Sidekick II Intellisync Released

Sidekick II Intellisync Released 09/22/2004 08:39 AM

Along with the new hardware with the upgraded camera, radio, and what not, one of the major promises of the Sidekick II is that Danger and T-Mo would finally offer a proper sync program. And as of yesterday, as long as you're using Windows, it's here. I had a chance to play around with a beta version a little when I was testing the SKII, and while I think it's great that they've finally offered a sync program, I hope that they'll continue to support more PIMs than just Outlook (and generic data files, I think, as well). A Thunderbird contacts importer would be great, for instance.

The bum deal for Sidekick II users is that the new Intellisync application is a $10 purchase from Danger (although you can buy it once and install it on as many PCs as you like). And since the Sidekick is a closed platform, no one else can write a sync program that works over the airwaves like Danger's. Welcome to the future of monolithic carrier/manufacturer platforms.

Sidekick Vs. Treo 600

Sidekick Vs. Treo 600 07/30/2004 09:56 AM

I'm a fan of both the Sidekick and the Treo 600, so when Levi Wallach wrote to tell me about his in-depth comparison article featuring the two keyboarded messenger devices, I immediately did what any sane person would do and read it and then forgot to post about it. Fortunately for you, that was only like last week, and the information is no less pertinent. In fact, with the Sidekick II and the Treo Ace/610 just around the corner, bargain-minded shoppers would do well to pay extra attention to the two devices that are still plenty capable and about to get plenty cheap.

T-Mobile Sidekick II Reviewed 08/04/2004 09:57 AM

So, uhm, I guess the wait for the T-Mobile Sidekick II is about over since PC Magazine just put up a review. Way to start the hype machine, Danger! Maybe they decided not to really talk it up because it looks sort of, you know, bland. I mean, come on, VGA camera? Is the Sidekick destined to remain the sort-of-cool cellphone with the crappy camera? How about user-developed applications? When do we get those?

I guess I'll reserve final judgement until I can play around with the new unit, but for now it looks like a modest upgrade to a unit sorely in need of some juice in the first place. Also, I'm still a little bit bitter Danger got so fussy a few months back when we leaked the images of the Sidekick II. We only leaked because we cared! (Thanks, RVK!)

Has T-Mobile dropped the Sidekick, Danger's mobile communicator? Amazon, other retail sites, and T-Mobile's own site list the Sidekick as out of stock due to high demand, but we just received a tip that there have been so many quality problems with the Sidekick that T-Mobile has decided to drop it entirely. Anybody know what's really going on here?

A bit of interesting chim cham from one Mr. Brahe, of One Internet Lane: Apparently, while futzing around with the new Sidekick II in San Diego, he happened to pick up on an important difference between the old model and the new: While user-submitted programs for the first Sidekick had to be approved by T-Mobile (something they were seemingly reticent to do, like, ever), Danger, creator of the Sidekick (nee Hiptop) have wrested control of user-submitted applications back, making one critical difference between versions: the new model will likely have more of what people really want: applications.

Of course, one Internet Semistar does not a source make, but if we'll follow up with Danger and see what we can find out.

Gundam Haro Cube PC Sidekick 07/30/2004 11:03 PM

If you own a cube PC and like Gundam, you'll probably lose it for this new "case case." Obviously inspired by the show (well, obvious if you've seen it before), the "Haro" can fit entire cube PCs inside. But how could Haro be complete without annoying sidekick-like behavior? By way of remote controller, you can make Haro's limbs move, and he will say up to 12 different phrases such as "What the hell are you doing?" and "Hello?" and "Do you have a girlfriend yet, Stonecold?"

T-Mobile Sidekick II Review: Best Phone
I'll Never Buy

T-Mobile Sidekick II Review: Best Phone
I'll Never Buy 08/19/2004 03:13 PM

So I'm heartbroken. I've just spent a week using the T-Mobile Sidekick II, and I think it's probably one of the best mobile devices I've ever used. And I can say, with total conviction, that I will never, ever purchase one and neither should you. In fact, after the experiences I've had today with T-Mobile, I'm not sure I can ever recommend one of their products again.

You may have noticed I'm a little slow on posting today. The reason is, besides being really, really high, is that I've spent about two hours on the phone with various customer service reps trying to resolve an issue that's been plaguing my primary account for the last three months. I've stayed away from mentioning it on Gizmodo, because I didn't want to turn my personal experiences into an overall anti-T-Mobile bias, but after my experiences today, with the yelling, the lies, and the misdirections, I am finally leaving them for good, and I have received such consistent horrible, deceitful service that I've come to realize it's indicative of a larger overall problem with the company - and that's worth telling you about.

But first, let me explain why the Sidekick II is so awesome.

Sidekick Synching on T-Mobile Petition

Sidekick Synching on T-Mobile Petition 06/10/2004 07:55 AM

Although web petitions are about as effective at charging corporate policy as complaints to customer service agents or extremely huffy forum posts, Levi Wallach is doing what he can to encourage T-Mobile to support synching on the Danger Sidekick -- something promised by the company for years and which is currently being supported by non-U.S. cellular vendor Cable & Wireless. Since all the data that goes to and from the Sidekicks has to go through T-Mobiles servers (instead of just their network), I would guess they would have to upgrade all their internal hardware to support something like this, something perennial tightasses like T-Mobile are loathe to do. But hey, sign Levi's petition and see what they say, if anything.

T-Mobile Sidekick 2/Danger Hiptop 2
Revealed 06/22/2004 01:49 PM

Speaking of FCC leaks, looks like the Sidekick II -- note the T-Mobile 'Sidekick' branding, and not 'Hiptop' -- is approved for FCC use, which means among other things pictures and user manuals have been revealed. It looks similar to the unit we posted a few months ago, but it looks like the camera on the back might include a flash, to which we say with no shame at all, "Oh, snap!" (Okay, maybe a little shame). Go ahead and dig around on the FCC site and see what you can find and we'll do the same. Let's just hope and pray that camera is 1-megapixel plus.
