if you like t-mobile, get the sidekick III that comes out in march or april. if you want something a little better for the same price, get the lg vx9800 from verizon. you can browse the web at high broadband speeds with the EV-DO 3G service ( V CAST ).v cast also allows you to watch sports clips, news clips, weather and entertainment. phone is like the sidekick in many ways.
1. full qwerty keyboard
2.aim and yahoo instant messenger
3. web browser but at broadband speed.

but the vx9800 has something the sidekick does not:
1. the ability to set wallpaper or screen savers
2. a megapixel camera with video
3.always a great signal.
4.a removable battery
5.longer standby battery life
6.BLUETOOTH !!!
6.MP3 player.

my final word: the sidekicks from t-mobile are going to keep coming.gsm hasnt yet developed their 3G abilities yet. select verizon phones offer the v-cast mulitmedia service with broadband speeds. both phones are popular and full of features
