  • Please, help me get access to the internet using sidekick LX 2009

  • No

  • Phone uses GSM for calls but a different system for data which is maybe not deployed in africa. It also could require a new SIM card which is only possible if the phone is unlocked but if you can make calls it may just be data is not compatible. Phone was designed for and intended for US T-mobile use, function outside of the country is more by accident than design.

  • how internet settings can be apply

  • My review would surely work for the users living in India. I bought this brand new cellphone as a gift for my Wife's birthday from ebay.in on 17th Oct-12 and the product was delivered on 22nd Oct-12. The phone came box packed, sealed and with 1 year Warranty by the importer & distributor. Now in India this phone is being imported and marketed by Airtyme Communications and hence the mobile is being known as "Airtyme PV-300 Flaunt". I bought this phone at a throw away price of INR. 2149 (USD 40.00 approx)only with all the accessories and original Sharp soft protective sleeve!!! This phone was launched in India by Airtyme in May-June 2011 and hence the import date on the box reads June 2011. The product is manufactured by Sharp in 2010 in Japan as mentioned on the box. Consider this; It's one of the best looking, well designed, best screen resolution, best build quality and amazing features packed 3G phone available in anything below INR. 5000 tag. I personally liked the Microsoft owned Danger OS of this phoned. Messaging and maintaining Address Book is one of the best I have seen in any other phone in this range and it feels almost like using MS Outlook. Other features like Calender, Tasks and To-Do lists are one of the best and quite user friendly. The instant messenger connects quickly and works awesome. It carries a feel and looks of MSN messenger app. Navigation and Trackball works perfectly fine. For people who are regular users of smart phones of Nokia & Samsung; the navigation and user interface of Sidekick LX 2009 can feel a little bit tough to browse but believe me within 3-4 days of regular usage and after going through the detailed online manual it will be a piece of cake and fun. As per me the few cons in this phone are: 1) U can not upgrade the OS as services related to the same had been withdrawn by Microsoft last year, 2) No applications or Games can be downloaded, 3) Internet Browsing can only be done via Opera Mini 5.0 which not up-gradable. 4) Even if camera is of 3.15 MP the picture quality is only satisfactory. Flash works fine with still picture but the same can not be used while making the video. For best results I would suggest to use the camera in day time for making the videos. Also, as the phone has been manufactured in 2010 the battery will tends to worn out sooner if regular net surfing is being done. Usually after 2-3 hours of continuous net surfing or chatting on this phone the battery worn out almost completely and needs a recharge. Other than the above mentioned points, I was unable to find any other flaws. Overall, I am highly pleased with the robust OS, inbuilt applications, looks, feel & touch, style statement, high resolution LCD and swivel screen. I would recommend this phone to all those who are looking to upgrade their existing phones to a good looking and robust 3G Smart Phone. This is one of the best and exciting phones I have seen in recent times and my wife is highly pleased with her brand new smartphone. :-)

  • tata docomo network

  • how to get it registered data services

  • there's almost no app support in this phone...this phone has an operating system, Danger, which is dead and discontinued.it had an app store of its own named danger which was backed up by cloud storage service by microsoft which crashed .this phone comes with a GPS chip but does not have any maps, nor can you use Google Maps as it doesn't support the OS. It has push mail capability but no mail client to use this capability. It supports Microsoft Exchange server as well but again there is no client and the worst part you can't download it either.moreover i don think so that even downloading facility is available on this phone.. it has a very superb hardware but since its app store is dead now most of it is almost useless this phone can only be used to flaunt with nice swivel feature, and nice sound and very good camera. this phone has nothing for app freaks...

  • It should not take more than 15 minutes

  • How t install games in T-Mobile Sidekick LX 2009 also how to create any songs as a Rington

  • Docomo has a past history of not getting itself configured on any mobile.

