I was noodling around a bit on eBay as a result of a conversation with firesign3000 and I was looking at Sidekick prices. I originally bought a color Sidekick, used from eBay, in January 2005 for about $130. That same phone is currently selling for about $50 on eBay; I still have my old one but the scroll wheel doesn’t work so I’m keeping it as a backup rather than selling it for cash. In February 2006 I went back under contract with T-Mobile (I’d been out of contract since Sept 2003) and upgraded to a Sidekick II for about $130. Now I find they are on eBay for about that price…because the Sidekick 3 has just come out. So if I’d waited, I could have scored the same phone for the same price without going back under contract - but estimates for when the SK3 would be released ranged from Thanksgiving 2005 to Holiday 2006 so there was no telling, really. The SK3 is on eBay too, of course, for between $300-400. That might work out for a friend of mine who has Pay-As-You-Go for his Sidekick II…he could buy the SK3 on eBay and then sell his SK2 there and only end up spending about $200-250 for the new device. I don’t think he will, but he could.
