i cooked up a neat how-to for this month's popular science magazine, how-to get new apps on your otherwise locked up sidekick. rss readers, other messaging clients, movie time apps. the world is yours mang! well, after you sign up for an unlock key, download the sdk, load the apps...

10. alright check it out the u hit the menu>shift>s and tracer screen pops up den press menu and go through the list and mess around with the programs and the tracers and after that you will come across the java script. once you turn off the java error u can play games. wat i don't understand is why t-mobile and hip top never told any one about this. and thanks for the props.

12. I did the jumpbutton+shift+s and then menu again and a menu popped up and it had "other debug tools" in it, when i select that it has java messages only. select that and theres a list of stuff in there but I don't know what it's for and I can't change anything in it. What exactly do we do to unlock java?

20. There's a way to run a diagnostic program on the sideckick II. Go to menu-sytem info-and press menu+shift+D. The diagnostics checklist will appear and you could either run all of them or individual.
