I bought the sidekick II because of the internet access, decent keyboard, camera, and the Java SDK. The hardware and software interfaces are well designed. It is very easy to pick it up and start using the applications. I easily emailed some photos after my data connection became active. The camera is slightly challenged in the dark even after enabling the night mode. If the BOM (bill of materials) costs are not too great they should put a better flash in the next model regardless of the power consumption. I downloaded the SSH client, alarm clock (world clock), and calculator. It was a kick logging in to one of my servers, though you should probably use one time passwords. My friend seriously envied my new geek toy. My biggest gripe may be resolved in the near future. For some reason the web browser doesn't work very well. The web browser times out during the day on both the Cingular network in Palm Desert and on the T mob network in Portland, Or. It works slowly after about 9pm. I was able to email with 40k photo attachments that arrived at the email destination relatively quickly . The slowdown might be after the PCU->SGSN->GGSN part of the network. Is there a problem w/ the RADIUS servers. Does Danger run services for the carriers instead providing them w/ a platform?My second gripe is that Danger doesn't give me any info about theavailability of the java SDK. The danger website says that developer sign up is down and their customer support that I am directed to on the phone doesn't have any time estimate or other info. Otherwise the design and software are great. I hope that it is possible for me to eventually obtain the necessary SDK and any available documentation so that I can write some innovative applications that are well tested. Hopefully this may happen w/oDanger or Tmob feeling that it will increase customer support costs or intrude on their business model. Great phone :) The hardware and software are well designed and manufactured. Buy PDA screen protectors and cut them to fit the sidekick or buythe ones that fit when they are available.NOTE: Web requests seem to be working much better 03/23/05and Danger shows an expected 03/28/05 developer web siteavailability :)
