    Any comments on this phone? Looks decent, but never heard of this brand though. Is it just me?

    finally. I don't have to type in the address because I have all the addresses in my contacts. Why didn't they think of this before?

    Sorry for the ignorance here, but does this work with any carrier? Just insert your SIM card? I read through the info on the Dell site and it didn't provide anything useful.

    It's still not an iPhone. You will be looked down upon. Deservedly so.

    sinm card you can go with at& t or t-mobile for sure not sure about sprint.. maybe a pay -as- go idk.

    It's only compatible with AT&T and T-Mobile. No Sprint or Verizon...

    Nice price, but as expected the specs are a litle lacking:

    Processor: TI, OMAP 850, 200MHz same as the T-Mobile Shadow
    USB 1.1 full speed, mini USB
    Talk time: up to 4 hours; 200 hours of standby (reality would be lower)

    Windows CE is the suck

    #7, once you have your brains pulled out through your nose, the Pharos will work fine with any carrier

    Here is a link but I'm not sure it's the same product.

    And, here is detailed specs.

    I've never used this device but that processor sounds about the same speed as the one in the original Blackjack, which I am familiar with. The processor in the Blackjack is barely suitable for the Blackjack without tracking events from a touch screen. I bet this thing is sluggish with all the demands on such a slow processor.

    Good joke, #9. You nearly fooled me.

    Pharos makes great GPS gear. Don't know anything about their phones, though. I agree with the comment about the SideKick's slow processor.
