Reviews of the T-Mobile Sidekick 3

CNET Review
The Good: The T-Mobile Sidekick 3 features a number of improvements, including a sleeker design, a 1.3-megapixel camera, an integrated music player, Bluetooth, and EDGE support. It also has a Mini SD card slot, a speakerphone, and world phone support.
The Bad: The T-Mobile Sidekick 3 suffers from a low-resolution screen, and speakerphone quality was subpar. It's also a bit bulky and heavy, and camera options are limited.
The Bottom Line: The T-Mobile Sidekick 3 brings some notable additions, such as Bluetooth and an MP3 player, and continues to be a solid messaging device for the younger crowd; we just wish it had a better screen.
