Each model of the sidekick has gotten consistently better. Since it's original B&W models they grew just as all of the other devices have: cut and paste woes, catalog (aka:app store), lockups, etc. Additionally the reception has expanded tremendously over the years. Perhaps the market you are in doesn't make you a good canidate?? In the DC area, my experience with all of the sidekick's have only gotten better with each model. I did have one issue with the SIM card but that was because the original B&W sidekick SIM i still had that was working, was too slim for the LX slot and needed to be replaced, no problems since. The new unit has an 854x480 resolution screen, better camera, gps, the only missing component on this one appears to be WiFi which would be better now that you can surfing with the larger screen. It's not perfect but it's a good unit. Price is approaching reasonable as well. And i don't think most of the others can compete with the available data plan for the sidekick customers either.
“The HD2 is a magnificent monster. It is a hulking, intimidating, massive slab of a gadget. If you think the device looks big in photos, it's nothing compared to how it seems up close.”
