Anyone knows if it's still using the low-res 240x160 or has moved to 320x240?

I'd love to know that as well. The manual didn't mention many specifics (as is usual, manuals are not spec sheets). If I had to guess I would say that QVGA is not likely. Text looks so much nicer on a QVGA screen, but everything has to be redesigned. But we'll see.

The screen is still 240x160 but the camera res should be about 1280x1024

I have been waiting for ever. Ship it already tmobile!

i think it is comming late this month maybe after the 25 if not early june, it is allready late so it has to come soon

i meant if not early july

I have been wonder about SK III relate to BlackBerry 8700g like it can download to Sidekick 3 as BlackBerry 8700g from other internet for game, GPS, screensaver, lists of the music... huh? Becuase my old first sidekick color is no good but my SIM card is doing fine. I have no choice, i have to buy upgrade for BlackBerry 8700s. Reason, Sidekick 2 are all GONE as no stock anymore recently. Blackberry 8700g have Intel inside more powerful can download for mircisoft word or excel OR can put GPS for travel, you won't be lost. aaand can pout your own picture for screensaver can download from PC to BlackBerry 8700g! you know that!BlackBerry 8700g have i711 relay be ready. It will tell you more explain. :) Just up to you if u like which blackberry 8700g or sidekick 3.

If the screen resolution is still that same retarded 240x160 screen.....Its a failure! No further asked questions.

What's interesting is that the T-Mobile MDA has everything that this new SK3 has but then some, and the MDA has been out for a little while now.

Now, it's slighty heavier than the Sidekick but if you are looking for a variety of features, especially the 320x240 screen that some of you mentioned, it has that, and although Michelle mentioned the latest Blackberry, which by features is pretty nice, but it lacks Bluetooth and a MiniSD card slot, which the MDA has (and the SK3 will have), and the MDA has the Word and Excel (and Powerpoint) mobile versions just like the Blackberry (which the SK3 won't have, but most younger people could care less about that unless their in college and save some assignments on them).

And although the MDA doesn't have Intel (it only has a 200MHz processor) it's connectivity options are more than the Blackberry in that it can connect from as simple as a WAP connection (but that's like if you're in the country somewhere), but mostly you've got GPRS/EDGE, Bluetooth, and then WiFi at the top level if you have it or go to a T-Mobile Hotspot to connect for free. Then it also has a slide out QWERTY keyboard with spaced out keys, although you can just use the stylus and tap away if you want. Oh, and did I mention the that when you slide the keyboard out that the screen image shifts from potrait to landscape instantly?

As for mine, thus far, I've loaded a full movie onto it (e.g. Ocean's Twelve), some mp3s, and some pics (with great resolution might I add, though with the 1GB miniSD card I got, I'm gonna have to upgrade to a 2GB though I'm holding out to see if a 4GB comes out soon and just get that and be set).

Sideckicks are known for their messaging and the MDA even has AIM, Yahoo, and MSN messengers...oh, and it's a phone, too! (lol)

I'm not knocking the SK3, for what I do know about it thus far, it seems the MDA has it everything you could want and then some. The onyl reason I'm hyping up the MDA is because I was also waiting for the SK3 but while doing my research while getting the leaked info on specs, it just seemed that the MDA had more going for it.

If interested, www.Letstalk.com is selling it for $249 (as opposed to T-Mobile's $299 price) but also offers $200 in rebates to knock the price down to a crazy $49!

Do the homework, compare the features, figure out what fits you best, and decide. For those who needed an option (perhaps a better one) I hope this was helpful.

Oh, and one more thing...apparently the SK3 will only be a triband GSM phone (850/1800/1900MHz), whereas the MDA is quadband (850/900/1800/1900MHz). For those who travel out of the country from time to time, you know how important it is to have BOTH 900 and 1800 for European/African/Asian travel. So if you're a world traveler or plan to take a vacation somewhere on the Eastern hemisphere, the SK3 may not work in a number of areas.

Other than that, if this or the other stuff doesn't apply to you, then I hope the SK3 will be all that you hoped it would be, and please post your thoughts about it. After waiting this long for it myself, I'd love to know if it really lives up to its hype ;)

The easiest way to make you hate your MDA.

1. try to use aol instant messenger (complete joke)
2. try to use wifi while browsing the web and playing mp3s (can you say slow?)
3. the keyboard stands zero chance against the sidekick.

The funny thing is I own the sidekick2 and the blackberry 8700g. The blackberry 8700g does have bluetooth btw, someone said it didnt' in an earlier post.

The mda would be the ultimate device if it was 400mhz or faster. It really needs more power and system memory in order to multitask to its full potential. Also the touch screen actually works against its effectivness. I could never drive on the freeway and type on the MDA like I do with my sidekick. The keyboard is just much easier to use and the device is designed for simple navigation.

Will the Sidekick 3 have a touch screen like the MDA?

nope it wont have a touch screen. The list price is not $399.. it is $350 as stated in the Ad in Jul/Aug Men's Health. That isnt even counting the trade-in program and rebates if you renew your contract for 2yrs.

About the MDA, I had one.... It was lame! processor to slow, Winblows Mobile 5 is crap, and the reception was horrible indoors. Not to mention the AIM/Yahoo/MSN run on SMS and not data.. So expect your IM's to have major latency isues.

Stick with the SK3, better pricing for your data/voice plans and just easier and more stable to use!

Does anybody know if the sidekick 3 supports is windows supported and has Microsoft works and Excel?

the talk of the sidekick 3 is that it might be the last sidekick in the world......hopefully for me i will get it and you guys lay off of it!!!!! ...j/k .... :)

Can anyone give me more input on the MDA I now have sk2 and thinking about getting the mda as opposed to the sk3.

