My beloved Sidekick II's keyboard is starting to come off. This usually means that I've had my "mobile communication solution" for long enough to start seeing what else is on the horizon. If this is indicative of what's coming, I'm psyched:

...from the five minutes we spent with the Q we can tell you that yes, it is incredibly thin, that it has a nice, crisp screen, and that the keyboard was fairly easy to use...

The Sidekick II is nice but is still a bit weak. It's a bit bigger than other devices, still no infrared, no bluetooth, poor Outlook sync, and little ability to expand it's functionality. The promise of custom code running on the device has fallen very short, as their developer program has far too much red tape involved, and isn't tailored for home grown efforts (it's clearly designed to allow providers to have tight controls on what can and cannot be run on the device).

Update: Dari brings the Reuter's story about this device to our attention.
