I was wondering which phone would you recommend that has the following?
- AIM
- Pop3 email
- browser
- camera
- keyboard
- and works with Tmobile?
I was thinking of the Sidekick 2 but was wondering if there is any other phones out there with these functions?

Depends on which country you are as the RIM Blackberry springs to mind. It doesn't have a camera but has all the other features.

The RIM BB hardly has the features of the sidekick. While similar (perhaps) on paper, they are quiet different.
I have had the Sk for years (day1) and have found only a few have come close to offering a similar experience.
One being the Moto A630 and the other (to a lesser extent) the N3300. I owned a proprietary N3300 and it had features excluded from the public release. Features that would have catapulted it into CSK territory. This is why I dotn recommend Nokia anymore, but thats another story for another thread.
I also have a Treo600 which is very nice. And, although it dosnt multitask (much at all) its still a good multi-media experience.
The only phones I use are communicator type, becuase I feel they provide the best "away form home" experience for web and connectivity.
IM my opinion your choices are slim:
CSKII
Moto A630 (confirmed for Tmo in Sept, works great with a Zire72, and T2)
Nokia 3300. Although outdated, it does have nice MM cababilities and a KB.
Treo 600. Biggest investment, but you have the most apps avail with the Palm OS.
N6820. Like the N3300 but with BT and a CIF camera, nothign special but a nice addition. No MP3 player player or FM though, like the N3300 has.
Anymore questions, feel free to PM me or ask here. Also, I have comparison photos with the CSK and the N3300 up on my forum www.godmode.com
Thanks.

Moto A630 is definitely looking good! So the A630 will work with Tmobile and is coming out in September?
I just read this is PC MAgazine review: No HTML browser or full e-mail client Is that true? So i guess sidekick2 has something better than the A630.. but i definitely like the A630 design over the sk2