Dude if this device doesn't hurry up and come out I'm going to go crazy. The more I look at the photos and read how it has been upgraded the more I want it. I feel the SIDEKICK 3 was made just for me. I feel we were ment for each other LOL!!! Tmobile HURRY UP already.

omg!!!! i hate the sk3, it's soooo ugly, no spkr,no ball, the screen is the same, and the color,shape. it's all ugly and i have tons more to say whats wrongg wit it. i mean they should have made it the exact same way as sk2 but the only thing change was that it was sleeker. but i'm getting it though causei worked my butt off to get this, and theres no further question asked if i like it or not!!!!!!

What ports does/will it have?

June 28th is when current tmo customers can upgrade to the SK3 and it goes on sale for the rest on July 10th.

I am definitely going to buy a SK3 on June 28th (this Wed) when it is available to TMo customers.

I had a SKII for two years and when it broke, I got stupid and bought an MDA. I hate it. It does have lots of cool features, like Windows Media player and Word/Excel, but at the expense of the easy functionality of the basic messaging features, which is what my old SKII was excellent for. The MDA can play music, but it sucks the life out of the battery.

The email only works properly about half of the time, and there is no automatic forwarding; you can set it up to automatically log on, but it gets annoying if you try to do anything while it's logging on and slowing everything down. Also, the auto-login setting is a nother huge battery drain.

Text messaging is ok, but the keyboard isn't as comfy as the SKII (the new one looks almost the same, just a little smaller, and with plastic vs rummer keys, which I like). Plus, although the brief version of Word is pretty cool, the Excel is pretty much pointless because it only has a few functions and it's hard to read and navigate through the cells. As for the screen, well, the resolution may be better than the SK but you can't see it in daylight outside unless the brightness setting is on its highest, and guess what? Yep, battery drain.

The MDA's address book is a pain in the butt to manage; when I sync it to my computer, sometimes it doesn't work, and when it does, it makes duplicate copies of my contacts. I have changed the setting to what it should be so it won't but it doesn't recognize the device as being the same one each time, so it still duplicates. I have like 2,000 contacts in my MDA right now when I should have maybe 600. Also, it doesn't download vCards right, so I never use them.

The cool things about the MDA are the memory card and bluetooth capabilities, which the SK3 has answered for me. I only use my bluetooth for a headset, anyway, so the limitations don't bother me. The SK is hands down the best messaging device I've ever met, and I gave it up to try to get more 'businesslike' features, which turned out to be less than I hoped for. The other cool features of the MDA are a pain in the butt to use and really it is all too complicated; I want a phone that I can use to be more productive, but the MDA was sucking up valuable time with its bugs, issues, problems, calls to tech support, etc. My basic need is messaging and nothing else even comes close to serving me like my SK did. If I want a mobile work center, I'll take my laptop. For a messaging phone, Sidekick is the best tool for keeping in touch.

I forgot to mention, the MDA can't sync to Mac, and although it's supposed to be able to work as a laptop modem if needed, it won't work for a Mac. The monthly plan is more expensive and for communication purposes you're getting less. The WiFi only works occasionally, and it doesn't make it much faster than the GRS anyway. Plus, battery drain. If I used all the features all the time, my battery would last about two to three hours. The Sidekick's improvements, even for the SKII after the over-the-air update, makes it better than the MDA for email, internet (amazingly; my MDA only loads pages half the time and doesn't work with Google at all), text messaging, instant messaging (I can leave the Sidekick IM on all day but the MDA battery dies after being logged in for a few hours), and even phone (the MDA phone sucks, IMO). Now that the SK3 will have Bluetooth ability for a headset, the main gripe I had about the phone being too clunky and annoying to dial is resolved, since I will now be able to dial and talk with the flip screen open, using the headset. I guess SK3 isn't for everyone, but it just depends on what you want. If you want a device that can do everything in the universe (albeit slowly and with technical complications), then get a Windows Mobile smartphone or PDA. If you want a strong, easy to use communication device that only claims to do certain tasks but does them exceptionally well, then buy a Sidekick. Know what you want, and you'll be satisfied.

windy, GPRS

who wants to trade sk2 for3 with some money

Bleezy, thanks. I can never remember which is which -- all those acronyms. I know acronyms in my own field and remembering any beyond that is just too much to ask. :-)

Are there two different release dates if you have a T Mobile contract or if you are deciding to get one?

HEY WAT UP

THE SIDEKICK3 IS THE SHIT

I got my sidekick 3 two days ago. It's great, like it was promised. There a few things I don't like about it one being that it doesn't have video recording (but what the hell, I carry my camera everywhere anyways), the camera sucks inside but is good outside, there's not that much you can download to it, and I can't for the life of me figure out how to change the wallpaper to something other than the 4 that come with it.

yea...wendy you dumb tramp... the mda is the best phone in the world. it can do everything. real people make real money using real tools. not a kiddy tool like the shitty sk3. the sk3 sucks and i went back to my mda.

Sk3 can't view video such as youtube.com on internet but why!!?? It say your flash verison old and I try to dl it new flash update but it won't and sk3 can't play any music on peope 's page such as myspace.. Usually when you go online on computer you can hear song on page but sk3 can't and video too (youtube.com)

This side kick 3 has many nice features but it doesn't do the things that my razr did well. I need an alarm and this doesn't have it ...the screen has chipped a section of the plastic off and the roller ball attracts dirt and it gets stuck under the clear send / end call buttons..
I wish I bought the blackberry

the sidekick 3 is better then the MDA. if u didnt notice, the MDA with internet and unlimited messaging is over 80 dollars a month. However with the sidekick its under 60. also who cares if you dont have viedo on your phone, i mean, when do u really need to watch a viedo so badly ? If u need all that, just get a Laptop.
