So, Danger Hiptop aka T-Mobile Sidekick. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_Sidekick https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/T-Mobile_Sidekick A review from 2003: your phone, laptop and cellphone (Mar 5, 2003 by scott williams) the hiptop is the coolest thing ever. the web browser is surprisingly nice to use. the phone is slightly awkward, but usable. email is a dream. the web has almost all the features of ie. bookmarks, homepage, recent pages and a url capture for email. the browser is a wee bit slower than a 56k. as a phone, the speaker is plenty loud enough. I do not like headsets, so I always hold the phone to my ear. at first, the phone was awkward to hold, but after a few calls I actually found I liked it better than previous phones. the larger size made it somewhat easier to hold. no hand cramping like with a se t68i. that said, the phone isn't tiny, but doesn't feel like a brick either. the screen, while small is very easy to read. the backlight is the nice calm blue. very nice. the keypad is small but not too small. it took me about two days to get used to typing text messages on a qwerty keypad. so after having the sidekick for a week I will never have another phone again. well, maybe when the new color one comes out. it does everything but the laundry. and I wrote this on the sidekick too. That device hit a sweet spot the Palm, Blackberry, and WinCE phones hadn't, and iPhone didn't for a while* either (maybe still hasn't, depending on the importance of the mechanical and tactile UX). Oh yeah, Danger, Inc. was cofounded by Andy Rubin, who would become the author of Android. --- * Early on, people purchased case sleeves for iPhone with tactile keyboards. It took Apple a while to tune the haptic and prediction to hide how relatively poor iPhone keyboards initially were compared to a Blackberry or Sidekick.
