Color Sidekick

Looks like Mike is excited about the forthcoming Sidekick with the color screen. (Here's the cnet revew he blogged.) I echo their comment:

We just wish that T-Mobile would hurry up and enable the device to sync with Microsoft Outlook and other PIMs.

I went with the Treo because I didn't want to have to go to the pain of regular exporting and importing of calendar and contact info. But boy, I am enjoying it! Although I didn't catch up with Lou and friends at the DC happy hour last week (I arrived after the festivities were over), it was really cool to be sitting on Connecticut Ave. and looking up the address for the bar on bloug :).

Speaking of which, Lou's got an interesting entry there now titled UX Bumpage. (Maybe I'm listening to too much Howard Stern, but when I first read that title, I parsed that as Bum-page, not Bump-age!). The comments are already flying...check it out.

Comments

is color on a pda really necessary or is it just a nice to have feature. I am perfectly comfortable with a black and white or grey contrast/color scheme.

What is your preference?

For my needs, color is not at all necessary, and had the Treo 180 been available, I would have gotten it.
