figure for just conventions.. everyone sittin at the lobbys and bars, never wifi connection anywhere.. break out the bb and everyone can jam up on there own lappys

Juicy D. Links · 07-06-2006, 05:45 AM

Juicy D. Links · 07-06-2006, 05:47 AM

that settles that.

Doctor Dre · 07-06-2006, 07:17 AM

Blackberries are more wildspread. Personally I like the sidekick better.

ezrydn · 07-06-2006, 07:19 AM

Palm Treo 650. The only way to go. And apps galore all over the net, most are either free or a free trial to see if you like it. Change SIMS when you change borders. Use a calling card. You name it.

Chris · 07-06-2006, 07:20 AM

i have a sidekick2
it is more "fun" than anything
i am getting a crackberry

BoyAlley · 07-06-2006, 07:20 AM

blackberry without a doubt.

DutchTeenCash · 07-06-2006, 07:21 AM

I checked the youtube vids on the SK3

Pure coincedence : I came across a google link for the HTC, company who makes and delivers the MDAs to TMobile. Fuckers are gonna discontinue ANY support, since theyre sick n tired of cobranded products.

In other words NO MDA for me as long as its not clear whats up with that.

Oh and the SK3 keys are crap, read it many times, its not here yet but ill check it out for sure.

OldSchoolJim · 07-06-2006, 08:46 AM

I had the sidekick2 forever...never thought i would change...but i just got the new tmobile MDA...and it rocks....wifi and regular...regular wireless is about dsl speed....the only thing i do not like about it is you do not get the email addy you get with the sidecick...but you can even subscribe to television broadcasts from about 12 channels...streaming live....

Pornwolf · 07-06-2006, 09:02 AM

Treo.

But if not that the get the MDA.

KrisKross · 07-06-2006, 06:49 PM

Is the SK3 anywhere near release?

The MDA is sexy. I want one of those.

Juicy, this is interesting. what sort of upload/download speeds are you seeing?

CamsLord · 07-06-2006, 07:36 PM

Treo 700

Sosa · 07-06-2006, 07:37 PM

I want the new Treo but fucking Alltel doesn't offer it in this area. I really don't want to pay for a older model but I just might have to do it.

Cingular uses GPRS/EDGE. Theoretical maxium downstream speed is 56 kbps for GPRS and 384 kbps for EDGE. But EDGE coverage is limited.

I have a blackberry 7200 series. Looking to jump ship over to Cingular and picking up a 8700. Boy has one and it is smoooooooooooooth.

I can't see myself using a sidekick. too gimicky.

rants · 07-20-2006, 05:15 PM

Does anyone have the Sidekick3 yet? How do you like it? I am one of those people that can't make up my mind and it takes me forever to decide on something.

Isn't the internet speed on Sidekick slower because it's EDGE and EVDO on Sprint pcs is supposed to be faster??

The screenshots look nice for the new Sidekick

Whats better, Sidekick, Crackberry or mda?

I am mainly into browsing, I need fast internet browsing on my phone so I can surf and check stats.

audit01 · 07-20-2006, 06:21 PM

Palm 700p will destroy everything mentioned with EDVO. Add Chatter as your e-mail client if your mail host provides IMAP with IDLE support and you have the same push e-mail as a blackberry but with a assload more free apps for it.

It's in my will that my Treo's are put in the ground with me when I die and my living will states that whatever current treo is to me with me no matter what state of health I'm in.

divinity · 07-20-2006, 07:37 PM

I've got a Sidekick 3, I like it. Would love if it could be used as a modem, but I get by without it as I can get email, web, and ssh on the device. that covers most of my needs

more info on the sidekick 3 on this site