  • you put it in an windows explorer folder on your cpu then put it on the themes folder on uour phone

  • Same thing happened with an LG mobile of mine. Did not use at the phone refused to start. Then one local mobile repairer in Mumbai immediately knew the problem. He removed the battery and charged it on a different charger. Then it worked. You have to find someone who can do that. Or maybe plug your phone if for days and hope it gets on.(switched off) If you got to an electronics experts he might also be able to jump start it my giving it a "power charge" that is charging it at high OHM. But be sure the electronic guy has the right equipment and knows what he is doing.

The phone contains a help guide for setting up the apn. Now in the settings menu there is an option to set up the apn using which we can set any apn manually. Now the default browser is opera mini and works fine. I have configured idea network and its perfectly working.

  • Hi...does anyone know if Airtyme PV300 G Flaunt will work in South Africa? Like all the internet features without being on the t-mobile network but on the Vodacom-SA network?

  • Hi, I bought this unlocked T-Mobile Sidek!ck LX 2009 fone from US and I�m using it in India. Here is my review after using it for 3 Months -> The Internet doesn't work with any 3G SIM or Plan in India -> The fone doesn�t have a memory that permanently stores data. Most of the time when it reboots, the fone book, SMS stored is deleted (not from SIM or SD card) (It is designed to upload all data to T-Mobile server and retrieve it from the server every time the device is re-started) -> Can use it only for calls and SMS. -> Good Battery standby -> Decent Speakers for Media player -> Good 3MP Camera -> Great Keyboard for messaging -> Tried with a 4 MB SD card, it takes few seconds to read -> No WiFi -> Can use it as a external drive -> The manufacturer has stopped support for this model -> Does not have a calculator In spite of my fone rebooting very often deleting all my data/resetting most of the setting, Its only the look and the kick that makes this mobile the best of the rest. Every time you kick open, you'll know its worth giving away most of the fone's features. If you wanna make heads turn every time you pull-out your mobile, THIS IS IT.

I have had hands on experience with this phone as I work at a phone company and it gives no option or settings where the manual configuration can be inputted for the internet.

  • Hi fellow Filipino =) I bought mune thru ebay at S$160 (120USD). Yes It works in the philippines, although we could only use text and call features. But believe, it is so cool that 4 of my housemates ask me to buy for them also =D. if your interested you can look up in ebay and search for "sidekick LX 2009", the seller whom I bought from is "texas-super-seller". his the only one that sells complete box and original accessories. hope it helped =)

  • It happened to me also! Kinda lucky! But I still hope that browser could work too (maybe we'll be luckier next time).

  • Hi Kabayan. Yes it could work it the Philippines (call and text only, plus of course the camera and music/video player). Just got mine thru Ebay for only $160. Its really cool i tell you. Hope that helps =)

  • if you purchase the ones on amazon that says "unlocked" yes they will work.. the disclaimer is tho that they are only unlocked for voice and txt. but once you can get a data plan there from a service provider you will be able to access the net.

  • Does this phone work in the Philippines? Cause I'm in the philppines and I want to buy one. :)

  • I bought this phone last December on eBay, but I have anticipated the fact that I will not be able to use the internet and have 3G connection, despite it being unlocked, in UK. However, the most surprising thing happened last night. The phone kept on leading me to the Tutorial page and I could not override it even after a few restarting. I was worried if it got relocked. In despair, I clicked Next and fill in the form with gibberish. To my surprise, in the end it said "Congratulations, you have been registered" and every free apps were installed to my Sidekick and I'm now able to use the 3G connection and the internet (not the Web, but I can now log on to my Facebook). I'm rather happy but I'm also a bit confused, has this ever happened to any of you?

  • if u get it network unlocked u can use it in s.a

  • was planning to buy this thing on ebay. im an apple user and change phones frequently... i have many phones and doesnt satisfies though its all hi tech 3g ang wifi... im a nokia and an ericsson collector...(as ive said i chnge phones a lot) the only thing still i dont have or had is a qwerty phone i plan to buy blackberry for its qwerty but a lil bit expensive btw i live in japan so it only accept 2100umts and was got intimidate with this sidekick phone for it is 2100 can be use here when unlocked... i have a Q`s: does any1 know if the phone will work with a prepaid sim using an internet? for it shows it doesnt have a wifi... and internet will work only if you got a line 3g sim... ? am i correct? does it freezes when you use any application? can any 1 help?

