Sidekick LX Memory Card

Sunday, October 21st, 2007

So chances are you’ve gotten your Sidekick LX, are loving it, and realize that 128mb of space on the microSD card that came with your LX is not nearly enough for all your music, themes, and pictures. We just put in our order for a nice fat 4gb microSD card for all our music. For those curious, here’s the best deal we’ve been able to find so far:
SanDisk 4GB MicroSD / Transflash with SD Adapter (SDSDQ-4096, BULK Packaging)
Sidekick LX MicroSD Memory Card

skLXthemes.com has also setup a little store to help give people a one stop place for Sidekick LX accessories. We also recommend keeping an eye on myTego.com for skins, as well as GyverGear for all sorts of good Sidekick LX accessories (chargers, screen protectors, cases, etc). Wireless Ground should also have some stuff for the Sidekick LX soon.

Two Sidekick LX Reviews

Friday, October 19th, 2007

Still unsure if you want to make the 3-400 dollar dent in your wallet with the Sidekick LX?

CNet and Yahoo! Tech have you covered with reviews of the Sidekick LX. None of the reviews go as deep as I would like, they seem to be more like “First Looks”, but they might help you make the decision.

Updated Sidekick Data Plans for LX and Slide

Monday, October 15th, 2007

Word from BoyGeniusReport is that T-Mobile is going to be updating Sidekick Data plans to include Unlimited MMS for the LX and Slide, and remain at the same price.

Those of you who are buying their LX as their first Sidekick will automatically get this new plan, the rest of us will have to call T-Mobile and be switched over.

Sidekick LX Manual Released

Sunday, October 14th, 2007

Looks like T-Mobile jumped the gun a little early and released the Manual for the Sidekick LX to us. We’re not sure if there are any surprises in it, but if there are we’ll be sure to post them here.

Sidekick LX Manual

Some new features we’ve discovered in our first combing of the manual:

    “Note! The SonicBOOM Music Player will play MP3, WAV, MIDI, WMA, AAC (MP4), XMF, RMF, AIFC, IMY, AMR files; it will not play RAM, M4P, FLAC, RA or any other file that is not listed above.”

Please do note, the Manual will show some features that have been removed by T-Mobile. It is a general Manual, not T-Mobile specific.

Jamie Kennedy – Not My Sock

Monday, October 8th, 2007

More T-Mobile celebrity buzz, this time from Jamie Kennedy, in a pretty funny sketch titled “Not My Sock”…

Everybody knows our Sidekick’s need to stay scratch free and a sock is a great way to do that.

…Where’s the trust?
