I just got a side kick, this thing is cool

What is a side kick? Assuming you're not typing on Robin's bum, of course.

It's a cell phone w/built in IM/Web Browser and a nifty keyboard to do it on.. If you ever saw the commercials where "Snoop Dog" was asking when to add fabric softener, or how to tell if a melon was ripe they were using Sidekicks..

eGo

yes, what ego said. Very cool toy