  • hey does this fone work in south africa?

  • Hi, I am living in Queensland, Australia. I just bought this phone, secondhand, off ebay, I am hopefully going to pick it up tomorrow. The phone is unlocked & I am with Telstra, I'm just wondering, is there any way at all that the internet and IM will work on this phone for me.? Need to know asap seeing as I am picking the phone up tomorrow.

  • Have you sorted this out.? If so, how do you do it.? I recently bought this phone and desperately want to get the internet to work on it.

  • I buy one last week, is really a good phone, i can't wait to use it :D

  • It is true I got mine from ebay to replace my nokia e51 but the thing is e51 has more of a performance than the sidekick lx well i bought the phone because all I need are text and calls but the constant deleting of contacts and phonebook is slowly getting into my nerves. Anyway get the phone if you really are interested in call and texts only.

  • they can definitely make this phone much better. with the same style and keyboard along with some or the latest features gps, better cam,different OS, so to say specs comparable to a top nokia it will sell off. i do have one and love it.

  • Just inbox and sent items

  • yes

  • you were informed wrong the sidekicks only lose the data if you take out the battery while the sidekick is still powered on if you turn off the sidekick and then take out the battery you will be perfectly fine

  • can we buy this in the philippines?

  • is ny body interestd in selling this phone.....??

  • i am extremely impressed with this phone. does anyone know if it can be found anywhere in the middle east??

  • I think the design is very original. I like to see it swivels the screen. But unfortunately, this phone doesn't exist in Indonesia. There's no any such this swivel screen types like this phone here in Indonesa. I'll keep on waiting for sidekick come to Indonesia..

  • I am absolutely in love with this handset does anyone know if it will work in South Africa and if yes where can I buy it. I have looked all over and it is of high importance I own this handset

  • yes it does work in slovenia. buy it!!!!. you're worth it. did you watch how england knocked slovenia out of the world cup......!? very sad :(

  • hey guys! I'm a teenager and I want this phone since like forever, but I'm worried it won't work in my country.. I live like in the middle of nowhere - my country is Slovenia.. If you somehow know if it works in my country please let me know.. I really don't have the time to read all the opinions - 'cause you might answered the question before.. So my question is: Are all of the data on the phone lost if you take out the batery? I heard that the older phones lost data when taking the batery out, so I'm not sure if it's the same with this sidekick.. Please, please answer me.. greetings from Slovenia to everyone ;)

  • OK, this will answer many questions those of you have. firstly i have this phone and as i was impressed with having it and showing off, long term it is not worth having. Here are my reasons: 1. Once unlocked you can use it pretty much anywhere with any SIM, however that does not mean you have unlocked the network functions on it. They will not work, period. 2. Once unlocked the phone will constantly try and connect to a data service to enable internet functionality. It will keep disconnecting and reconnecting, therefore whoever has not got an internet package will be charged for the constant connections (PAYG users beware). 3. After having this phone for a few months the internal memory played up a couple of times and DELETED ALL MY CONTACTS AND MESSAGES. Very annoyed with that as it has happened a couple of days ago. 3. As you can send and receive texts, you cannot get MMS (picture messages) or set up the service for it. you will be bombarded with the same MMS because it is trying to get to you, so you will have to delete it. Having said all of that, you will be literally shelling out money for a phone that can only make and receive calls and texts, THAT IS IT. Would probably work perfectly if you live in its native USA, but forget trying to use the best features anywhere else. It does have some good features with like ring tones and p3 playback and an average quality camera, but expect no more from this phone, seriously. I am putting mine up on eBay.

  • hi i have recently buyed this phone and can not unlock can any one know the unlock code

  • can i download any softwear in this phone? have a voice change softwer? have a gprs modem?

