Well if no one else will post something, I might as well keep going. So earlier this week I elevated my nerd alert status from a comfortable yellow Mustard to a red and gooey Cow Blood color. I got myself one of those Sidekick dealies from T-Mobile. How could I resist a device with a color screen, email, web browsing, instant messaging and a cell phone for 20 friggin dollars?
Sure it's like talking into a bar of soap, but who cares. As far as I'm concerned it payed for itself allowing me to read web comics and IM a coworker during that first long boring meeting. Jon over at goats has had one of these things for a very long time, and does all sorts of neat things with it like update his site, download pornography, and shear sheep (often simultaneously).
Just a word of warning: friends and family may not want to be seen near you in public when you pull it out and start typing with your thumbs.
weird, we both posted at the same time. we must be TWINS.
I GET TO BE DEVITO.

How is the service? In addition, what kind of nasty bill are you going to get for such a wide array of options?

i'm on my third sidekick, #1 was recalled for some reason by t-mobile, but my wheel was broken anyway. #2 took a swandive into the toilet.
moral: despite the urge you will have to do crazy x-treme sidekick stunts in or around the toilet area, it is best you do not.
awesome porta-aim-webbrowsing-pornsurfing device though.
no one ever calls me. ) :
