I'd be interested in knowing the demographics of the people buying the Sidekick (primary user) after Paris Hilton's got hacked. I would speculate that it is a younger crowd, like high school and college age. They are the ones as a group that I believe are more likely to purchase something based on Paris Hilton having it and disregarding possible consequences. A co-worker ruled out the Sidekick because of the PH hack, but when he was making his purchase a teen was looking at them.