  • is it a touchscreen phone?

  • Ok I got myself a 2nd hand unlocked sidekick LX 09. The phone has decent display and has minimum lag when scrolling or selecting apps. The thing is I live in singapore and since I unlocked the phone for us ein singapore I dont get to use the GPRS function as my telco sub cant figure out how to install it. The battery life is short as the phone keep trying to register itself on-line via GPRS which i mentioned ealier not able to use. I have so far found no way to off that function. So far very pleased with the phone

  • have you unlocked the sidekick lx 2009 version also? thx...

  • @ soni : try ebay

  • What features are the ones that dont work?

  • You cant use all the features on a Sidekick when you unlock it Its like buying a car you cant drive out of your house It will be more like a decoration for the same price, get other QWERTY phones I beg of you

  • hello friends can anybody let me know that from i can get this in mumbai and what will be its price....

  • i was wondering if the Sidekick Phone will work in the UK??

  • I love this cell phone

  • i think its a cool phone to look at i might consider buying it

  • i think its a cool phone to look at and might consider buying it

  • yes man you can check the website called unlockyoursidekick.com

  • yeah you are right. Get android or windows mobile or blackberry........

  • if these are so crappy y did u buy 3 of them

  • this unit is junk. all versions are junk also. if you think this phone is cool then i say you are inexperianced. i've had 3 of these crappy units. nearly any real smartphone is superior. even as a kids toy it is boring. get a android, windows or blackberry and don't look back.

  • I have no real reason to be even on this particular with this phone, although I figured I would have a look at what some people consider great. Ok, my opinion... This is by far not a great phone at all. The specifications say it all, I would recommend an enormous variety of different phones versus this. Seriously, why would you want it? For teens? HA! I am a teen, HTC Desire is surely for me, for any tech saavy person, but this is for... Well, unnecessary to comment on that, but I dislike this completely.

  • i want to order the phone on line but , i have i problem does it work in Saudi Arabia with the same sim card i have here thanks

  • Hi i'm from manila, and I'm going to the states soon and planning on buying this phone. The only problem is will it work properly when I unlock it?

  • already have this phone but dont know how to unlock...any help here?

  • u can always buy it online and wait for it to be dilevered in front of ur doorstep.

  • sidekicks are only good for the first few months they are used. they're made that way. the life expectancy for the charging port on every sidekick is about one year, and it just so happens that a new one with the same features and different design comes out every year and tmobile even sends out an email to all their tmail account (only sidekicks are able to use an @tmail other phones use @tmomail) stating a new sidekick and its time to upgrade. Finally to force all users to upgrade all work on the previous model is ceased and for those who dont upgrade they jack up the prices in the catalog. ex since the 09 came out 08 and lx owners have to pay $10 to record video for 50 serconds also for the 09 myspace is free but on the older models its and extra $5 a month. it even took them 4 sidekicks to finally make picture messagging an option sidekick are marketed towards teens because they know we'll pay whatever they charge us to buy the newest model version. that way we stay locked in our contracts and theyll make money remaking the same phone over and over

  • Well i was thinking on getting just the phones without the tmobile service plan so i can use it with the malaysian local sim card here.i so much love the phone.but the only problem is were to buy from..

  • forget it if u want to use it in malaysia.. this phone will be as good as a brick.

  • pal its unlockable, theres a web site that does it how do i know? i got 1.. the only prob is u wouldn't be able to use alll the functions

  • well i own a sidekick lx 2009, i got my unlock code for it and it is now unlocked :)

  • c'mon..why bother to buy and rizk a lot of fortune if u don't know and not zure if all the featurez gonna work or not..the place u are now or uzing it to zome other country..there'z a lot of smart PDA phonez that iz zo uzerz friendly and not really complicated for a novice individual..more cheaper and have zame zpecz..

