T-Mobile memo confirms T-Mobile Sidekick LX 2009 with 3G

There’s nothing better than finding a leaked internal document that confirms previous rumors. The latest rumor to get the confirmation-hammer dropped on its head is the speculation that T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) is preparing a 3G-capable Sidekick for 2009. An internal T-Mobile memo has been sent out to T-Mobile employees, notifying them to start preparing for the Sidekick LX 2009. The memo confirms what we’ve been waiting for – a new media-friendly Sidekick with full 3G support on T-Mobile AWS 3G network!
The new Sidekick LX 2009 will apparently keep with T-Mobile’s redundantly confusing naming convention. The most recent Sidekick 2008 had been confusingly launched as the “Sidekick,” and so T-Mobile will be releasing this 3G-capable Sidekick LX 2009 as the “Sidekick LX.” Why T-Mobile wouldn’t want to differentiate the new Sidekick LX from previous generations isn’t clear, but it’s sure to make for some muddled Google (NSDQ: GOOG) searches.
The T-Mobile Sidekick LX (2009) sports a 3.2-megapixel camera, GPS (Live Search), larger display, QWERTY keyboard and integrated support for YouTube, Facebook, MySpace and Twitter. Suffice it to say that the new generation of HipTop-wielding hipsters (sorry, couldn’t resist) will be surfing around all kinds of social networks and consuming all kinds of media. And, all over a 3G data connection, no less!
T-Mobile is expected to make an official announcement on April 17, so sit tight. We’ll know more tomorrow.
