Thanks to the folks at Danger and T-Mobile for getting me my new bestest gadget, the Sidekick II

I have been a long time user of Sidekick I, but II just kicks its ass.

The design is simpler, the phone is better, the camera works like a real camera and the email and web browser are faster than before. I love it.

To all you corporo types out there that like the Blackberry, you have no idea what productivity is like [OE]till you play with one of these bad-boys.

The keyboard is something that works for any fat fingered typist. The screen has colors and I don[base ']t go blind staring at it, but my fave feature is the fact that I can store a ton of my email right on the device in different folders.

I live off of email. I check my email 20 x for every time I check voicemail. My productivity comes from being able to respond how and in as much depth to any of the more than 1k I get every day. The II, lets me do that anywhere. The keyboard is big enough that I can type at almost desktop speeds.

It also allows me to use the email storage ability as a realtime tickler. Emails that I need to respond to get put into the Important folder and I[base ']m off to work. If I fall behind, unlike other devices, where I have to resync, or go back to my main PC, the II stores 8mb of emails so as long as I[base ']m not away too long, my work is there waiting for me.

It[base ']s all about using my time where and how I want, and the II lets me do both.

Five Stars on my new productivity ranking list that I just invented for this blog :)
