T-Mobile Sidekick

Harper always does this to me and I hate it.

Step 1: Harper keeps up on new technology big time (which is one advantage to having him as a friend
Step 2: Harper buys the new technology
Step 3: Harper shows it off to me
Step 4: I get jealous
Step 5: I read about the technology
Step 6: I learn that Harper is right and I want whatever it is that he bought
Step 7: I usually buy the product

This is cycle really stupid and usually expensive for me...

but anyway, Harper was IMing me from someone's car today via his Sidekick, which is step 3 from the cycle mentioned above. So I've already gotten over the Jealousy and read about the sidekick at danger.com.

It's got a full qwerty keyboard, AIM, unlimited email via the built in IMAP/Pop client, SSH, and it is not much bigger than my i95cl. (my phone: 2.0" x 3.5" x 1.1" // sidekick: 4.6" x 2.6" x 1.1")

...and i'm out of my contract. So, the next step is finding out how I can work out a good monthly plan, and then probably probably buy the sidekick.

Harper is one of my worst friends for this crap, haha.
Be strong Broox, say no. You get to use AIM and email on your computer all day at work if you want. Who needs that thing?

yeah right, you won't take it to a club because you'll be wearing pants that your wallet barely fits in.
