Should you punt your SideKick?

G'day Everyone.

Pagers, Cell phones, and sidekicks. Every day we are connected by some provider services to handle our communication needs in the deaf community. However, there has been a quiet outrage in the deaf community that has built into anger at T-mobile and Microsoft over the loss of their useless sidekicks devices that have been malfunctioning for a while.
Here's the article: http://news.cnet.com/8301-13860_3-10375186-56.html . One should note that Jamie Berke is in this article.

Many of my friends are now questioning their T-mobile services. The longer the sidekicks malfunctions, the more users will consider dumping them for other communication devices. I hope Microsoft and T-mobile will get to work and fix their services asap, or else they will lose a wonderful support that they have had with the deaf community.

Whatever you choose for a communication device, do research, ask questions, and talk to current users of their devices. See how they like their devices.

Semper FI.

or they will be run out of business
with the lawsuits.
