handhelds
I'm not sure if the Peek emailer is a great idea or a stupid one. Basically, the Peek is a stripped down handheld device with a QWERTY keyboard that does nothing but handle your email. The shaky logic behind the device is research that shows roughly 90% of email users are not checking their email on the go—but why they assume this group would forgo the cellphone they surely already have for yet another gadget is beyond me. Besides, the Peek is set to debut in Target on Sept 14th for $100 with T-Mobile service running $15 a month. That doesn't seem like a value to me.

Sidekick 2008/ Gekko Already Available on Craigslist
It won't make its official debut until July 30th, but if you just can't wait another 12 days to get your hands on one, it can be had right now on Craigslist. Why anyone would spend a premium amount of cash on a used test unit with the release less than two weeks away is beyond me, but I wouldn't be surprised if someone took the bait.

Sidekick 2008/Gekko Coming July 30th
Boy Genius has word that T-Mobile's Sidekick 2008 is coming out on July 30th. The phone has Sidekick like features, and a 2.6-inch WQVGA screen, A2DP stereo Bluetooth streaming and those interchangeable faceplates we've been hearing about. The phone's OS should feel appropriately aged but at the right price, as the Sidekick's always been a crowd-pleaser. I'm just not sure if that crowd is this crowd. [Boy Genius]

On TMO Doing 3G Voice Only...
BTW, you might have seen our post this morning about T-Mobile not having 3G data at launch. What I've learned from Wilson is that actually, updating networks with voice first and data later has happened in previous generations. There's history for this in pre-3G networks. (And EVDO based systems are, by nature, data only.) We're also hearing conflicting stories of rollout dates, by the way, varying between the 1st and a few days later. The point is, it makes sense that data will follow, so don't worry too much about this right now. You've waited this long for 3G data on TMO, what's a few more weeks/months/years? [TMO 3G]
