Sidekicks are OUT and Treo 600s are IN!

After discussing with Bewitched about various pagers, I can see the Sidekicks becoming a thing of the past because Treo 600's the next hottest thing to hit the Deaf community! I am hoping E would post a little more about the differences between Color Sidekick and Treo 600. Is it true that Treo supports Java when Sidekick doesn't? Also, is it true that Treo loads pages faster?
 
Finally, you understand. Now, you see - sidekick suck - big time!

Sorry, no offense, sidekick user. :P :fart:
 
i love sidekick!!! cuz of i use my grrl's sidekick and look fine with me... no plms with me.. i love it... ( javapride here) and i do not care if its not java supported or not the main issue is i can communicate on the pager and also check e mails and go into AD check out some stuff there otherwise so what abt the fancy supported stuff i do not care abt that all i want to do is have it workable for work and for personal usage!
 
*sitting and waiting for E to respond about the difference...*

I'm glad i didn't buy sidekick since... i heard many of my friends break their sidekick.. anyway if treo 600 is better i'll consider buying it :D
 
Who cares if it's java-enabled. It's bigger than Sidekick... and a waste of money. I'd wait until the come out with something that's the same size as those RIM pagers. For me, I don't need the internet every single day. I only need something to communicate with my friends when I feel like it... and that's the simple email that RIM pagers provide. Sidekick/Treo offers AIM, what am I going to do? Sit around and chat all day while I'm out of my room? That's like being back in my room... which would suck. Sidekick/Treo offers internet, what can I do with the internet? Sure, it could offer me a few nifty features... but I would never use it. I've been out a lot on my own and never had the need for the internet. Hell, the range sucks so bad on these things that I could never get on the internet unless I went outside. Nice fonts and displays? So what, I don't need any fancy schmancy toy just to make my emails look better. I can read emails on RIM much better than everything else. Heh!

If you want e-mail only. Blackberry is way to go.

Treo 600 is for digital life user. It has everything combine personal and business. :P ~ pffft!
 
From what I understand, Sidekick has only limited internet browsing bec a lot of pages aren't loading right. It is said that Treo 600 can browse more pages than Sidekicks could.

I would rather go out and use the internet whenever I want to! I hate being tied down to a fat desktop computer. Also, I strictly follow the "check your guns at the door" policy.

About the prices. Remember the good old days when Sidekicks were $300+??? Same thing goes with Treo 600! The prices will drop!
 
sidekick is flip-up which can be break easy.

That's why I prefer non-flip-up. That's Treo 600. :) Blackberry, too!

Exactly! I feel sorry for the declining social life that's happening around here. More people are getting CIs and not signing any more so they "disappear" from the deaf community. More people are getting Sidekicks and focusing too much on their pagers that they don't talk to others in person any more. Sometimes, if you enter a dining area with a bunch of people... you can see 75% of them with their heads down fiddling with their Sidekicks.

Clarification of the "Check Your Guns At the Door" Policy that I found by googling "Pager Etiquette":

"Check Your Guns At the Door"

I usually have a "check your guns at the door" policy in any meetings where the attention of participants is required. This means that all cell phones, pagers, laptops, etc. have to be turned off.

To make it easier for people to do without their gadgets, and harder for them to come up with excuses, I send a preprinted agenda with space for people to take notes on. (People who take notes on their laptops are generally also checking their e-mail several times an hour, checking the news and their stocks, or possibly even playing games! The tempatation of all that information and entertainment at your fingertips is simply too great.)

This makes our meetings much more productive, and the level of participation much higher. (Maybe partly because everybody is in a hurry to conclude our business and get back to their e-mail!)
