not entirely...... don't believe anything the tmo reps tell you. Their info is based entirely on myth. Even tho they work for Tmobile, they won't know exactly what date the SK3 will come out. Danger (the manufacturer of the sk) still has to finalize the word that they're developing the SK3. Although visit www.hiptop.com if u want to see a video of the SK lab and their talk on the new prototype There should be a link.... on one of the posts...... but the video is located at www.deafnation.com......... haha peaces

err is it me or is anyone else concerned about security? i mean the sidekick are being serviced by a completely differnt company (not tmobile, they just retail it) and everything in the damn thing are uploaded to a server. and quite frankly i don't think they improved security since hilton's sidekick got hacked.

I'm pretty sure they have at least looked at improving security somehow,although there are always loop holes. I'm not too worried about it. i dont keep anything that important on my phone anyway. always have a back up plan.

ummm, well there's no official word yet man. Plus Tmobile doesn't develop the sidekick, so the reps wouldn't know anything since their not getting any word from any press release. I'd wait till a press release is out, and then we can expect it next year most likely. Plus the hiptop.com site rocks!! don't diss the hiptop man.

lol it's probably good use to you because you know how to use it. now if you are a mere mortal like me then it's not really what we want to see.i was just looking for basic things.i've also been to the site for danger where you can create your own ringtones if you are a developer. that shyt is confusing

i just got a sidekick 2 for free! its awesome! talk about prices coming down! its at www.ushopwireless.com/cr. They're even taking pre-orders for the blackberry 8700. I asked one of the agents about the sidekick 3, and they're saying it may be early or mid summer before it comes out.

That is really awesome, but is SK 3 gonna have Wi-Fi when they first release, or it will be later on release date??

SK2 is big n bulky... hopefullie skIII is smaller&slimer

No not that what I heard.. It will be little bigger than SK II...

Wow i figured they would change the design shape and everything... but it still resemble the SK2...

I guess the only changes really are the screen, buttons, and camara.
