I'm not sure why. I had a SK2 and now an SK3 and while I liked the 2, I've been frustrated that they didn't improve some things on the 3 and even made other things worse (like reliability. It restarts randomly for no apparent reason nearly every day). Found out last week that I'm out of contract, so as soon as that Helio Ocean hits the shelves I'm leaving my SK3 behind. The iPhone, from what I understand, will not be as good as a Sidekick for messaging, as it doesn't do IM (just email and sms) and that virtual keyboard probably stinks for thumb typing, anyway.

The thing may suck, but if it includes bluetooth (not likely from what I understand), I may finally be able to afford buying my girlfriend a Sidekick.
God, I can't even find a used SK3 on eBay for a decent price. Why do people like this thing so much?
