NYTimes reviews the Sidekick II

The New York Times (free registration required) has a slightly smarmy but reasonably thorough review of the Sidekick II. It seems to be a clever little device, and much improved over the first version. edit: The review misses out on some technical issues of interest to geeks like us, such as battery life and weight, but overall is a good read.

Hey it is a good read but it does say a bit about battery life in the article just to let you know.

From the article:

Other improvements include a louder, clearer speaker, a redesigned radio for better reception, external volume buttons, programmable "shoulder buttons" at the top corners, better battery life (4.5 hours of talk time, 60 standby), and so on.

I like how this device looks and wonder if you have to have a voice plan with it. $20 for unlimited internet is really cool. I'm going to check T-Mobile site right now and see.

Thanks for the heads up!

Whoops, my mistake. I read it too fast!

It's okay...by the way we are neck and neck with posts.
