T-Mobile Sidekick 2 Review
Thanks to MobileBurn



Michael Oryl, the editor over at MobileBurn has posted a great review of T-Moblie's Sidekick II. This is one of the hottest devices out at the time because of the media hype with celeberties like Paris Hilton and that crowd all using it (for free of course).

I am a loyal user of the Sidekick II for now, but the service has really gone down the drain. The last week has been especially bad, Danger (the maker of the Sidekick and the data provided) has system wide problems for 3 days and provided almost no feedback or customer care to people who were depending on the device for their data needs. Feels great to pay $20 a month for something that works maybe 50%-70% as advertised. Just remeber that although the TV shows it as a great device, and it really is, that the service leaves much to be desired.

But anyways back to the main point at hand. Mobile Burn concludes that:

"If you can get past its size and weight, and the marginal camera, the T-Mobile Sidekick 2 is a fantastic device. It makes great use of its connectivity and keeps you constantly in the loop. The user interface is top notch, and the vast array of available applications is sure to keep you both entertained and working efficiently.

I'd really like to see a memory card slot and a MP3 player in addition to Bluetooth headset support in a device this large, but I guess we'll have to keep our fingers crossed until the next generation of Sidekicks comes out.

I give it a "Highly Recommended" rating."

I can't agree more ... Read Full Review at [MobileBurn Sidekick II Review]
