I have a sidekick as a 2-way, and verizon for a phone. The sidekick is cool if you text and email alot, or ur a college student, becuase it keeps me occupied. i would not want to depend on it for a phone just because tmobile does not get the coverage that verizon does.

But is it damn cool and works fairly well. but if your a tmobile user the signal will be different because its data signal not phone signal.

Great technology but a pity it has to all be crammed into a 1.5" x 1" mobile phone screen. Unfortunately these sorts of toys become less than appealing due to this limitation. Same goes for PDAs. They're a pain for net surfing for all but the most essential and minor tasks.

I remember when they used to be really good too I had their service for almost 5 years before I just couldn't take it anymore. I've been happy ever since I went to Verizon a year and a half ago

I got a B&W sidekick, it's cool for messaging and brief websurfing. Overall, kind of bulky, but worth the $50 I paid, now waiting for the new mpx phone to come out
