Review summary The T-Mobile Sidekick 3 brings some notable additions, such as Bluetooth and an MP3 player, and continues to be a solid messaging device for the younger crowd; we just wish it had a better screen. It may not be for heavy e-mail use, but the compact i500 is one of the most civil marriages of a phone and a PDA that we've seen to date. Sanyo's 5300 is an impressive step in phone evolution and a worthy competitor to other phone/camera hybrids. The Sony Ericsson P990i may be the perfect smart phone for tech-minded consumers, but its exorbitantly high price may put a lot of people off. The LG Decoy is an excellent phone on its own, but the addition of a built-in Bluetooth headset puts it over the top.
