Fido up here in Canada. The other carrier is Suncom, but they have limited coverage only on the lower US east coast.Originally posted by MrC
The phone is actually called the Hiptop. T-Mobile decided to rename it for some reason.

I dont see what is so great about the SKII. I had one for a couple weeks before eventually selling it. the lack of a decent camera, bluetooth and the speed of browsing are just a few things i couldnt stand about it. the only thing that makes it better than a normal cell phone imo is the keyboard, aim and the display screen. actually talking on the thing is pretty hectic as well.Last edited by pstation; 04-16-2005, 05:14 PM.Comment

The camera on it is a lot better than most cell phone camera I've seen. It also has a flash, which is a plus. The browsing works fine on mine and it's even faster when image loading is turned off. It's about as fast as a 56K dial-up connection. It's not designed to replace your PC. I've used it to check stats, post on forums, read the news, get directions on Mapquest... very handy.Originally posted by pstation
The keyboard comes in great for emails and instant messaging. I use it all the time for affiliate/customer support.
I will agree that lack of Bluetooth support as well as lack of Javascript support are downsides to the phone. As for talking on it, it comes with a handy headset.

Yeah the only downfall is the camera, I see it has a flash but i dont know how to use it yet haha..
My Panasonic Gu87, now like a year old, is the most superior camera phone i have seen so far.Comment

you're not missing out on much with the "flash", it's just a simple LED that comes on, doesnt give nearly the light a real flash would give outOriginally posted by Pipecrew

the nokia 6630 doesn't have a flash, but the sidekick II has a LED light that might light up an area provided it's like 2' away.Originally posted by slapassComment

They've been bought out by Rogers.Originally posted by PipecrewICQ: 282814268Comment

Yes, I'm with Fido. You can get whatever voice plan you want (I pay $25/month for unlimited nights/weekends, 100 anytime minutes and unlimited incoming calls/sms/mms). Then I pay an extra $20/month for my data plan which gives me unlimited bandwith. Prices are Canadian, of course.Originally posted by sweet7
And Pipecrew, Microcell didn't go out of business. They were on the verge of bankruptcy for a little while though. Rogers bought them out in January and merged the two networks.
pstation, the main selling point of the Nokia 6630 is it's camera, so of course it's going to be a good camera. It's sold as an imaging phone, whereas the camera on the Hiptop 2/Sidekick II is an additional feature and takes pretty good pictures compared to a lot of camera phones available in the North American market (which the 6630 isn't, as far as I know). The 6630 is also more expensive than the HT2/SK2.

Side kick is the best phone out in my book.
It's got everything you could want in a phone.
Let me know when you get it and we can play battle ship against eachother.
