What's a good alternative to the Sidekick 2?

T-Mobile MDA (aka iMate K-Jam, HTC Wizard) should be released this month. Wait for that to come out.

if you have to stick with tmobile, there's nothing better to meet your requirements
switch providers and you have more options, or wait for new phones to roll out soon enough

unlocked 8700c or unlocked hp hw6515 or wait for the hw6915 or Q.

I'm probably getting an 8700 through work soon, either we're switching our accounts to cingular or getting unlocked ones or waiting for the 8700g, but I'm probably going to buy an hp hw6915 when it comes out too.

On the 20th Tmobile will release the MDA(AKA the Qtek 9100, HTC Wizard)
I too am looking for a Sidekick replacement and am considering the MDA.

Will have to wait till Monday for the details on the service plans. A rep in the store told me it would be $29.99 per month for the data service, txt msg not included and calls are $.20 per minute. I'm assuming it's the internet plan however when I check the web site at tmobile.com the Internet Plan is 44.99 per month and that's GPRS(not EDGE)

Will have to wait and see.

No clue, work pays for it.
