Has anyone had problem/problems with the SideKick Slider melting while connect to the charger? Mine did and T-Mobile won’t replace.

Ok Every Body is all pissed because microsoft has brought Danger but little do people really know that microsoft has 5 times the capability as Danger .
The sidekicks will not only have windows mobile but the phones will have better camera’s can people say 3.0 mega pixel an video camera also lets not forget the possibility of touch screen or also 3g ++++ Network.
Yes People are not ready for the sidekick to stop being as user friendly but the fact remains technology is changing an the sidekick is about to change with the times and I do believe it has the potential to kill the I phone .
I being a user of windows mobile and danger as well as knowing the mac system know that phones are about to woww people.
So folks dont be alarmed because it can only get better and if it is worse hey its ur money dont buy it…

its hard come out this day with a new phone especially when theres the iphone but if you take a phone like the sidekick which its great for texting, internet, and making phone call why not take it to the next level i mean people already know the sidekick they know all the thing that this phone can do. your are not intruducing a brand-new device, people know this phone all you got do its take to the next level. thats what i think microsoft its trying to do. i may be wrong but these are my thought. all of you have a great day and thank you!!

if you get a pc thats fast and is belt around vista then you learn to love it visualy and functionality it runs so fast and nice using xp now is like talking to a dirty old man. and as for the sidekick, microsoft will mix mobile 7 and danger os 4.6 and come out with a gaming phone/video phone/zune phone that you can get on your gamertag and talk to your friends when there on there xbox 360’s send them pics voice mall and it can hock up to your 360 ,send music to the sidekick from your zune through wifi i think they want to do some 3d games and head to head games if you have a sidekick then you know it has some really fun games and some of them you can play with other people with sidekicks anywhere no need for wifi like psp will see soon.

[...] Microsoft will now also apparently have a hand in the development of devices such as Side-Kick. This will of course have the effect of finally driving people from 2g to 2.5g and through into full 3g, which is perfect as our infrastructure greatly needs investment. We will consequently begin to run WiFi much more on devices, hopefully pushing the gradual jumps into the 700mhz blocks and encouraging both the blending of WiFi and Bluetooth and the development and growth of WiMAX.

On the sidekick side of things lets just hope they don’t make the sidekick into a windowsmobile. Dangers os is the way to go. Its UI is very friendly and easy to use. Oh and I hope there isn’t major change with the sidekicks due to this. just better apps and camera vid and minor tweaks to the OS maybe but not much at all that’ll make the kick steer away from what it really is.

I still don’t understand why they would buy Danger. Isn’t MS’s business based on creating software and working with hardware manufacturers to get their OS on those hardware products? Are the fundamentally changing their strategy?
