T-Mobile Sidekick r0x0z
I had a case of gadget lust and decided that I need a new toy. After looking at the SE p800 or SE t610 I found the sidekick. I went out yesterday knowing that I was going to take T-Mobile up on their 14 day money back program and try the sidekick. It is about the size of a bar of soap with a large color screen and very usable keyboard. Infact this is the best keyboard I have used on any non-laptop device. I love being able to use AIM, check my email, and surf the web. The only issue is that there is no syncing with Mac or PC software, but the web site is not so bad. But the proof is in the pudding... I am posting this from the sidekick right now. :-)

Do some Googling on this--t_moble 0wnz you, and can erase apps off the sidekick at will--in fact, they have already done so. Too locked in a format for me--I own my gadgets, not vice versa.

are you serious! i wouldn't go near one then. not that i have anything to hide of course...
It's not like Apple has ever taken features out of software after it has been released, iTunes 4.0.1, I'm looking at you.
If you trust T-mobile, you have nothing to fear.
*laughter in background*
p.s. mrmister, when am I going to see you at Starbucks again?
I'd say that falls under "trust" as well.

So to replace it I went with the Sony Ericsson T616, the American Cousin to the T610. And so far it is surpassing all of my expectations.

edit: "replace" that must mean t-mobile? hows your call reception with them?
yuck, they defaced it with that fugly t-mobie logo i'll have to scratch it off.

I got it from Cingular. It is the T616, which has GSM 850 not 900. Also it has a newer firmware so a lot of the issues that people had with the T610 are gone. So far I have not gotten less than four bars anywhere, including at Penn Station. Well, I don't get service in the subway, but that is to be expected.

Hey don't be so mean
But Cingy.. eek. You know, they are just using roaming agreements with T-Mobile in NYC (possibly all NY).

So? I have had very bad experiences with T-Mobile customer service in the past and did not want to sign up with them again, but the sidekick was too tempting. However with the sidekick going back there was no reason to stay with them. If it's the same network then it should not matter who I signed up with.
that would be handy for me.
