Hiptop/Sidekick Sequel Unleashed

Posted by simoniker on from the danger-will-robinson dept.

powerline22 writes "After years of waiting, the second Hiptop (or Sidekick, depending on the carrier) has been unveiled to the public. After the terrible hardware reliability of the first version, the second one, manufactured by Sharp, looks a lot better, with longer battery life, built-in camera, more buttons, better radio, new software features and more. Also, according to T-Mobile, sync is going to finally be here real soon now. There are reviews at CNet, over at PCMag, and at MSNBC." We recently covered leaked Hiptop II photos.

    Looking at the size of the thing I'm thinking sidekick means you need a bring a buddy everwhere to lug it around for you.

    I prefer a midget as my sidekick. They are both helpful and entertaining.
