When I bought my Sidekick (see www.danger.com), I thought it was the coolest device ever. I liked the thumb typing, email was a piece of cake, and AIM worked great. Also, the unlimited data + 200 minutes plan from T-MO was awesome. (My only complaint was that an SDK hadn't been released so there were absolutely NO 3rd party apps available, thought that is changing now.)

Now that I have my p800, my SK is collecting dust and I'm getting ready to dump it. Are there other p800/Sidekick owners out there pondering the same issues?

I considered the two and opted for the Sidekick. It all came down to economics for me:

Free device plus unlimited data for $40US per month.
It has suited my needs well. Sure, the P800 does more, but at what cost?!?

I use it mainly for email and mobile html surfing, two tasks which it handles extremely well. Even though I have never had a P800, I would venture to say that the email client on the Sidekick is probably better implemented since it pushes mail to the device in real time.
