Does the sidekick do VPN yet? Until it does, or it has some other way to access corporate email, it won't replace the crackberry. I know Danger has said this is on their near-term to-do list. The other problem is the Sidekick is GSM-based, and coverage is still crappy outside of metro areas. The crackberry has a MUCH MUCH MUCH greater coverage area. A CDMA sidekick would fix this until Cingular and AT&T get their GSM networks fully ramped up.

no VPN on SK.

"The U.S. Congress is defending the continued use of foreign technology that is determined to be operating unlawfully."

Quite possibly the dumbest quote ever written by somebody who thought they were being smart.

Let me provide the excruciatingly obvious end of this sentence:

"determined to be operating unlawfully, according to laws revokable by The U.S. Congress."

My God, we finally have a good way to make Congress understand the gravity of the patent situation. A company with no product (holding companies make nothing) is threatening Congress's ability to do business, using the law (patents) that Congress has full authority to change.

Wow.

crackberries ... crap... non sequitur... There is no rival to blackberry. Treo comes close, but after evaluating both, blackberry wins, mainly becuase it WORKS. Treo is still a kludge. Haven't checked the sidekick yet. don't really know it's story. But i can't see how anyone could not like a blackberry.

full disclousre: yeah, i'm working on a messaging project for the guvmint to roll out about 26,000 of the things nationwide. so I've pretty much drunk the koolaid.
