Sidekick 3 Reviews

Sidekick fans don't have much longer to wait, since T-Mobile has officially announced the new Sidekick 3.  T-Mobile subscribers will be able to purchase the Sidekick 3 on the web or in two select stores starting June 28, while the general public have to wait 'till July 10. The Side kick 3 is expected to cost $300 with a 2 year contract, or $350 with a 1 year contract, and $400 for prepaid subscribers.  Sidekick 2 owners will be happy to know that the new Sidekick 3 is about 20% smaller, and slimmer, therefore it fits easily in your pocket. The new sleek look, spacious keyboard, and trackball appear to be a big plus on the new device though the 240x160 pixels screen may be a bit "washed out."

CNET editors' video review

Gizmodo goes hands-on with the SK3, with a bunch of photos, and say "The basic info: removable battery, miniSD slot, Bluetooth, USB syncing, 1.3-megapixel camera, and a beautiful display. Expect to pay about $200 with contract. What doesn’t it have? A video recorder (yet), GPS, DRM music player (yet), Wi-Fi, FM tuner, and video playback (yet)."

PhoneScoop gets into detail as they review the ins and outs of the Sidekick 3.
