T-Mobile might be pulling the Sidekick for security issues unless Danger makes some changes.

Something Cingular's Ogo might be nice, if it included a graphical webbrowser. Then again, that was an AWS product that Cingular might not keep (although dropping it seems like mistake, its a pretty nice text messaging device)

I would think that the ogo would fill a niche (kids, preteens, teens, and young adults 18-22 or so...). That seems like a pretty important demographic to me, unless Cingular doesn't see it as a means to swell their coffers. I don't see Verizon picking up on something like the ogo. I hope they do, however. It's pretty damn neat.

Or even adults that would just like a text messaging device, but don't need something as expensive and complex as a Blackberry.

I've had a chance to use an Ogo...and I really dug it. I'd much prefer something like that to a Blackberry. Too bad it has no voice capability...if I tried to text my folks they'd have their phones exorcised.
