Now some of us have been lucky enough to test out the Sidekick 3 - for instance, The Engadget Boys and Phone Scoop Gang - but even they could not have predicted the mad dash for the new Danger Hiptop, aka T-Mobile Sidekick 3.

One of these puppies just sold for a whopping $4050 on eBay. Not bad for a product that is soon to hit the market, and will be pushed hard by both T-Mobile, and Danger.

Didn't a piece of toast sell for 20,000 dollars?

Not only is it just a phone, it only works on the t-mobile network. Who paid this much money to never have service???

(nyc area ex-tmobile customer)

LOL I know my sister had T mobile and the service SUCKS. Thier plans seemed to good to be true and now I see why. She could get bars a lot of place outside and on the road. But her phone was very hard to get some good bars inside our house and many others. Lots of droped calls and I will never use T mobile again.

For my US cellular! I think they are the best network around at least in Wisconsin!

It had the face of jesus on it (or at least what everyone thinks jesus looks like).

I bet you the guy who bought it drop it and it broke in half.

the guy that bought it was Golden Palace casino, the largest online casino around.

because online casinos cant legaly advetise them selfs, GP bought this piece of toast for an insane amount of money, among many other things, so they could get around the advertiseing ban.

You're just helping their advertising campaign! Stop talking about them!

I hear tmobile is good if you're in the south. I also have a friend from the west coast who uses tmobile and is currently visiting nyc. He's already complaining about the service. Don't get them if you're around here.

And under no circumstances should you pay 4000 dollars for a phone

I'd rather buy a $2,000 car and transform it into a giant phone wit hthe rest of the money...man that would be kickass
