    I also didnt care much for the bb keyboard and I heard after a while that the keys wear out which would cause some problems.

    you should add t-mobile plan pricings to the comparison chart as well
    I actually originally did but one person said that prices always change so I took it off.

    Right now, Sidekick 3 data plan with voice plan, the data plan is at $19.99 extra. If you choose not to have voice plan than the price will be $29.99 data plan.

    Same thing with the Blackberry but just a dollar more so not so much of a big price difference.

    If you want unlimited text messaging with your voice and data for the Blackberry (like the Sidekick 3) than you need the anytime minutes plan. Those comes with everything you need.

    BlackBerry Minutes & Mail Rate Plan: BlackBerry Minutes & Mail details
    BlackBerry Minutes & Mail Ultra Rate Plan: BlackBerry Minutes & Mail Ultra details

    Not too many people know about those plans because it's hidden away at T-mobile website. You have to do lots of clicking and searching to find it.

    ok... I just made the chart so people will be aware of what they are getting.

    I seen stories about people saying they wish it can do this and that when the Blackberry 8100 can already do that.

    If you are happy with the Sidekick 3 than keep. I am happy with my 8100.

    If I knew the Blackberry can do so much more than a Sidekick, my first smart phone will be a Blackbery and not a Sidekick.

    The Blackberry 8100 do have unlimited text messaging if you get the 1000 or 1500 anytime minutes Blackberry Plan. It includes voice and data. It's hidden away at the T-mobile web site so not too many people know about it. Here's the link.

    I'm thinking about getting a Pearl or Sidekick 3, and I'm leaning towards the Sidekick 3. I just like the whole feel of it better, plus the unlimited texting.

    I love it! I blows Sidekick 3 away!

    I will say that I don't like the keyboard either but after using it for a while, you will get used to it.

    Well the 8 e-mail accounts will really help me. Even though I only have two "real" accounts (not including the one I'll get from T-Mobile), I have tons of alias addresses.

    #2 was not an error really, but just some poor phrasiology.

    Good page!

    It says so on the bottom of the page.

    By the way, does the SK3 have a calc?
    Like I said in the chart on the footnote on the bottom of the page, you have to download it to your Sidekick 3. It's available for free.

    Are you sure about that? Everything on T-Mobile.com and Sidekick.com says three.
