I had been considering ditching my Sidekick for the past month or so. It just became more of an annoyance than a convenience for AiM & e-mail. Plus, I wanted a phone that was a little more up-to-date because the Sidekick has been falling pretty short. I looked into a few different phones, but T-Mobile wasn’t offering much and I wasn’t going through the trouble with providers and contracts just for a phone. I looked into the Tony Hawk ones, but my Sidekick is barely use as is and I wasn’t going to drop money just to get video. At least I thought that’s what I had to do. T-Mobile neglected to advertise largely that their would be an over-the-air update giving video and other updates to Sidekick users. Luckily I went forum-to-forum and site-to-site to find this out, because they didn’t mention it anywhere in the release of the Tony Hawk LE Sidekick. Anyway, I kind of forgot about the update until I got it this weekend. Some of the newer feature?

I am rather impressed and I’ve heard rumors about the Sidekick 4 coming out soon, but IDK. Overall, it’s a major upgrade and the images even seem a bit clearer. I might keep my Sidekick a bit longer. Now if only you could do mobile broadcasting from it.
