First of all, possibly retarded question but is TMobile the only carrier that Sidekicks operate on?
Next, what is TMobile service like in say... Pennsylvania? I checked the coverage map on their site and it looks like it'd be perfect in my area (16335) but when I used to work at Staples and we carried Sprint, the maps we had were WAY off, hence my questioning despite looking at their coverage maps.
The only other thing that I can think of now is this... I want a phone with a decent qwerty keyboard, FULL internet access not WAP, good texting, AIM use, and decent phone service. Would this be maybe what I am looking for?

If you going to use it for business, take a look at Blackberry also.
If you don't mind spending $10 more per month, I might also take a look at MDA (Windows Mobile Cell Phone) and few other cell phones.
I have Sidekick 2 right now. I am happy with it but I was hoping it can do more though. Here's my pros and cons of it.
PRO -
It's almost like a PDA. It have a note pad, celender, to do list, address book, etc.
I have access to the Internet.
I look at the maps and directions.
I could take a look at the yellow pages.
Good selection of games to download.
CON -
There are some websites that will not work on the Sidekick 2. For example, Flash, videos, etc.
The web page is crunch into a small screen.
It can not be connected to the computer to be used as a modem.
Needs nore work on the Javascript and memory.
OVERALL -
Out of 5 stars, I give it 3 stars.

None of the data features would work with Cingular, so it would only work as a phone.
I'm looking for a service that allows me to browse the internet privately
