Laptop Mag already gave the new Sidekick a spin and published a review.

Sidekick 3 Review

Topic:

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. "
