The 'hiptop,' marketed as the 'Sidekick,' and sold in the United States by T-Mobile, takes a whole new spin on connecting without wires.

Unlike most web-enabled phones, the Sidekick is not limited to the rare WAP site. A full fledged HTML browser makes it simple to access most sites. Of course, there is limited capability (such as no java support, and odd frame-site viewing), but for everyday use, most sites can be accessed.

Other features include an AOL Instant Messenger client (with full buddy list support, and even the famous door slams and opens). An integrated e-mail client with the ability to check up to 3 other POP accounts, not including the one you create for the device. Of course, it's also a phone!!

This whole article was written on a Sidekick using the integrated thumb-type keypad. Much easier than hitting numbers on a phone to type words. A whole list of features make this device an awesome buy, especially with plans starting at only 39.99 with unlimited data usage.
