Sidekick LX 2009 Coming to Canada
Remember how sad you were when you found out Fido was dropping the Hiptop? Well cheer up buttercup, it looks like you may want to keep an eye on Globalive if you live in Canada. Some leaked slides show that the Sidekick LX 2009 will be available to “Global Wireless” customers. We’re assuming these are slides for the not-yet-launched Globalive’s Wireless division. No word on prices for the Sidekick LX 2009 yet, but they should be coming at launch along with 14 other handsets. Launch is scheduled for Q4 of 2009 or Q1 of 2010 so you still have a bit of a wait unfortunately. Oh and one more tidbit, apparently when you are on roaming in the US you’ll be on T-Mobile.
More info (and plan prices) over at howardchui.com and original leaked slides over at HowardForums. Super blurry spy shot below:
Thanks Antonio!

i reckon it’l hit aus around november. only because the slide came to aus in november 2007 so all the slide users will be finishing their contracts ready to get the LX. which is UBER LAME. and i hope im wrong and it comes early.

Perhaps the deal with T-Mobile will be reciprocated, meaning that USA Sidekick users will be allowed free roaming in Canada, as well!?!?! (Hope so, not that I ever travel to Canada)

hi guys
can the phone be used anywhere other than in the us? cause my family and i are travelling to the uk and it’d be a bummer if it doesnt work anywhere else apart from home.
thanks!

Probably not. Doesn’t even work in the U.S. Those poor canadians and aussies are so excited…..too bad they don’t know its a piece….my back cover broke witihin a week and the dang phone has already reset like 3 times causing me to lose all my text messages. I wonder when the hype will start to wear off and people will realize they’ve been conned out of 300 bucks. Thank goodness for craigslist!!! Sold mine first chance I got. Oh and canada Q1 release!!! Ha ha probably be the “SIDEKICK XXL ’11″….or the “Sidekick 3.0.2.3.1.4″…. still waiting for t-mobile to release the sidekick 4 since everything after the 3 has just been minor upgrades. Maybe by 2012
Peace !
