T-Mobile today announced the Sidekick LX 2009. Here is a preview of the same. Let us call it the Sidekick LX 2009, so we do not confuse it with other similar-named models. This product, which is said to be the most durable among all of the models, is made by Sharp and is the first Sidekick with 3G, and also the thinnest to date.
Physical features include huge FWVGA display with high resolution; QWERTY keyboard, 3.2-megapixel, with auto-focus, LED flash, and video capture; GPS, which integrates well with the included Microsoft Live Searchapp and microSD memory card slot. Other features include apps for Facebook, MySpace, and Twitter, Microsoft Exchange app, main Sidekick email, calendar, and contacts and full web browser.
The 2009 Sidekick LX is available now for pre-order for existing customers only and will then go on sale to the general public on May 13, with the very first units out of the factory going to those who pre-ordered.
