Sidekick or Treo

I'm trying to deceide between getting a Sidekick 3, or waiting for the Treo 755P to come out. I'd rather have Windows Mobile over the Palm OS, but a voice plan and unlimited data on Cingular will be almost $100 a month and I don't want to pay that much, whereas on Sprint it will only be $10 more than a sidekick.

The sidekick does everything I need it to do, it's cheaper, the battery is longer, the keyboard is better, and I think the operating system is more stable from everything that I've read. On the other hand, the internet on the Treo is faster, it can record/play video, it has a touch screen which is nice, and it has a lot more features that I like.

So what do you guys think?
 
I havent used the new treo but I had the 650 and the sidekick 3. Let me tell you the sidekick sucks, IMO. The call quality and reception is much better on the treo. The sidekick has a nicer keyboard but thats about it. The Treo can do all the things the sidekick can do and more. you can add many 3rd party apps for the Treo, many of which are free. If you get the sidekick i hope you are using it just for data and have another phone to talk on.
 
The Treo is the only way to go. The SideKick cannot be unlocked, has no touchscreen, is bigger and heavier than the Treo, and the sound quality (mic or speaker) isn't up to par with the Treo.
