T-Mobile Sidekick LX details leaked
T-Mobile, America’s sole purveyor of the Sidekick, begins taking pre-orders today for the new LX version of the well-liked, swivel-screen handset. Customers reserving a unit by the end of the month including through this T-Mobile address will receive theirs May 12 — one day before the device goes on sale to the general public. Service-provider improvements to the latest version of the Sidekick include 3G support on T-Mobile’s HSDPA network and better data-migration options for those switching from another T-Mobile handset. Inside, there’s new GPS functionality; integrated Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter support via Skick-customized applications, including the ability to directly upload photos from the camera (now shooting at 3.2 megapixels) to MySpace and video to other social-networking sites; ShoutCast streaming-radio and YouTube video support; upcoming support for Microsot Exchange; and a 3.2″ F-WVGA screen with 854×480 resolution.

In addition to being the thinnest Sidekick, the Sidekick LX 2009 also boasts the largest and sharpest screen to date. Based on Sharp’s Aquos technology, the WVGA display measures 3.2 inches with an 854×480-pixel resolution and swivels open to reveal the full QWERTY keyboard. The screen was indeed sharp and bright, and we’ve always been a fan of the Sidekick’s keyboard. There’s good spacing between the buttons and the quality feels better on the Sidekick LX. Other highlights include a 3.5mm headphone jack, a microSD expansion slot (phone ships with a 1GB microSD card), and mood/notification LEDs along the top edge of the screen.

Yet another phone that will be obsolete in a couple of months…Come and get it suckers! lol What a waste of time. People seem to have forgotten what a MOBILE is really for…
For some strange reason it reminds me of the Atari Lynx… o_0
@billybob: And we all know what happened with that lol
nope. reminds me of a nokia 5110
does not succeed without wifi! tmobile has been producing this phone for years and have always underachieved. this phone couldve been the game changer. if it had wifi, and a touch screen, it would be a competitor with the iphone.
