Yeah i sold my sidekick last month for $200.

Switched to a Motorola V600. Returned it and than bought a Motorola E398.

Gonna tether it to a handheld w/ $5 Unlimited T-Zones, it's so worth it.

Eddie.

The new Sidekick has nothing new except a camera and new design, and the new one weighs more than they old one, and if anyone knows how the sidekick 1 was, numerous people went thru at least 2-3 replacements, so I hope Danger fixed that problem

I've had mine since February 2003, and honestly it hasn't really given me any problems, though the wheel recently died.

Are you comparing the Blackberry 7100T with the Sidekick II?

Because they are both $299 on new Activation, Sidekick has a $50 Rebate if you go thru T-Mobile.com and Blackberry has a $100 Rebate

how big is the sidekickII in terms of size(edit: as opposed to weight)? i find that phones that are too big to fit easily into the pocket are useless as anything.

for example, i think pda's are too big to keep in your pocket, and that pretty much defeates the purpose
