T-Mobile Sidekick II fanatics among us should head to Steven Frank's latest observations and read why the palmOne Treo 650 is more fun to use than the Sidekick.

So, as with any comparison of two phones, there are pros and cons. In this case, for me, so far, the pros seem to be far outweighing the cons. I am quite happy with my Treo after the first week, and I don't see myself returning it before Cingular's trial period expires. I feel almost sad (but not too sad) about leaving my Sidekick behind. I hope T-Mobile and Danger get their acts together, because it has so much unrealized potential. It's also important to note the price difference between the two phones -- about $250 for the Sidekick (with activation) vs about $450 for the Treo (with activation). So, I suppose you do get what you pay for.
