustrated. sorry if it sounds to abrasive, sidekick fans. truth be told I am a t-mob subscriber and i love it]]>May 25th 2006 8:46PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/25/sidekick-iii-gives-us-a-peep-show/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/25/sidekick-iii-gives-us-a-peep-show/May 26th 2006 4:36AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/25/sidekick-iii-gives-us-a-peep-show/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/25/sidekick-iii-gives-us-a-peep-show/
And as far as sonyphones go, most of their KBs, beaused their palm devices as sucked for typing.... and I dont mean TEXTING.. I mean really typing. QWERTY style.

not a flame, just an answer.

Most phones now do the basics, but not very well in my opinion. THe Symbian OS is the only other I would consider using besides Dangers OS. ITs simple and quick. Though, the egronomics of Symbian phones have not been something appealing to me - except for the recent E70, which I do want to try out :)

The Sidekick is an equally tempered egronomic communicator. In my opinion - above the so called smartphones. A communicator should allow the ease of input at all levels.. as well as connectivity. And this isnt just a reference to technology, but OS and application integration. I dont think there is another OS as well integrated as the Danger OS, and version 3 promises much more of this. But, we will see soon enough.]]>May 26th 2006 8:06AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/25/sidekick-iii-gives-us-a-peep-show/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/25/sidekick-iii-gives-us-a-peep-show/]]>May 26th 2006 9:00AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/25/sidekick-iii-gives-us-a-peep-show/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/25/sidekick-iii-gives-us-a-peep-show/
Maybe they bundled the 2 speakers in one in the earpiece.

That menu is also looking pretty childish.]]>May 26th 2006 2:58PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/25/sidekick-iii-gives-us-a-peep-show/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/25/sidekick-iii-gives-us-a-peep-show/May 26th 2006 7:15PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/25/sidekick-iii-gives-us-a-peep-show/http://mobile.engadget.com/2006/05/25/sidekick-iii-gives-us-a-peep-show/
