Video: Sidekick LX Review

Stefan Constantinescu

Stefan Constantinescu (@WhatTheBit on Twitter) has loved technology since as far back as he can remember. It started with computers, but in the past few years his passion has turned to mobile devices. As a mobile phone enthusiast who lives and breathes devices that connect to the internet, he knows he is not alone with this radical fascination of all things wireless. He is strongly opinionated and enjoys a good debate so leave comments in his posts and he’ll get back to you! Stefan began blogging as a hobby in the fall of 2006 and joined IntoMobile in the summer of 2007. Later he got a job at Nokia in March 2008, but as of June 2009 he has rejoined the IntoMobile team. He is currently based out of Helsinki, Finland.

  Yes the tmobile sidekick LX is behind
  while every company is making phones wiht touch screens they are adding moodlights
  even though i think thats pretty cool and the new screen is pretty sweet
  i sort of think that a sidekick with a touchscreen would be pretty cool or that tmobile should make a phone with a touch screen becasue thats what i really want
  touch screen, aim, full html browser, 3G, myspace, picture messaging and video and regular text, and possibly a keyboard?
  and it would have to be pretty thin…
  idk to me that would be my favorite phone

• yea

  @ joe

  you are right the sidekicks are pretty much always behind technology but they are great phones. i my self have the lx. i think tmobile does have a phone with a touch screen the t-mobile wing. the sidekick lx has everthing you listed except for a touch screen, 3G (as with all tmobile phones), and video.

  I have the LX and I want to know if you can get videos on your phone and if you can how.

  Well yea .. Sidekick lx should have a better camera and video recording and playback.. A touch screen.. Wifi access and 3g..a louder speaker.. Stereo bluetooth…and still have the cool features that it already has.. And maybe add a fm\am radio..and a capability to view videos on you tube.. And also the capability to get downloads of the web… and that would be the best phone… o o o and hologram videos … o o o video phone… weew that will be the best phone ever made…

  WEN THE VIDEOS CUMN FOR THE LX CUX I WANT THE VIDEOS NOW IT SUKS WITH OUT THE VIDEOS PLZZ HOW YALL DOO IT I WANNA KNO ND I STAY IN FLORIDA

  The sidekick Lx and up does have Video now thanks to the OTA update. Its pretty sweet. The reason Sidekick Lx is not touch screen and my guess is they never will, is because you don’t need it. If you have ever used the sidekick it has the most user friendly interfaces available. Every application takes you no time to get there do what you have to do and close your phone. People are usually amazed at how fast I respond to something on the phone. I believe touchscreen would complicate it and make it more difficult, its just unpractical. I’ve had every sidekick to date, And yes they take there time trust me. But if people tried the sidekick for a week they would love them. Support for the device is great also.
  God Bless
