A secure backend and ease of management, security and administration is what is against this device, which is a retail consumer godsend yet an IT Department nightmare.

By the way, Blackberry has had message saving capability on it for years. There is no necessity to sync at the desktop, it is wireless.

The blackberry has to sync to get contacts, so ya it is necissary to to sync. The sidekick II doesnt have secured connection because the average danger user doesnt need it, why jack up the price for something you dont really need? Ya, like every device it has its short commings but danger takes a big leap ahead with this phone. I had the 270, blackberry,600 and IPAQ and the II passes them all. Yes the IPAQ does offer more connection types, but look at the size, you have to use the bluetooth headset just to keep your arm from falling off from holding it for so long. And the IPAQ no matter how badass it is, is grossly over priced, it does not switch to wi fi automaticly you have to activate it from your connection page. The camera quality leaves alot to look for (II is the first handheld with a flash for the camera). IPAQ is not moving as fast as t mobile predicted and they are baffled as to why. Well i’ll tell you right now why. Its not user friendly. Danger has done countless hours of trials to get thier programing user friendly. When im sitting for 90 minutes with a customer showing them how to work an ipaq i just want to point at the picture of the II and tell them to wait. I personally am getting it, full price…that tells you something when a rep is paying full price on a phone that i could get 60% off on if i waited 2 months.

The very first one only lasted 2 days. The current Sidekick that I have, has been around since March. Regardless of any issues I have had, I just don’t think there is another device out there that is so user-friendly and let’s face it, fun. It is always a conversational peice and since I am in the technology industry it adds a litte “kick” to my first impression. Our company also uses Nokia Access Mobilizer which converts the data to be viewable in any phone web browser better than the native formatting. NAM allows us to check our email, contacts, calendar, and utilize improved web browsing. As we have all experienced with web phones, not all websites are readable. That answers any limitations that the current device has. It isn’t push technology, though. You do have to log in to a secure web-site behind the firewall and I recommend 2-factor authentication of some sort like a token or key fob.
I cannot wait to get a Sidekick II, though. It looks a lot more streamlined and smaller. My phone might actually fit into my purse in the future.

Also, the point that I was making is that there is a need in each infrastructure to secure the data that is passing through these devices and to be able to deploy and manage them effectively. You are concentrating on end-user, retail friendly features in comparing these products, which is not the way IT Departments, such as mine, qualify if a device is good to go within our system. Cameras and stuff like that are not what the average business user wants or cares about.

Also, while you quote the lack of sales for the IPAQ, that does not reflect against the Blackberry, which are selling in the hundred thousands.

Each has their own advantages and disadvantages.
Personally. I have to have the functionality that is associated with pocket pcs.. i need excel, ppt’s, media player, word application etc.. OF all the carrier offers. I STILL havent really found a Pocket PC offered by any of the carriers that can truly utilize of my needs.. They may have all the afore mentioned things.. but show me one from a carrier that has wifi.. of course they wont have it.. it wouldnt make them money if they did.. So im still tied to “separate tools”.. a pocket pc.. and a phone..

Tmobile, has a partnered with HP to develop
iPAQ h6315 which is supposed to have wifi capabilities… now thats a pretty kick butt device.. wish it was on another provider though.
but thumbs up for creativity

This is Ap (‘CARPE DIEM’) from your previous blog entries for the “Benefactor.” I’m the guy with weblink to my personal audition video from the April-03 casting calls in Dallas, TX.

———————————————–

Unfortunately, most of the readers from the above comments do not know the history on this particular product. I myself do not own one (yet) only because I knew that I wanted to wait for the upgraded, color display version. I actually read up on the Sidekick back a few years ago (before S1 was released) and its founder, and knew then the guy was a genious. He termed the product by the nickname “HIPTOP” then, which it still it may be referred to today. I beleive his original design from the beginning was everything that you mentioned, but where he got kudos was on integration. The plan was to outdue the typical PDA, cell phone, etc. by allowing his device to be ‘upgradable’ with downloadable software. This means you would never have to throw away your dated device just to gain new features of what’s latest and greatest. Not sure if he and the folks at “Danger” ever accomplished that but you can see his headstart has and will payoff. Especially with corporo types like you and me. Once the Sidekcick converges with IP, MPLS, SIP technology, the sky will be the limit (streaming video, etc). I’m going out to by one today. Can’t wait to see the show next week.

(FYI – I work for one of the largest telecom giants in the world)

As I build my website, more and more I receive emails of all kinds. I can see soon enough I too will be caught in the web of the Mother of all leashes…The wireless communication device.
