Sidekick iD Review
T-Mobile launches a stripped down Sidekick messaging phone dubbed Sidekick iD.
The Sidekick iD does not feature MP3 playback, a digital camera, Bluetooth, or an expansion card slot. With a 2 year contract the Sidekick iD sells for $99.
Laptop Mag already gave the new Sidekick a spin and published a review.
Quote from the review:
"
At $99, the Sidekick iD does seem worth it for cash-strapped heavy messengers. The features T-Mobile did manage to cram in work adequately, but the lack of multimedia perks and EDGE data will probably turn off a lot of prospective buyers.

Sidekick 3 Review
The review experts at Digital Trends reviewed the new T-Mobile Sidekick 3, which was released recently.
Quote:
"Both celebrities and consumers have indulged themselves in T-Mobile’s Sidekick. The personal communication device is perfect for keeping in touch with friends, as well as e-mail and web browsing.
Although the Sidekick II was immensely popular, it was lacking some much-needed features such as Bluetooth and EDGE.
With the introduction of T- Mobile’s Sidekick 3 in July, many of these problems and missing features will be addressed. The device offers plenty of features that are bound to keep users happy.

T-Mobile Sidekick II on Sale
T-Mobile is now offering the new T-Mobile Sidekick II on their site.
The T-Mobile Sidekick (aka Danger HipTop 2) is one of the view mobile phones that are born in the USA. The Sidekick is not available outside of the US yet. Although I think T-Mobile definitly should bring the Sidekick 2 to Europe and Asia. Now that Sharp is producing the devices, the product availability should not be a problem.
T-Mobile sells the Sidekick II for $249.99. I could not find the Sidekick II on any other store yet.

T-Mobile Sidekick II Review
Joel at Gizmodo reviews the new T-Mobile Sidekick II.
The review of the Sidekick II itself is raving, but the problems Joel has with T-Mobile are mind boggling.
Quote:
"So I'm heartbroken. I've just spent a week using the T-Mobile Sidekick II, and I think it's probably one of the best mobile devices I've ever used. And I can say, with total conviction, that I will never, ever purchase one and neither should you. In fact, after the experiences I've had today with T-Mobile, I'm not sure I can ever recommend one of their products again."
