In reply to Andrew.

Well thanks anyway for the article.

Do you know of any modern devices that have the sidekick/hiptop form factor? I am in love with the design, especially the hiptop2; the orange logo, scroll wheel, lights, sounds, the wallpaper and the icons on the display, and the display mechanism.
The naming and branding is fun and unique too, i feel this hip style of mobile phone could of really been something if the other giants were absent…

what i’d do for a modernised hiptop2 running a customisable os similar to dangerOS, they are really something to look at. thanks again for images.

Hey, nice post there. I had almost forgotten about these. Myself had a 1 and a few 2 (one I broke closing my car’s hood; I had used the hiptop to provide lighting while topping up oil in my tercel. I had left it on a strut…)

Anyway – around the time of HT2, ICQ had kinda phased out to the profit of MSN Messenger. A friend of mine had built me a proxy, I’d receive all my MSN messages from a user, with the MSNID preceding text. (Sending texts just required me to start with the user’s msn id.) I guess we should have made that pulic 😉

Fun note: There’s one on display (at least there was 4 years ago) in Frankfurt’s telecommunications museum.

To this day, I still can’t fathom how this was wayyyy before its time (“cloud” like profile storage (I remember just putting in my username/pass in my HT2 and saw all my old stuff appear; avant-garde pricing for unlimited data, and functionality (SSH on a mobile device w/ full qwerty ! ) Don’t understand why they let themselves die.
