T-Mobile Sidekick LX Specs

Besides the unfortunate bulky build, I must say, this was a very creatively built phone. It was unique to see a flip to access keyboard as well as a color changing track ball. My sidekick defiantly got the attention of many and got many compliments for its unique build and functionality. The camera isn't crazy amazing but it was allot better than most non smart phone cameras. The phone itself was fast and snappy and it got the job done. The keys were a tad stiff on the keyboard but it was bearable. The battery life lasted an acceptable amount of time. The overall display showed nice vivid colors as well as a large screen although it appeared to be too pixelated.

sidekicks are only good for the first few months they are used. they're made that way. the life expectancy for the charging port on every sidekick is about one year, and it just so happens that a new one with the same features and different design comes out every year and tmobile even sends out an email to all their tmail account (only sidekicks are able to use an @tmail other phones use @tmomail) stating a new sidekick and its time to upgrade. Finally to force all users to upgrade all work on the previous model is ceased and for those who dont upgrade they jack up the prices in the catalog.ex since the 09 came out 08 and lx owners have to pay $10 to record video for 50 sercondsalso for the 09 myspace is free but on the older models its and extra $5 a month.it even took them 4 sidekicks to finally make picture messagging an optionsidekick are marketed towards teens because they know we'll pay whatever they charge us to buy the newest model version. that way we stay locked in our contracts and theyll make money remaking the same phone over and over 

I wanted this phone when it came out and after a couple of months i switched to a blackberry. I would not recomend someone to buying this phone. When you drop the phone it always opens very fragile. I was expecting much better from t mobile but i guess they disapointed. The blackberry bold 9700 is real nice so at least i have that instead of the piece of garbage the sidekick is but the desighn is nice.
