I understand making it more available to the masses, but it is more appealing when everyone can't afford it. I really hate that they watered down the sidekick brand so much.

Those in the picture above look a bit girly. To bad about the web browsing, if i'm going to invest in a smartphone i want to make sure it will give decent internet usage. Which color did you get?

It's smaller than many of the blackberries, but has a full keyboard, and it's much lighter than the Treo. It is great at email, but also at SMS/texting. The phone settings are great as well, and it looks slick. The big thing it's "missing" is a camera, but I actually didn't use mine much in the first place since I have three other cameras. The todo list application is also a little lacking in terms of sorting by categories, but I am going to see if there isn't a work around for that. I'm glad you didn't get the iPhone though- it's a seriously closed platform. If there's anything BB or Palm are missing- you can buy it or write it yourself...

I got the SK for a decent discount (along with a 2-year commitment to T-mobile), so it worked out. Also, the BB seemed to be more email-centered than phone/text, but that might just be my own neurosis. Cheers! @Aaron -

I'm curious, did you look at a Blackberry as well, and if so, what tilted you towards the Sidekick? Glad you’re enjoying it.
