First of all I am not going to buy the Exchange because in the past Danger/T-Mobile offered a free sync program. I like my LX09 because I am deaf even though Microsoft/Danger/T-Mobile haven’t offered IP-Relay or i711 for the LX09 like they have in the past minus Microsoft who probably isn’t interested in complying with FCC Rules and Regulations.

Second of all, I saw the video of the HTC Pro 2 at http://reviews.cnet.com/smartphones/htc-touch-pro2-t/4505-6452_7-33738108.html?tag=mncol;txt and it looks nice but on the other hand seems slow and offer 3.2 mega pixel camera where as other phones are moving to 5.0 Mega pixels. I wouldn’t waist my money on it since I am a casual user and not a business person which the HTC Pro Touch 2 is made for. I am just gonna hang and see where Microsoft/Danger/T-Mobile go with the LX series.

im getting the touch pro 2!!!! it has a touchscreen unlike the sidekick and has a really nice keyborad that better than the 09 so its like a iphone with a keyboard! all in one! **** the sidekick they should have just stopped after the old lx and what was the point of makin the 08. i know people are going to say that its a replacement of the id but still waste of money for them when they could be makin a phone like the iphone g1 and mytouch all together. i cant wait until i get my new phone so i can throw this piece of **** away. the pain is pilling the screen sticks out of the phone just like the sidekick color we dont even have a youtube application!!! we have to go into the web browser go to yutube searcg our video and then wait for it……..then it start to play but the video doents even cover the entire screen like other phones. we cant delete ringtones…..us sidekick users still have to pay those reoccurring fees when i download all of that **** for free on my *IPOD* its really sad that my ipod can do way more stuff that a sidekick when there has been numerous sidekick made and after the 2nd sidekick we all started to state our problem. but this is like the 10th sidekick made and we still have all of the same problems. sidekick suck. my *FLIPPHONE* CAN DO MORE STUFF THAN A SIDEKICK. AND OLDER SIDEKICKS HAVE TO PAY FOR AND ALARM CLOCK????? WTF! UGH THIS IS REALLY BOTHERING ME! JUST LET ME LEAVE BEFORE I SMASH MY SIDEKICK.

I don’t need exchange support even though I do use it at work.
If work needs me to have it then WORK should be Paying for it, not I.

I have noticed that the lx09 price has gone down for the upgrade. I might get one in a bit.
All the stuff some complain about aren’t issues for me, I don’t care for touch screens and if I want good pictures and video then I use a REAL camera.

umm other than the apparent color change the form factor of the phone as well as the operating system havent changed any it still has the same features. oh and to the guy showing his ignorance above the only difference with the mytouch or iphone is touch screen… some of you werent around when the touch screen technology first came out in the 80s now touch screen is a dead technology and yall on a sk website dissing sidekicks u got some cojones my friend. ive used and played around with the iphone and honestly i dont see what appeal it has because other than touch screen it isnt that impressive to me. ever since i laid hands on a sidekick its been a fatal attraction for me only one other device holds my attention as much as a sidekick: Helio ocean 2. and thats only because it does everything as good as a sk lx 09. same data speed same email support, streams music , all its missing is a ota music store and it would be an ocean 2 up one side and down the other. yeah the iphone is a nice phone but honestly its a ipod with a anntena no difference except for form factor. plus people with iphones dont have insurance thru at&t its thru apple and if u drop it oh well taco bell you up **** creek without a paddle at least with sidekick your covered for a year plus if u sign up for device protection itll be covered for as long as u own said device. but to be honest some of yall some fanboys for real when the 08 came out u was riding its nuts and was like “oh im gettin the 08 its tight” as soon as the 09 came out yall was like “sidekick what year?” yeah it dont have all these bells and whistles like the iphone like pointless apps its a social networking device it does what its designed to do : keep u connected seamlessly and honestly yall dont give the device its props. i cant really say nothin about the g1 or my touch because all android is an alternative to danger it does the same thing dangers OS does just with googles usual seamlessness . I’m pretty sure ive offended a percentage of you people that would die for their phone choices but really it isnt that serious. I’m not a gambling man, but the next device from t-mobile after the mytouch youll be wasting more money on the next big device for instance im sure most of u know about the new htc device coming to t mobile its the touch pro i beleive im sure at least one of you will tout that device as the next big thing. honestly if my bill hadnt been sky high i would have kept my 08 but i got catalog happy but since im going back and will be on flexpay i can control my spending better so untill it gets broke ill more than likely get and keep my lx09 untill upgrade time. my fiances cousin got her 08 last year and has put it thru its paces to the point the trackball is piano black. if they were any more durable theyd be nextel lol
