CrunchGear’s got their hands on their Sidekick LX and has given it a quick once over. Nothing much new there, just a few comparison shots to other devices. (iPhone’s and Blackberrys)

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:

Yahoo Messenger finally auto-connects

Yahoo Messenger Conferencing. (I don’t think this means chatrooms. I could be wrong.)

“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.

For those unable to make up their minds on which Sidekick LX to get, Boy Genius has some color comparison shots to help you make up your mind.

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?

It appears as if Telstra Mobile is also in the process of testing and getting ready to release the Zante down under.

Unconfirmed reports of Telstra trying to push out all remaining stock of Hiptop 3’s to make way for the new device, and a Mid November release date. Also unconfirmed reports of the Hiptop LX making an appearance down under sometime in December have trickled in via email.

Thanks to all who sent this in

These are photographs taken with the Sidekick LX, again by our favorite forum admin.

According to the accompanying blog post for these, these were taken in a complete pitch black room, standing about 4 feet away from the shelf… So it’s a really bright flash now. (Also, who knew he used purex?? :P)

Just a random indoor typical lighting shot. Looks very nice.

Note: The device pictured in these photographs is a pre-production model and may vary slightly from the production model.

eBay user ‘igotsickkicks’ has gotten their hands on a Brown Sidekick LX and has it up for sale. The Brown Sidekick doesn’t look half bad in his photos really.

The Boy Genius seems to be having a good time with their Sidekick LX. They’ve posted a gallery of OS screenshots, along with some new information.

Believe it or not, the shots we’re showing you actually look better on the device than they will here on your computer monitor (for the most part).

Also stated in the comments from BGR when asked about the Messaging limit and charging, they go on to say

Text messaging limit is still 100, but it looks like you can also save 30 messages on your memory card? It does charge via miniUSB cable, and the browser more or less is the same, but maybe a little quicker…

Only 22 more days…

More videos of the Sidekick LX have been posted by our favorite forum admin. This time showing off the LX’s System Sounds, and just how loud the Speaker is.
