[New phone acquired! - Sidekick I.D.]

As Mika left to Japan, I thought about finding a simple device that would allow me to keep in contact with her easily through email. In Japan, the email system is used among mobile devices, not text messaging. I didn’t want to have to go with another PPC (PocketPC) and have to troubleshoot it at times so I went with Sharp’s Sidekick. It’s a very good device and I recommend it to many. Many of my friends have the Sidekick 3 and now the LX but I have no reason to go with such a device since I only use it for text messaging and email. An extra mp3 player and camera isn’t needed. I have removed the thought of upgrading from my mind. It’s very stable and it looks very clean and sleek. I can comment on the data service and say it’s been connected 24/7 since I have gotten the phone about a week ago. I cannot commend on the phone service since I don’t use it as a phone. And mainly, it saves me money since it is 30$ a month and I was paying 15$ on my PPC phone for text messaging and 40$ for the data plan which only included internet usage. In my eyes, the Sidekick I.D. is a bargain, pricing at 99.99$ with a 50$ mail-in rebate. Can’t get much better than that!
