    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.

    Review Summary: The Sidekick 3 concept is sound, and its automatic data backup and BlackBerry-like e-mail push both appeal. But as a Smartphone the device is unsophisticated in its capabilities. It is, perhaps, best described as a no-brainer Smartphone for the young ...
