T-Mobile Sidekick 3
The T-Mobile Sidekick 3 offers all the features you would expect from a business PDA or BlackBerry (Email, Web Browsing, IM, etc..) without the corporate image. In fact the Sidekick 3 is more of a "celeb" PDA with appearances on the O.C., The Devil Wears Prada, MTV, several music videos and at one time its official spokesperson was Paris Hilton. Whether that all puts you off or not, the Sidekick 3 is a funky phone and portable messaging device with style.

Apple iPhone
The most talked about device this week must be the iPhone from Apple - an iPod, Phone, Web and Email device in one. It might sound like just another PDA but Apple being Apple will have added a few tricks and spins on the idea with a revolutionary one finger navigation touch screen (no stylus), proximity, light and orientation sensors, OS X, Safari browser, Widgets, etc... all encased in shiny, minimalist Apple style. Expect the phone to be launched end of the year in the UK, possibly exclusively to one network. We will keep you up to date with any new developments here and let you know as soon as it is available to buy.
