Yeah, right. The Sidekick LX2009 blows the G1 out of the water. The only downsides are that it has no Relay Downloads upon release because I’m told that since the LX2009 is a completely redesigned model with 5th version of Danger OS, the developer needs time to design the program and test that to make sure it works with the newer version before releasing. The other downside is the charging can heat up a battery a bit. I had that problem when I was using it in a hot day with traffic jam on the interstate. Combine all that, and the battery icon turned into a red thermostat icon. It can be fixed by soft reset and stay off the charger until the battery reaches 50%-60% capacity. I’ve been a owner of Sidekick 1, Sidekick II, Sidekick 3 and now a LX2009. Danger and T-Mobile has come a long way, so why should I worry about the Mocrosoft’s acquisition of Danger, Inc.? Microsoft wouldn’t kill it off. Either they’ll make it better or integrate it. It’s up to you consumers to voice your opinions on the future of Danger, Inc. I, myself think it should remain Danger, Inc. as the subsidary of Microsoft, nothing more.

WOW! NO! NO! NO!

Sidekick is life.
It’s better than anything.

There isn’t a better phone.

This could help the Sidekick BIG TIME. I see better WiFi, 3g and more in the future of Sidekicks.

seriously Microsoft is not changing the sidekick OS that see the possibilities with the device and that’s it calm down and the G1 s great yes it has minor bugs no one said it was okay to have bugs because its new but what phone doesn’t when its release like I don’t know the iphone and I’m not a fanboy of any phone facts are facts that’s how I see it.

I have a G1 and an LX I think the sk should stay the way it is. Ppl on the G1 forums think that because its a new phone that it is ok for it to have bugs. NO its not ok its 2008 when you release a phone it should be somewhat close to perfect. I’ve been a sk user since the first BW one and I never till this day had a bug. I use my sk more than my G1. Its bugs free!

Yo i think mircrosft might do good to the sidekick plan the bad

Good= Wfi, 3G service and maybe 4 the first time you can be on aim and talk on the phone at the same time. Microsoft is actually rescuing our sidekicks. Were all rocking outdated phones compared to what’s available now. the features is not up 2 date

Bad= Windows mobile and its slow apps

Are you people crazy? This could only mean good things for the sidekick brand.. We just got video for our sidekicks.. Prob because of microsoft though the video kinda sucks.

If anything Microsoft will boost the next sidekick up with the likes of the iphone and G1. I could see anything from a sidekick/zune phone or a sidekick/xbox line phone.. Or possibly a mix of all three. I personally can’t wait to see what they do.. Wifi and 3g are obvious the top of the list. Your also crazy if you think they would scrap the danger os. Lets face it the swivel screen and keyboard couldn’t keep these phones alive by itself.

Yes I know it could possibly look like the G1 but I think Danger should keep Sidekick’s exterior design and just adding a touch screen that is a little bigger and well just use your imaginations! =P

Beam me up Scotty!!
