FONTS ARE TOO SMALL!!!! BLACKBERRY HAVE DIFFERENT SIZES OF FONTS! WHY AREN'T SIDEKICK II INCLUDED? SO MANY OF MY DEAF FREINDS DEPEND ON FONT SIZE TO MUCH BIGGER THAN WHAT SIDEKICK OFFERED.

So I would like to know when will it come out and How much would it costs, also I would like it if you can offer me a lowest price at possible it can.. thanks, Matthew Hello, I like to know that the Sidekick II is better than the old ones because I get the feeling that the previous sidekick breaks down alot and disconnects alot, but the designer may change all that to a possible better, reliable technology, if I’m correct..

It is alot like the old one. Seems of better quality. The camera sucks, but kinda exepcted that. Phone worked well with good reception and email loaded fast. Was told price will be @299.99, but current users will get big discount. I had the chance to use a SK2 today. It is alot like the old one. Seems of better quality.
