i had a sidekick 2 for about a year before the keybord went to ----. the phone felt like a brick in my pocket. and the keys whould easily be unlocked in my pocket. the novelty of the phone wore off fast. the software that they sell for the sidekick is downright crap for whatever little they have. blackberry is the way to go. right now i have a razr v3 and love it. it allows me to actually download my own ringtones without paying for them, and doesnt feel like a brick in my pocket.

Can you actually get on the internet with it?

yes you can. i have the same phone. wish it was the v3i version though so i could put me in a 1 gig microsd chip. but overall its a good phone when it decides not to shut off on its own. i use bluetooth wireless headset with mine and its great. no more putting down the phone to shift gears or make turns(though its fun most the time). cingular ftw!!

yes you can get onto the internet with the sidekick but its as slow as *****. when i used mine it was about as fast as 56k on a bad day. i alot of the newer phones use the edge network wich is about as fast as 100k.
the smartphone that i whould get is the blackberry 8100. o couple of guys on the job has one and i was impressed with the features and functionality. not much bigger than my razr either. that center button is actually a little trackball mouse.

---- the sidekick. I got one of those PPC-6700's. I got Terminal services, Wi-Fi, bluetooth, Infared beeming, full keyboard, 1.3 MP camera, 2 gigs of San Disk memory and it Runs windows CE 5.0 ....so It has already corupted itself once in the 9 months I've had it.

It also has full office and the tablet feature so I can writet onth e screen and it translates it to text.

It's kind cool to be able to Wardrive on your phone, Pull up a registry or play a Snes Emulator on your phone!

I'm tinkering with a program that you can load remote control keystroke in. In other words you can point you remote to it hit a few buttons and it will remember the fraq. so you can then use your phone in place of the remote.

Totaly worthless but effective for gathering "look at me" attention.

Still working on Drive mirroring and Network drives. It has Media player 10 on it so I'm going to be networking my music drive here shortly. 130 gigs of music on tap will be nice.

I want a blackberry, but damn they are expensive. Even after rebates they're at least $300.
