But they are selling for $700 - $900 on Craigslist here in NYC the 3G 16GB which supposedly is fully unlocked & jailbroken and it seems everyone at the gym I goto (NYSC) has one -- although I would never risk bringing something like an Iphone onto the gym floor where it can easy 'walk' or break if a dumbell hits it.
Also, except for the touch screen which at times is a pain in *** to use on my tilt, I think it is very cool especially for videos & web browsing and also because it is essentially the Ipod touch, Ipod & a phone in one.
The sidekick is a joke and pretty 'ghetto'. I originally got a sidekick II back in 2005 before the first BB 7290 I owned, went thru 2 sidekicks until the store mgr allowed me to xchange to a Blackberry. The thing was so clunky, sound quality horrible, couldn't send an email on yahoo before you couldn't hit the 'compose' button to type an email. IMHO, I think that in terms of smartphones the BB Curve, Tilt, & Sony Ericsson Walkman W760I would be underrated not ghetto junk like the sidekick
