I want to input with everyones experience with this phone? Looks to be revolutionary to me.

The choice of AIM compatability irks me (Boycott AOL). If it ran PocketPC or Mobile Phone Edition I'd be all over it :)

I've had a little use with the T-Mobile Sidekick (AKA Danger HipTop), and I think the engineering and design are incredible! I'm so glad the Sony PSP didn't rip this off because I can suggest an alliance with Danger to Nintendo for their Next-Gen portable :) No, I don't think n-gage is a good idea. If it could play decent games, screw the phone capabilities!

If you've ever held the thing... it just *screams* "GameBoy". The area behind the screen feels more comfortable for your index fingers than the L & R buttons on any console. The area revealed below by the flip-up screen seems adequate for a six-button arcade layout if only widend a little. The GBA SP's sub-surface D-Pad and buttons could easily fit. Minimal controls when closed could be positioned on either side for two-player single-GB games (Jog dials and such similar to what remain on the current Sidekick).

Ah, one can dream.
