It looks like this device is going to be pretty similar to the Sidekick LX, which is no surprise. He also mentions that the device will be “affordable”, although noone is tossing around a price tag yet. His original post can be found on the TmoNews forums.

so does this have everything the LX has?

I want the new phone cause its a little bit smaller in size
July 10th, 2008 at 3:32 pm
this seems way better than the lx

no video?

i dont think its the real specs
cuz if it is its goin 2 cost more than the lx cuz of its 2mp camera and the lx only got 1.3mp,Bluetooth 2.0 w/file transfer, Media Player, Removable Faceplates
this is like a new sidekick lx and a id together abd i hope its less than the lx if it is the lx wouldnt exist anymore of the fact beter features and cost less

Differences between the two…
*The new one is 4.7 x 2.3 x 0.7 and the LX is 5.2 x 2.4 x 0.7.
*The weight is 4.9 ounces compared to the LX’s 5.8 ounces
*The standy by time has increased from 3 days to 10 days, so thats a big plus.
*Talk time decreased by an hr
*Camera is now 2mp compared to 1.5, no flash on new one
*New one: ram: 128 mb Flash ROM: 64 mb, LX: 64mb
I wouldnt say its a lot better, but it is an improvement.

These are nice phones. With video. I bought mine because they are smaller

Very nice phones indeed, I picked one up yesterday and I’m quite impressed. Also, according to T-Mobile, they support up to 8gb Micro SD memory cards. The only thing I wish it had, is WiFi…..but IMHO the SDHC support makes up for it.

many people tell me the sidekick lx is better than the 08…does anyone own both of them?…maybe you could help me as i dont know which one to choose

T-mobile says the sidekick 2008 supports a 8gb micro sd card, but it can actualy support a 16gb micro sd card. I have the sk 08 and I just got a 16gb micro sd card and it works.

the 08 is the upgrade of the sidekick id, not lx. the sidekikc lx 09 is update of the sidekick lx. understand?
October 29th, 2009 at 1:21 pm
Not true. The sidekick 2008 is the update from the sidekick lx
