I also hope the keypad backing doesn't wear out and warp itself.

I don't think it is a smart idea to have to remove the back of the unit. That leads to damaged covers.
I think they shoulda included a LITHIUM POLYMER battery. ]]>Jun 20th 2006 12:28AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/Jun 20th 2006 12:33AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/Jun 20th 2006 12:33AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/Jun 20th 2006 12:35AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/Jun 20th 2006 12:42AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/Jun 20th 2006 12:51AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/Jun 20th 2006 12:57AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/

Any information on the music player? I'm interested to know which file formats are supported.

And to those still wondering what the appeal is of the Sidekick, it's an affordable smartphone, with unlimited data for $20 a month and push email. It has a nice web browser, good keyboard, great multi-tasking, and a simple, elegant interface. It doesn't have every feature known to man (no phone does) but it does what it does well, and provides excellent access to the web, email and instant messaging.]]>Jun 20th 2006 9:14AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/Jun 20th 2006 9:37AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/Jun 20th 2006 10:02AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/Jun 20th 2006 10:23AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/Jun 20th 2006 10:25AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/Jun 20th 2006 11:27AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/Jun 20th 2006 11:32AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/Jun 20th 2006 11:45AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/Jun 20th 2006 11:47AMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/Jun 20th 2006 12:20PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/Jun 20th 2006 12:22PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/Jun 20th 2006 2:29PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/
No, the UI isn't as nice. Yes, it crashes.

But:

I can sync easily to my home & work computers.
The battery life is much better.
The reception is much better.
I can add tons of new programs without invalidating my warranty. (Whatever happened to harnessing all the programs SK devs were writing and letting us users download them?)
The web browser's more sophisticated.
Finally: It's much smaller.

The T-Mobile support sucks, but it did for the SK, too. ]]>Jun 20th 2006 3:09PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/Jun 20th 2006 3:15PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/Jun 20th 2006 3:32PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/

There is full featured MMS. Alarms can be set in the Calendar app. There is no sync with bluetooth (sidekicks sync automatically with the web anyway). No wireless modem (I agree, totally weak). It doesn't say anything about stereo bt, so I'm guessing it doesn't do it. It supports AIM, Yahoo and MSN IM. The music player only supports MP3 format, but it does support album art. The web browser supports Javascript, but not Java.]]>Jun 20th 2006 3:48PMhttp://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/http://www.engadgetmobile.com/2006/06/20/t-mobile-sidekick-3-hands-on/Jun 20th 2006 4:28PM
