T-Mobile (NYSE: DT) may not have let loose the details (or at least not the nitty gritty details) of their T-Mobile Sidekick LX 2009, or rather the Sidekick LX, but that doesn’t mean we don’t already have the juicy down-low on the upcoming HipTop’s video capabilities. Thanks to a little tech-sleuthing by MobileCrunch, we now know that the T-Mobile Sidekick LX 2009 (we refuse to refer to it as the redundantly confusing Sidekick LX) will feature full video capabilities and a high-resolution display.
The Sidekick LX 2009 will apparently be capable of recording video in either 320×240 or 176×144 resolution, using the MP4 format. A 1GB microSD memory card should hold anywhere between 15.5 and 17 hours of video recordings. But, perhaps more importantly, the Sidekick LX 2009 will apparently do video playback with ease. We’re expecting the new Sidekick LX 2009 to improve on the original Sidekick LX’s video-playback by adding support for H.263, H.264, 3GPP and MPEG-4 video playback! Needless to say, the upcoming Sidekick LX 2009, which will be unveiled tomorrow in NYC, will be the media-powerhouse of the Sidekick lineup.
More, live from NYC, tomorrow!

I’m a tmobile customer and I was hoping there would a new version to the sidekick lx. The dream has come true and with the new upgrades its going to be a hit. I’ll be in line getting one.
I actually have the sidekick lx 09 and let me be one of the first to say its well worth it. The video and camera are beautiful. The sound is clearer and louder. And the 3g speed is what all sidekick fans have been waiting for.
Sklx09 sucks. The only video u can see on the web is youtube. Ugh. I wish I could dl windows media player that can play whatever you want and not be limited to only one site.
