...still a standard directional pad, but the right-hand now sports a trackball where it previously had an up-and-down dial. The result is much faster navigation. Along with a speedier processor and removable battery, the new Sidekick also has Bluetooth connectivity, so that you can use a wireless earpiece, which means simultaneously increased safety and coolness. The Sidekick is also smaller, but don't get too excited: it's still too chunky to fit comfortably in the front pocket of your jeans...
...This reassuring feeling only grew when I looked over the Sidekick monthly rates. A typical T-Mobile voice plan is 1,000 minutes for $40, adding $20 for unlimited e-mail, text messaging, web surfing and instant messaging. That's $60 per month, $25 per month cheaper than Verizon Wireless's starter plan for the Motorola Q. Sure, the Q has a sleek form and a very fast connection to the web.

The proliferation of Blackberrys, Treos, and most recently, Moto Qs, have made our umbilical cords wireless, feeding off our addiction to mother e-mail. But life before these blessed, though burdensome, conveniences did exist. Without daily doses of Dems-talk, Throp-talk, Newstalk, and innumerable other e-lists, it feels as though we would never be informed of campus’ most important (and, alas, unimportant...
