Ok, can someone PLEASE explain SOMETHING to me.
Why are there two different sidekicks, the LX and the Slide? Is it one for here and one for the UK or both will be for here? Or if both are for here, then what are the difference between them?
Oh, and, I don’t have a T-Mobile store nearby me so will the Sidekick be available to order on the internet on the same day you can get it with the card? Or when will it be available to order on the internet? Someone PLEASE answer this, it would be GREATLY appreciated!

im gettin mine tomrrow
September 24th, 2007 at 9:47 pm
I’ll get mine when I see some specs… Reservation cards with no specs is a little… well it’s just stupid. But, I suppose this being my first Sidekick purchase, i’ll definitly be getting it. Everything I buy, the newer version comes out a week or so later, glad I looked around before buying a 3.
September 24th, 2007 at 10:37 pm
You’d think that they’d have a spec list ready at the time they started giving out reservation cards… like, say.. the price! at least… lol

already got my reserve card and tmobile told me this isnt the sidekick 4 its just the lx slimmer and updated version of the sidekick 3 so u guys who thinks its the sidekick 4 u are wrong!!! sidekick 4 isnt out yet so if u want a slimmer and widescreen 3″ sidekick 3 with myspace options then the lx is right for u otherwise stick with your sidekick 3 and wait till the 4 comes out cause the lx isnt a sidekick 4!!!

So what do you recommend to someone with a broken down Razor and wants a sidekick?
September 25th, 2007 at 7:30 am
We don’t know that there is ever going to BE a Sidekick 4, as it appears they’ve changed their naming system for the phone. Yes, it’s an upgrade to the Sidekick 3, just as the Sidekick 3 was an upgrade to the Sidekick 2, and the Sidekick 2 was an upgrade to the color Sidekick. The screen resolution in the LX is significantly upgraded, so the Sidekick display won’t have that sad washed out look anymore. The OS is upgraded. Everyone can decide for themselves if it’s worth upgrading to, but for me the improvement in screen resolution is worth it.
And I definitely recommend that somebody with a broken down Razor get a Sidekick, if they enjoy doing text messaging, sending and receiving email and web browsing. The only problem, of course, is that the newest model won’t be out for a few weeks.

well first of all does this sidekick lx have video or no? cause if it doesnt man sidekicks suck period. cause i cant stand the sidekick 3 and i had mine since it came out i got sick of it because i started seeing all these phones with video and i paid $400 for this and it doesnt have it!!!….everyone else makes phones with video but if this lx has no video im gonna toss my reserve card out and stick with the sidekick 3 idc about a widescreen and slimness big deal!!! os upgrade n myspace options on it big deal!!! still no changes in the damn sidekick world same old sht NO VIDEO!!!
September 25th, 2007 at 9:00 am
Get ova it!!! The word is compermise. It may not have video, but look at the fones that do. They don’t have IM, internet, email. So wat wuld u ratha, a sideick wit video, or a sidekick wit I’M, internet,email. Gosh. Bside. Ur all so lucky. In australia we have 2 w8 4 at least 6months the telstra ppl sed as the hiptop 3 just came out. So stop being crabby about it coz atleast u get it in less then a month. Oh yer. And the sidekick lx is so so hot!!! Hell yer. I’d tap that

Actually my helio ocean has Every IM client (AIM, Yahoo, MSN) AND it has a 3MP Camera that looks awesome AND it has video which can be directly uploaded to an online server once it is recorded plus Youtube instantly. (my youtube account with these videos https://youtube.com/profile?user=rad55) As well as photos that can be instantly uploaded to Flickr, WITH Geo tagging. (My Geo map with all my pictures and the places they were taken https://www.flickr.com/photos/7805466@N08/map/)

