    CNET Review

    November 3, 2002

    The Good: Affordable; nice keyboard; real-time e-mail and instant messaging; GPRS support; Web browser; supports over-the-air updates and downloads.

    The Bad: Somewhat bulky; mediocre battery life; lacks speakerphone; phone implementation could be better; no memory-expansion slot.

    The Bottom Line: While not perfect, for the money, the Sidekick is a very attractive all-in-one wireless-communications device.
