Just got my Sidekick LX today, and here is the scoop: The good: The T-Mobile Sidekick LX has the best display of any Sidekick yet. It is 3 inches wide and has a resolution of 400 x 240 pixels. The Sidekick LX is the first Sidekick yet that is MMS compatible... at least on the T-Mobile network. T-Mobile removed MMS from all the other sidekicks. It also offers Bluetooth, MySpace Mobile integration, and a much improved 1.3-megapixel camera with a very strong flash to provide the best picture quality of any sidekick yet. The bad: The Sidekick LX's camera, although good at picture taking, doesn't record video and there's no integrated Wi-Fi. The phone's speaker is on the weaker side, and there's no A2DP Bluetooth support. The battery is also rather weak, much in the same way the Sidekick 3's battery was. Sidekick LX: Talk: 6.8 hours (408 minutes) Standby: 96 hours (4 days) Sidekick 3: Talk: 4.5 hours (270 minutes) Standby: 72 hours (3 days) Overall, I would recommend this phone for anyone who likes to text or e-mail a lot. For anyone who loves recording or watching videos, this is not the phone for you. If this review helped you at all, please click "Yes" below. Thanks!Read full review
i like the fact that it has full keyboard, internet access, and is easy to use. i do not like how it is sometime dificult to get the maganets to lock on the screen so it will close. extras include customieable shells and background, theme, & screen savers. fun phone. my husband has g1 (android phone) the side kick is nothing like it. the g1 (also tmobile) is more of a grown ups phone/toy, and the sidekick is more for the younger generation. hope this helps in choosing the right phone for you.
**Pro's** super sleek great look functional apps fun to use 3G network Email Text/picture message MP3 music player Facebook/Myspace/Instant messangers/Twitter Large variety of emoticons and "special characters" Swivel Screen Place for phone charms/wrist straps! High quality loud speaker Fully customizable Sidekick (dot) com has create-your-own skins and shells **CONS** Large phone. This is not something you can just slip into your back pocket and go. T-Mobile service only. Of course, this is T-mobile's pride and joy, but the service isn't too great. You can't use your own pictures and change the background (there are sites to create your own themes, and you can use whatever picture you want) You can't select an mp3 from the music library and set it to your ringtone (you can cut your own ringtones with programs and send them to the phone via e-mail or text message.) There ARE ways around these but it is a bit of a nuisance as it does not always work. The Pro's definitely outweigh the cons. It is a somewhat hefty phone but to me, the bulk of it makes it seem that much more sturdy. With a full support team at T-mobile (611 from your t-mobile phone), all of the fun apps and neat ways to customize your sidekick lx 09, I'd recommend this phone to anyone!Read full review
The phone itself is great, but there is only one reason why you shouldn't get it if you use T-mobile... T-mobile recently changed their contract for sidekicks and they have determined that sidekicks don't receive any data access plans(meaning no web access, no instant messaging, no email, no GPS, and other useful sidekick functions that are now fully disabled by T-mobile. So let's give T-mobile around of applause and also to all the people who are hustlin sidekicks these days. AT&T doesn't just run off of the wireless service, if you used a jail-broken sidekick, everything should work properly. Any who, my sidekick is only used for music, phone and text...period. Good phone, but is limited, i learned the hard way so i suggest whoever is getting a phone online... go to your wireless provider's website and look at what phones work with the service plans.Read full review
, ok I bough tthis phone as a back up, the phone itself works fine, the messagiung features needs work, they do not display individual conversations, there is just a big list. the web browser is a joke, you would need to get opera mini instead for a better online experiance, the connectiviy to the internet is not that slow but it could be faster, coupled by the fact that this phoine does not have wifi or 3g makes the browsing the internet less than fun. the cable that connects the screen to the phone wears out and in my opinion should have been addressed in earlier models however it still wears out and is very common...the phone is smaller than an lx and the screen is where you feel it.. the screen size on the lx is bigger , but this one came with an app for facebook, not sure if I can download apps or not but , if they gutted this phone, added a much larger touch screen, have it slide out instead of flip out and turned it into an adroid platform phone, gave it some internal memory upgradeable to 60 gig , added wifi and 3g, put a 2300mah batter (something no one else does on messaging phones or pda's it would be a force to be recconed with..Read full review
