     @dave That device was literally ahead of it's time. That's a sidekick, right?

     Sadly being too early is as bad as being too late.

     @dave Ouch. Okay, never mind.

     Sidekick was I think a far cry from that but simliar form factor...No stylus, full color screen, big screen for the time, third party app store built in. Inherently fully online for almost every feature.

     @tchambers Not a sidekick. That's an HTC Innovation. The worst part of it was the stylus (non capacative touch) which everyone would immediately lose within a day of purchase. But, hey, if you want a phone with Internet Explorer and Outlook built in, that's your boy.
