  Sidekick LX for T-Mobile - Should you get it or not?
Review created: 10/23/07
90 of 95 people found this review helpful.

Just got my Sidekick LX today, and here is the scoop:

The good: The T-Mobile Sidekick LX has the best display of any Sidekick yet. It is 3 inches wide and has a resolution of 400 x 240 pixels. The Sidekick LX is the first Sidekick yet that is MMS compatible... at least on the T-Mobile network. T-Mobile removed MMS from all the other sidekicks. It also offers Bluetooth, MySpace Mobile integration, and a much improved 1.3-megapixel camera with a very strong flash to provide the best picture quality of any sidekick yet.

The bad: The Sidekick LX's camera, although good at picture taking, doesn't record video and there's no integrated Wi-Fi. The phone's speaker is on the weaker side, and there's no A2DP Bluetooth support. The battery is also rather weak, much in the same way the Sidekick 3's battery was.

Sidekick LX: Talk: 6.8 hours (408 minutes)
Standby: 96 hours (4 days)

Sidekick 3: Talk: 4.5 hours (270 minutes)
Standby: 72 hours (3 days)

Overall, I would recommend this phone for anyone who likes to text or e-mail a lot. For anyone who loves recording or watching videos, this is not the phone for you.

  Excellent & Well Done Revamping on T-Mobile Sidekick LX
Review created: 12/07/07(updated 12/07/07)
20 of 21 people found this review helpful.

As a loyal owner of many models of the Sidekick Dynasty, I have suffered (albeit joyously) through various stages of metamorphosis--from awkwardly bulky housing, nonprogrammable sound profiles, to not-quite-what-it-could-be interfaces. It seems, however, that Sidekick has finally come into its own in the newest and most improved Sidekick LX from T-Mobile.

The list of heralded improvements starts with the slim and sleek, even thinner than before design, which looks and feels similar to the famously thin RAZR by Motorola. Available in espresso brown or midnight blue, the housing is shiny, smooth like glass, and features a leather-like backing to the battery compartment. The brilliant high-resolution screen is now three inches wide and crisper, brighter than ever, even when kept at "low" brightness level, which conserves battery life.
The LX boasts new blue "mood lights" located at each of the four corners, which can be customized to suit different message/text/IM/email alerts. The mood lights and track ball light up whenever the user receives a call/IM/text/email.

For anyone who has owned or operated a Blackberry interface, users may be pleasantly familiar with the LX OS, as it is somewhat similar. The email application is effortless, reminiscent of Mozilla Firefox's easy tab configuration and those who are upgrading from the Sidekick 3, will find their settings, email accounts and nearly every setting from their Sidekick 3 already conveniently configured on the LX. New customizable options include font size, as well as backgrounds and complete sound-infused themes.

As for games, say "bye bye" to Rocket Blaster and "Heeellllo" to Bob's Journey: TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH! This popular game comes pre-loaded!

And now, for the creme de la creme...
I have saved the two best features of the new Sidekick LX for last.
For users who are Myspace addicts, a completely user-friendly and super convenient Myspace application is available for download in the catalog! While the application itself is free to download, users will have to agree to a nominal monthly fee until the application is discarded. In the Myspace application, users will enjoy "online now!" status, up to the minute photo/profile comment alerts, mail/blog subscription post/comments/friend request alerts, as well as instant picture upload straight from the LX to their Myspace profile! Myspace alert sounds are customizable as well.

And finally...*drum roll, please*
The feature many have been waiting so patiently for...
For the first time on a Sidekick, users are now able to send Picture Messages/(MMS)!!!!!!! No longer will users have to email pictures to a long numerical phone number email address, no more are the days of being outside the MMS loop. Rejoice! Picture Messaging has arrived!


All in all, I couldn't be happier with the extremely well done revamping on T-Mobile's Sidekick line, and have rated it a definite, no-doubt "excellent."

  sidekick lx great condition
Review created: 08/14/08
by:

My cousin was looking for this exact phone, but could not afford the price tag at the stores. It was in excellent condition, and just what he wanted. It's great with texting, phone book is awesome, downloading is a snap. Could not go wrong for the price and can even get a great warranty with square trade, better than the insurance offers.

Hi, I am so sorry, this is a mistake, I received your money order
in the mail after I had already sold this phone to another
customer. I had sent you a few emails asking if you were going
to send payment and when I didn't hear back, I relisted it and
sold it. Your emails must have gone to my bulk mail account.
Since you sent me a money order addressed to me, I had to cash
it, or you wouldn't have been able to get the money back. I am
putting a check in the mail tomorrow to you for the full amount,
and I am really sorry about this misunderstanding

The phone is great and realy user friendly
the not so good parts are:

* internet is sloooooooow
* most sidekicks have no video capability or tv acces. I called T Mobile about it and they said that the company is working on a upgrade of their system but don't know when it'll happen.
* My husband has another wireless provider and their internet is faster, they offer tv access and is cheaper.

