Blackberry 7520 vs Sidekick II

[boywita]

well im tryin to decide between these 2 phones.... i been with the sidekick since black and white sidekick days.. and now that im with the sidekick II im just not impressed anymore.. im just wanting some reasons why i should stay with the sidekick and why i should switch over to the black berry.. NEXTEL is offering a trade in value of 100.00 (per their website) if people trade in their sidekick II for the new Blackberry 7520... from what i have read about this phone is that its awesome.... in comparison with the sidekick it doesnt have a camera (but i dont use that camera very much) but what it does have is the Bluetooth... (something that a lot of sidekick users would die to have) and then also it does support third party apps. it has GPS so that you can use a software program called TeleNav and get step by step directions... also it does have Push mail... through Verichat it has all the Messaging progams and it also now has a web brower that supports java script... it a tap bit smaller than the sidekick.. thats all i can come up with... someone please tell me some pros and cons about why i should or shouldnt switch from the sidekick to the blackberry.... thanks for everyone's help.

You forgot Direct connect! The main reason for nextel

I haven't even played with a 7520, but I have with sidekicks... and BB all the way. Sidekick in a neat little novelty item, but no where near the corporate device that BB is...

Uh you are asking this question in a blackberry forum... ;-)

For me the BB is a given, SKII is cool if you like it, personal preference. For me it's a Blackberry

I always carry a digicam around with me anyways. I have no need for a camera phone wasting money and KB downloading/uploading pics.

[towski394]

Three words from a headline: Paris Hilton Hacked

7520 for me please.

Have you ever seen a SideKick in an indirect retailer (not a wireless carrier store) that was not already in two pieces?

[boywita]

well i have had the sidekick since they had the black and white model... and out off all the stuff that has happened to my sidekick my sidekick NEVER ended up in 2 pieces...

I too have had both SK's and they are very limited
BB = all the way
SK = :del:

Oh T-Mobile... I try them every year or two -- I've cancelled so many times with them, "Watson" won't let them activate me without the rep. calling Paris Hilton first or something.

ANYWAYS, I *tried* the Sidekick and Sidekick II but T-Mobile's coverage is horrible where I live and T-Mobile actually told me it was probably my house because their map said coverage was good in my area. My house is so inhibiting on T-Mobile services, I have to drive like 2 minutes away to get a signal.
