I am just getting the lx. i know the difference between the lx and lx 2009, but idk which it is because they say it is the 2009, but it has only a 1.3 mp camera…………..
I would just like to know if you think mine will come with the update if it is just the lx.. thanks.

honestly I have both of the sidekicks the 2008 and the Lx, and really they are very different, i heard people are actually braggin ’bout wat sidekick is betta, wellz in ma opinion, and listen to me itz not a joke, but the new sidekick 2008 can’t be compared to thAT old messy LX,a mean its way more better than Lx, even though it has a smaller screen, its way more sophiticated and it goes way faster than the sidekick Lx, TRUST ME! Take it \from me who has both of tha sidekicks to compared so people who are plannin to get a sidekick and are not sure which to get, well take my advice and buy the Sidekick 2008, and you will not regret it, once ya see da kool keypad and the camera resolution its the best. So Guess wat Fans of the ols azz sidekick Lx, u cant take dat lame *** Lx and shaver up your mamas Azz AIGHTTTT>…

Lol.. That’s going wayyy too far. You need to calm down. I think they’re both great phones, each other things that are better than the other’s. I still don’t know which one to choose, although (NOW) the Sidekick LX 2009 is coming out. I can’t afford the 2009, so I’m going to be getting a 2008 or an LX 2007. I’m a guy, so I find it kind of hard to type on such a small keypad, but I also want my sidekick to be smooth and not lag at all.. I don’t know which one to get. I want the internals of the 2008, but the design and features of the LX 2007. I don’t care much for the camera, and I doubt I’ll be allowed to use the internet.. All I want a phone that I can text rapidly with. One of the major issues is the PRICE. The Sidekick2008 is roughly $300, while the SidekickLX2007 is $450.. It seems to me that the LX is better suited for me with it’s larger keyboard and screen, but It costs $150 more than the 2008, which actually runs faster with it’s new software. HELP MEEEE T____T

I got the sidekick lx wen it came out and i LOVE with my phone. its not the smallest thing but the big bright screen is amazing. my 2 bestfriends have the sidekick 08 and it feels cheap and light . when you pick it up it just doesnt feel like a phone that shuld cost that amount of money . theres a reason why the lx continues to be more expensive then 08 .. bcos it is a better phone . the shell is the only big difference .. and to tell you the truth id rather have a good flash camera then a shell that i culd possibly not even get every week . anyone whos wondering which to get . just get the lx it relle is a good phone.

i think the llx is better because it has mor ethings and you can buy different shells easier so if u want a phone get a sidekick lx
the 08 is good but it just has slower internet and is the same as the lx but lighter
its the same thing as the sidekick 3 and the id they r both the same except one is lighter

I had to make the decision. I used to have a sidekick id. but i hated it after like 2 days. so i switched to a regular flip phone. But i really like the lx and 2008. But i made the decision to get the lx. the lx looks more masculine to me. and plus i have larger thumbs the lx has bigger everything. also the screen. everytime i look at it i thinK: “i’m glad i chose the lx”. i know its not that much of a difference but its just bigger and i love it. Sure it might be slighlty bigger but if your getting a sidekick, you should just know your going to be carrying around a big device. so theres what i have to say. but really its your own decision. do what you want.

ima first time sk user…I got a sidekick 08 for about 3 months now and I love it. its has to be my favorite of all my previous phones. idk much about the difference between the 08 and the lx but I don’t really care. my sister had mostly all the sidekicks except for the slide and I love the fact that the 08 is smaller and lighter from the rest. finally it feels more like a phone and not a sega game gear. and no more covers!! now there’s those new back cases for the 08…if ya sratch ya phone up…buy a new case and wala…new fone, instead of those stupid leather and plastic covers that make the sk seem bulkier. honestly no complaints on the sk 08…so what if it’s a tad bit smaller than the lx (gotta admit the lx finish does look hot) my ONLY complaints on the 08 are…no flash on the camera, what’s the point of having bluetooth if u can’t use the ringtones passed to u as ringtones?? and I can’t watch videos on youtube but my brother can on his stupid moto krzr!! pls fix this for the next sidekick and u’ll have a loyal costumer

Ok so I use to have a sidekick slide, then down graded to a sidekick id just to test out the swivel screen before I actually updated to the 08 or lx everyone has there own personal prefrence on phones and what they are most into such as weight feel etc me personally… I now have a blackberry curve but I do agree with the person above who said small is what we wanted take a look at the Id look at how big it is and how it hardly even fits in ur pocket.. I think the sidekick 2008 is a pretty sleek small device which is why I would choose it over the lx, don’t get me wrong the lx and 08 are both great phones the same almost actually… But I just would like a small sidekick. I know most of you will read this and be like wtf but its personal prefrence that’s why I don’t get why we have ppl calling each other ******* were all a little more matture than that right ? Oh also if ur main concern is the great keyboard you could check out the curve I typed all this with it great use of a keyboard so long story short don’t worry about which everyone thinks is better go with the one u think is the best. Plus I’m sure 2009 has a great sidekick coming outsoon any questions ? Email — drewdanbury@gmail.com
