hi, anyone know how to sync the sidekick email with your email address? i heard you needed a ota first for to do it. cuz i have my lx since it came out now, adn my sister friend got a ota then she was able to sync it. so do i ahev to wait?

Hey, I don’t know about other models, but with the Sidekick/HipTop Slide, to add a gmail account (hotmail doesn’t work, unless you use some izymail site), go to: Email-> Settings-> Accounts-> Menu + N.
Protocol Gmail, Then fill in your account info and your done
Oh, btw, you need to have room to receive your emails (unlike me, when I had my inbox at 195% full until I cleared it ot, lol)

I dont mind for the lack of 2 M.

I delete my inbox often, i don’t like the clutter.

I heard about this OTA, but just that they were going to make it for the LX.

Setnakt, sorry for the perhaps misunderstood wording. I was an original BWSK user and you are correct, old-schoolers that have kept the same account do in fact have 8mb accounts. What I meant was that the mailbox was 8mb at one point and then T-Mobile changed the default to 6mb, i.e. new users got 6mb instead of 8mb. I’ve reworded the post to hopefully be a little more clear.

This article is not entirely accurate guys. If you were (as I was) an origional Sidekick (1) B/W user you did indeed get 8M storage. HOWEVER, unless for some stupid “reason” you totaly canceled your Sidekick service, those of us who upgraded to future devices did NOT get “droped down” to any 6M! I’m on the Sidekick II currently and I’m at 91% (7.3M/8.0M on the display). I even had the crappy Sidekick 3 for less than a week tell returning the overhyped “upgrade” (wasn’t worth the price or~!SUPRISE!~loss of all my old apps & games, for the FEW new features IMO), but still there also I had my 8M email account. If anyone was an origional user like me and got “droped down” to 6M you got screwed. Since the Sidekick LX IS a significant enough improvement over the SK II I’ll be upgrading early next year (after my contract expires and time has passed enough for it’s catalog to have some decent options, plus the batt problem corrected~never buy upon release, your a sucker if there is no REAL deal, and there wasn’t). If I’m “droped down” to anything under 8M I’ll be returning that in less than 24hrs. 8M is bad enough, 6M is entirely unacceptable. FYI, I highly doubt this “MAILER-DAEMON” email was from Danger or T-Mobile, unless someone there is smoking something pretty strange.
