Dont be so quick on the T-Mobile thing. Why would they bother? who requested a stripped down phone thats allready limited?
They certainly didnt get this idea from LISTENING to the people over at hiptop.com who mostly bitch about it not being able to play video or record ringtones.
Dont be suprised if this is for the new AT&T or another carrier.

Zodiac, I am more inclined to agree with you. I have a feeling that this is going to be on the New AT&T or even a regional carrier like Suncom. If it were CDMA I'd even venture as to say Alltel. Danger is trying to get T-mobile's goat a little here by seeing if they can offer an SK2.5 to a smaller carrier & see how it sells. Makes you wonder WHAT ELSE they have planned hmmm?

Oh what an interesting subject!

I agree you guys, the sidekick 3 was such a primitive phone for its price when it was released and to release an even more limited phone is just insane. No wonder Danger isn't doing that well with its large amount of sk users. You would think a small company would be more inclined to listening to its own fan base to see how to grow their business then to go on the route of motorola and release what ever crap their departments think up of.
Infact maybe if they do like motorola we can see atleast one or two phones that are atleast worth buying. :(

This Could be the "Sidekick Mini" T-mo had planed to release this year. Think sk2 with edge, but really thin & small.
If t-mo has there way they will be 2 new sidekicks coming out this year the sk mini and the new sidekick III. The new sidekick III will be compatable with @home service and MyFavs.

I happen to know that there is a stripped down SK....kinda light on the features, and some of the SKII customization stuff (bumpers, etc...). It's basically a SKII with a different body style, and no cam. For the kiddie market, and cheap market.
As for the SK Mini....I've heard it's coming, just don't know when....
ZODIAC @ Jan 20th 2007 7:01PM
K-Mobile - if t-mo is responsible for keeping th sk down, obviously offering it to another carrier is a good idea. I have not heard anything about the "sk mini
" so I cant comment on that. I also havent hear anything on more sidekicks this year - ESPECIALLY for tmo.
Its about time Danger branched out into other carriers. Tmo's explusivity needs to end at some point.

ZODIAC....I happen to know...because I work at T-Mo...I've seen every version of the SK so far, including the "new" downsized one....and have seen the Mini....
