THE GOOD
The T-Mobile Sidekick LX boasts a sleeker design with a larger and much-improved display. The handheld continues to be an excellent messaging device with a spacious full QWERTY keyboard. It also offers Bluetooth, MySpace Mobile integration, and a 1.3-megapixel camera. The software also brings video recording and playback and stereo Bluetooth support.

THE BAD
The Sidekick LX lacks integrated Wi-Fi. The phone's speaker is on the weaker side.

THE BOTTOM LINE
The T-Mobile Sidekick LX will continue to attract a legion of young fans with its fresh design and excellent messaging capabilities. We like the improved display, and the software update brings some much-needed additions to the features department.

    4.0/5
    I highly doubt that T-Mobile was actually aiming for anybody much older than twenty years of age to actually want to use, let alone, purchase this phone. I'm sixteen, I'm a T-Mobile customer, they've never let me down with anything and I love these ...  read more »
