Review: Sidekick 3

Form Basics Extras Video Wrap Up Comments 100+

With the new features in the Sidekick 3, the platform has finally caught up to other affordable smartphones in terms of technology. However it is only catching up as the other platforms are likely to leap ahead again soon. In addition, other operating systems are catching up when it comes to ease of use.

For subscribers who are addicted to email but don't use Exchange, the Sidekick 3 is a good option. For users who prefer IM to email, it's the best option. But the Sidekick is no longer the only option for people seeking a data-centric phone that doesn't make them look like a geek.
