Sidekick 2 vs Blackberry
Nick Starr | February 27, 2006
After this weekend and seeing many people using their Blackberry (after the Judge decided not to shut them down, yet), I began to re-think my stance on my Sidekick. Now I’ve been a Sidekick user since they came out. Black and white, color, then Sidekick 2, and it has been the best cell phone I’ve ever used.
The Blackberry has all of the features of the Sidekick as far as I can tell. It even has the ability to add in programs, unlike the Sidekick which is locked down.
There is Gtalk and Gmail programs on the Blackberry as well, which I would certainly be using.
Also there is 2 models of Crackberries that T-Mobile has. I am leaning towards the full keyboard model, because I really have never seen a “learning” keyboard work well.
Anyone have any thoughts? I know there are TONS of Blackberry users out there. Anyone used a SK and BlackBerry? I’m really thinking of switching.
Two questions for Blackberry users: does AIM have the full 200 list of buddies or only a mobile list of 30, and can you see the person’s away message w/o im’ing them?

Matt C. | April 16, 2006I recently switched from an SKII (been using that and Symbian smartphones for a couple of years now, well sk then sk2) to a Blackberry 7105t (with the suretype keyboard on it) and I will say that I couldn’t be happier. I loved my sk2, and used it all the time… but the BlackBerry outshines it in a few ways. First, the screen is better on it, brighter and more vivid. Secondly, the OS is way more robust (if a little less user friendly), and there are a ton of 3rd party apps available for it. And finally, it doesn’t have anywhere near the network problems that have unfortunatly plagued the sk2.
If you aren’t interested in the suretype version (which works remarkably well by the way, I’m already faster on it then I was on my sk2 strangely enough), you can always go for the T-Mobile 8700g which is coming out this week (it’s the most up to date BB out there, full qwerty, EDGE, bluetooth, faster proc, more memory, etc.).
