Cell Phone ...
May. 6th, 2003 01:43 pmI've had a Sprint cell phone forever, but I'm giving serious thought to changing. I've been looking at T-Mobile. Specifically, I've been looking at the T-Mobile Sidekick. And now they have one in color.

I don't hate my Sprint quite enough and I don't know enough about T-Mobile to quite commit emotionally much less financially.
I really want always available email that is a phone once in a while. On a plan that doesn't cost me a fortune. I use my current cellphone probably 30 minutes a month max for talking and 30 minutes a month for email/web and games. Without a keyboard email is really read only.
Of course, no one is selling the color sidekick yet, but there look to be some good deals on the black and white. I'll probably talk myself out of the whole thing anyway.

It retrieves webpages by putting them through a special gateway at the edge of the wireless net that slims webpages down before sending them to your pocket, and you can't really synchronise your contacts/data with your PC yet -- you can only back them up on a special server.