I dont even need a phone with video…..i have an ipod. why would i need video in two places?
September 25th, 2007 at 10:44 am
Exactly. U r so ryt. Ttly agree
September 25th, 2007 at 11:13 am
Umm, I think he meant that it should be able to record video not just play it. I agree with kur5e, even the cheap phones have video nowadays.
September 25th, 2007 at 1:26 pm
I MEAN SERIOUSLY SIDEKICK LX IS POINTLESS IF U HAVE A SIDEKICK 3 STICK WITH IT SAME SHT AS THE LX THE ONLY DIFFERENCE IS THE SIDEKICK LX IS WAYYYY SLIMMER,DIFFERENT COLOR,SLIDES UP AND DOWN,WIDESCREEN 3″,AND MYSPACE OPTION!! BIG DEAL!!! NO VIDEO THAT FUKEN SUCKS….LOOK AT ALL THE OTHER PHONES OUT THERE WITH VIDEO AND TEXTING…LOOK AT VERIZON IS PHONES WITH KEYBOARDS THEY HAVE VIDEO,VIDEO RECORDING,MP3 PLAYER,BETTER CAMERA,FASTER INTERNET AND EVEN CABLE WHAT MORE CAN U ASK FOR? THEY NEED TO FUKEN UPDATE THIS PHONE AND THE GUY WHO PUT UP A SIDEKICK LX ON EBAY WROTE DOWN IT HAS WI-FI? NOW I DUNNO IF THATS TRUE OR NOT BUT SOMEONE PLEASE TELL ME IF IT WILL HAVE VIDEO OR NOT THATS ALL I WANNA KNOW?
September 25th, 2007 at 1:30 pm
i donsent slide up n down thats the slide dumb mutafucka
September 25th, 2007 at 2:29 pm
Haha, one of the two new sidekicks doesn’t slide =) Chill dude, you’re starting to make yourself look dumb.
September 25th, 2007 at 2:42 pm
It’s true that many low-end phones can now record video, let alone texting phones and smartphones. AT&T for example currently offers FOUR phones that record video for free, with a new contract after rebates (the Nokia 6085, Pantech C150, Nokia 6126 and Sony Ericsson W300i). If the Sidekick continues to lack this feature it’s going to get a bit… embarrassing.
September 25th, 2007 at 4:28 pm
Yer but if u look at aot of the cheap fones that do have video don’t have a lot of the features the sidekicks do. So compermise. THIS IS JUST THE SIDEKICK LX!!! Aperntly not the four. So of course it isn’t goin 2 have video. W8 4 the sidekick 4 if u want all the upgrades. This fone is just 4 the ppl hu r considering gettin a sidekick but don’t lyk the chunkyness or screen. T-mobil is just using this re-model of the fone 2 make more money. And I kno that none of my fwend use there video on there fones.

Yeah, but shouldn’t a phone that costs a couple of hundred bucks be able to do something basic like video that some of the free phones do? Heck, there were reports that even the processor in the Sidekick 3 supported video. It’s just a matter of Danger writing the software already.
Granted personally I’d rather have a phone that multitasks beautifully and doesn’t do video than have a phone that CAN do video but can’t multitask (like the Helio Ocean). But in fact there are more and more phones that can do both for the same price or less than the Sidekick, so Danger really can’t afford to keep dragging their heels on this…
September 25th, 2007 at 10:37 pm
Tru. Ttly agree. But the fact is, tmobile and danger r lyk, y pay the extra money 2 add new features wen we can just slim it down and ppl will buy it. But it wuld b gr8 4 a betta camera and video, even radio wuld b good as, Betta microfone.
September 26th, 2007 at 9:08 pm
I gotta admit, I’m drooling over these new kicks, BUT spec wise it’s not even in the same galaxy with the helio ocean; multitasking or not.

I was quite interested in a sidekick, especially after rory gilmore used one. But the lack of video recording does bother me, I like having the option of taking out my phone and recording my friends doing something funny (which my phone currently can do). Considering the sidekick is aimed at a youngerish crown you’d think it would be a good idea. Anyway I really want a phone with a qwerty keyboard, so my question if you could answer it please.
Does anyone know of a phone that has a slide out or swivel qwerty keyboard and a good camera with video recording. So far all the phones like that are pretty much all pocket pcs and I’m only a student and don’t need all that corporate stuff. Any suggestions would be great. THANKS!
December 5th, 2007 at 3:31 am
also a touch screen would be cool. I swear that would be an awesome phone
