Just a note, as it states in the article, us current Sidekick2 users get NO discount other than how long you are willing to dedicate your life to being stuck with a Sidekick. I have had a Sidekick2 that I bought in Feb '05 and it's already showing signs of usage and buttons no longer working, but since it's outside the 1 year warranty, i can't get it replaced or fixed without paying everything out of pocket.
I was really disappointed in T-Mobile that they are not giving current Sidekick2 users any kind of discount other than the "sign away your cell phone life" kind of deal. $300 (with 2 year contract) is just way to expensive since I just shelled out just a little less last year when I bought them to keep in touch with my hearing impared spouse. Its also stupid since t-mobile has been still selling the sidekick2 on their site even as of today, so what are these people who don't keep in touch with the tech industry going to do when they find out there is a new sidekick that they missed? Looks like i'm going to be switching to a blackberry soon since they have some for much cheaper than the new SK3 with minimal extra features than the SK2.
Am I bitter about it? yea, just a little. T-Mobile needs to give us loyal "testers" more of a reward. (due to the sheer number of bugs in the SK2).
Maybe a couple of those units they are giving out to some celebrities should find their way back to some of us regular users.
