The SideKick itself is a nice idea (especially for younger people), nonetheless, I don't really see why they bother creating a lower end model.
The SK3 is fine already (you can always buy one from eBay or Amazon, cheapish.) and in my opinion the unlimited IM/TXT/Internet package is too expensive, simply because of the fact that you also have to purchase a seperate Voice package. *Whew*
If you can afford the $20 monthly data package for the SKiD and the 20-30 dollar phone bill, I fail to see why they couldn't afford a SK3.

*cough* I still prefer my LG CU500 *cough*

The Sync just didn't appeal to me, nor perform as well as LG CU500 in my area.

Plus, everytime I hear it's name it reminds me of N-Sync, which bothers me just a little.

It's amazing to see what type of comments people make after they've read an article about orangutans.

You all must have a list of orangutan conversation pieces (and cheesy jokes) written on a paper, just for situations just like this.

Keep it up every! ;-)

I actually like the design of some of these lower end models.
I really like the E840. Very clean and simple. Although, I am a bit confused where the call and end buttons are.
Nonetheless, for being an entry level phone, it looks very nice. :-/

Hopefully you're attempting to be funny.

The cubit is equal to the distance from the elbow to the tip of the middle finger, approximately 43-56 cm or 17-22 in.

Now a qubit is a subatomic particle that performs computation. More elaborately, an elementary particle such as an electron or photon that can store data and perform computational tasks within a quantum computer's processor and memory.

*cough* Address Book *cough*

Windows XP uses Address Book for storing contacts. You don't have to use Outlook.

I highly doubt it's really 90 percent smaller.
I'm looking at my laptop keyboard right now, and imagining it 90 percent smaller. It doesn't work.
It wouldn't even be possible to type on a keyboard 90 percent smaller than a normal keyboard (on a laptop).

Hopefully (probably) they were over exagerating.

Yeah, I take into account that certain people will receive discounts.
For example, I can get that 19.99 charge down to about 10 bucks a month, because I am a "privileged" (that sounds dorky) member.

Most service providers give discounts to their pre-existing, consistant("loyal") members.

They charge 19.99 (I assume dollars, the site webmaster is too lazy to specify) a month for unlimited data transfer with their "Smartphone Connect" plan. I fail to see how that is expensive.
Also, why buy a smartphone if you aren't gonna use some of the most prominent features?
