T-Mobile plans to start selling on Friday the color version of Danger's Sidekick gadget, along with a broader range of monthly plans for the unit, which acts as a cell phone, a Web browser and an instant-messaging and e-mail device.

With the new service plans, customers can get unlimited usage of the device's unlimited e-mail, Web surfing and AOL instant messaging functions, with any T-Mobile rate plan for an extra $20 a month. T-Mobile also is offering a data-only option for $29.95 a month, with any voice minutes billed at 20 cents a minute. Previously, Sidekick owners had to choose from one of two rate plans that included unlimited data and a set number of voice minutes for between $40 and $60 a month.

"I think the data plans that T-Mobile has come up with are really killer," Danger CEO Henry "Hank" Nothhaft said in a telephone interview. In particular, Nothhaft noted, the data-only plan will appeal to the deaf community, which has been a strong market for the Sidekick. Until now, though, deaf users have been paying for voice minutes that they don't need.