  Bought 2 tmobile sidekick LX
Review created: 08/05/08

1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

Bought 2 tmobile sidekick Lx phones for my 2 sons. One came as described with accessories described, holder, instruction manual, charger. The seller communicated well, letting me know when they would ship and when to expect so I could arrange to be home to receive.

The other did not work well. Had a problem with sim chip reader which caused the phone to not know it's number, and be unuseable. This was occured periodically, but did not work more than it did work. Seller advertised came with holster, that it did not have. Also stated on web site would ship same day, but did not ship for 4-5 days. Seller did not respond after I received phone and it did not work.

Just take 2 minutes and read this. This is very EASY to do! It literally takes 10 minutes to setup. Simply follow the steps below. I promise you, this is 100% real. I wouldn't jeopardize my EBay account status if this was a scam. My feedback is real and I will answer you on any question! Here is what you do. Click on the link below, register, pick an account type (referral is the easiest) and complete just 1 offer (Very important that you complete the 1 offer otherwise your account will sit in limbo until you do).This is not like other sites where you need to complete one offer on 2 or 3 different pages!!! And a lot of these offers are FREE trials with nothing else to buy...No commitments!!!

There are plenty of cool offers to choose from such as Blockbuster online, Stamp.com, Netflix, Gamefly which are services you would regularly sign up for anyways and their all secure networks, why not use them to get a free PS3 System or cash (I did the Stamps.com for a 30 day free trial and it never cost me a penny and I received credit for it the same day). Look at the offers and choose the one that works for you. After signing up and completing your one offer, simply refer 8-13 people (depending on the FREE prize you choose) to do the same under your link (just post the same thing as I have on eBay, and you'll get your referrals before the auction even ends.)

Then they will ship your Free gift or your selected item for free; No Joke, 100% REAL!!! The reason these companies make money, is because most people don't bother getting all the referrals. All you have to do is post it on EBAY! They use us as advertisement by word of mouth which saves them tons of money which goes toward yours and my free gift. These are legit companies such as Blockbuster, Netflix, Gamefly etc... You can copy my listing if you want. You must use your own authentic link though. You will get your own personal link after your orders placed.

Step 1: Click this link:

ad).

Step 4: Receive your gift(s) for FREE!!!!!!!!!! (Even The Shipping
Is Free!!!)

  coupon for sidekick
Review created: 07/07/08
by:

I decided to get a tmobile sidekick because all i really wanted was text messaging a web browser and a cheap calling plan, with my fave 5, i make unlimited calls to 5 people and i also have unlimited data services thru tmobile with sidekick plan cheaper than paying for a normal fun with internet. with the coupon i got my phone for free, and it was worth the extra 5 dollars. It would have cost me 200 just for the phone... I wish I had more bars in certain areas, but i think the sound quality and service of tmobile is just as good as any other service, and the sidekick is an awesome phone.

  T-Mobile Sidekick LX Review
Review created: 07/02/08
by:
1 of 2 people found this review helpful.

After recently acquiring the T-mobile Sidekick LX I have to say I am very impressed on many of its features. Not only does it look sleek but it will have people eyeing it as they walk past.

Features: The Sidekick LX comes with a 1.3 megapixel camera, 128mb MiniSD card, USB, Wall and car charger, 2 cases and ear phones. The applications include email, sms/mms, internet, games, mp3 player, aol/windows live/yahoo messenger, to do list, calendar and notes.

Good: The Sidekick LX has a gorgeous 3 inch screen with 65k colours which is great for internet browsing. Like most sidekicks the aol/windows live/yahoo messenger services are top notch and the operating system looks great and is easy to use. The full QWERTY keyboard is spaced out and the buttons are comfortable, the track ball on the side is also very useful. The Sidekick LX has a smooth finish on the top and as for the back it is rough and grippy.

Needs Improving: The camera is only 1.3 megapixels and only takes ‘ok’ pictures in brightly lit rooms, it also does not take video. You cannot put your own ringtones, games and applications on Sidekick LX without paying for them from the download catalogue. The speaker is not very clear and many simple applications are not found on the Sidekick LX such as an alarm clock and a video player.

Despite lacking many basic features the Sidekick LX still manages to look great, have excellent email and text and a simple yet eye catching OS. I would recommend this to teenagers/young adults who prefer texting and emailing over media based applications.

It should have read that you had to get a new line to get it for free. It was a wast of my money. I wanted to get a phone for a discount price and when I called they said today is the last day to get the phone and I had to add another line to my plan.
