Whatever. I was very discouraged by anything T-Mobile when I had to babysit the salesperson on every step of the transaction of getting a new sidekick. It took over an hour of him asking BS questions, inputting the answers into the laptop/Point of Sale machine, getting one out of the back, logging it in only to discover that if I didn't have $250 of available credit on my debit card, I was going to have to pay not only full price for the phone ($49 out the door versus $250) but pay a higher monthly fee for the same service AND pay everything up front. What absolute crap to not let you know up front that they are really planning to rape a credit card at some point and don't want you to have any control over it. Sidekick? Kick'em to the curb as they need a curb job in the worst way.

You were probably working with a T-mobile authorized retailer and not a direct sales rep. Also you get better deals searching the web and you may have avoided paying much up-front if you would have done some more research. Most US carriers live by the same rules now days.

Oh yeah The SideKick is a PDA for idiots!
