Interested in the Hiptop/SK 2.

From Toronto, and I've been interested in the Hiptop for some time now. The unlimited data is probably the most convincing aspect of it all. I'd go for the Hiptop 3 but it's not available here and possibly never will be but I think it'll be here soon. Anyways, I just want some opinions on the Hiptop 2.

Are their any differences besides the name (Hiptop and Sidekick)? Is the HT 2 that much worse then the 3? Internet wise, what kind of site can you go to? Is it a decent phone? If anyone can also guide me to some pics and videos of amateur HT 2's that would be awesome too, I want to see it in the real world, not set up for the best conditions. So any info and help is appreciated.

1. Models are dependent on what features the carriers mandate. For example, with the latest software update the ht2 has MMS which the SK2 does not, while the SK2 has Yahoo! IM which the ht2 does not.
2. The ht2 can't handle AJAX pages or (surprisingly) WAP sites written in WML.
3. Yes.

Those are the only questions I can answer... Hope that helps!

Yes, the Sidekick2 is the branded version of the HT2. And each carrier has its own features. So what you see on a Suncom HT2 might not be on the SK2.

Where did you hear that. The HT2 Is a great device, for its time. SK3 is like vista. All it has is a face lift.

Anything really. But no flash or java sites. You can not stream any music or videos.