  • As far as I know, yes. All Sidekicks delete all of their information if they haven't had service/contact/valid sim/no battery/etc for xx amount of time. Either way, if you buy a used one, do a master reset/call customer care to get instructions on how to do it to make sure everything is good

  • I work for a outsourced call center for T-Mo (One of the English ones thanks). To those that want to unlock the Sidekick (Any for that matter) it is impossible. To use the Sidekick, you need the special sidekick plan which connects to a T-Mo directory (Of sorts) where you log on with your user info on the T-Mo network. No T-Mo credentials, no using the phone. I've spoken with customer care a few times as well and we are not able to unlock the phone either. Do not buy the phone unless you plan on using either T-Mo's Post/Flex paid service OR the Prepaid service. To use it as data only with optional/no voice, you have to qualify as post pay or go with prepaid. Flex does not support the data only. Just thought I'd be nice and share this info for those customers that are buying them to try and use on other carriers or are just generally trying to figure them out more =)

  • pls i need 2 knw d info of sidekick 2..Am nt sure dere is anytin lyk dat buh a friend of mine wants 2 purchase it 4 me so pls any idea of sidekick 2

You can buy an unlock one from ebay.com and ship it directly to you or you could go to america buy one then go to an internet site to acquire an unlock code and unlock it yourself. The cheapest siteI found charged 59.99 for the unlock code.

  • Im a customer care rep for Tmobile. Ive browsed thru gsmarena.com and read the comments. FYI Sidekick LX 2009 has facebook, twittter, etc. Exclusively for TMobile only.(since that's what we tell our customers and is part of the policies and guidelines.) If in case the phone can be unlocked by pressing something in the handset, still, some specs and features wont work. This will work / fully function with a tmobile simcard.

  • for those saying that this phone can be Unlocked, Partly it might be true. But if the sidekick phone can truly be unlockd, the specs and features cannot be enjoyed 100%.. You can call their customer care and ask them abt it.

  • I browsed that phone in multiple sites - the best one seems to be eBay.com I saw a comment that this phone can NEVER be unlocked as it is a T-Mobile one - Okay, in eBay you can find brand new, never opened, UNLOCKED phones - is that true? Are there unlocked versions of this phone? Im in Bulgaria (Europe) and want to order that phone, do you think it will work???

  • tmobile sidekick can only be used with a tmobile simcard, its a phone that is exlclusively for tmobile subscribers. The company doesnt provide any unlock code for this coz its under their policies.

  • sidekick phones are exlusively for tmobile. You can never unlock this phone and use with a different simcard

  • BS i have dis sidekick n it does have youtube myspace twitter facebook gps 3g network camera videoaim msn yahoo bigger screen better resolution mp3 n more other stuff n it looks hot da keyboard looks better n da new lights they put 2

  • The phone WILL work in ANY country in terms of SMS/calling/file storage ONLY. As with any phone, if it is unlocked it can be used on all networks. If not, it will only be compatible with T-Mobile - the network it was specifically designed for. For one to be able to access applications such as IM or any of the Internet based services, you have to be a US resident. It will not work outside the US. The phone is of gorgeous design, but unless you're American is it really worth buying the phone and wasting the use of those applications (MSN, AIM, Yahoo!, Facebook, MySpace, Twitter etc.)?

  • nice design,big screen,nice keyboard,3mp camera,3g,gps,alot more,what u want more

  • hello everyone if you change the wap settings will it work on o2 ireland sidekick lx 2007 and what exactly are wap settigns are they the APN UserName Password that is in the network options becuase they can be changed to the networks thing then i might be able to use this sidekick on the 3G network in ireland because i have a 1GB data add on which allows me unlimited email,web,im and anything to do with internet connectivity all up to 1GB so what do you think might have a possibility to work email me [email protected] or add me on ymessenger and or aol/aim [email protected] thanks

  • worst phone ive ever owned in my life

  • my phone can't read my sim card what should i do?

  • For those of you who own a sidekick, can you please tell me if it has a place for a cell phone charm?? I would really appreciate it! Thank You.

  • is this phon good..?

  • how can u make this phone to catch a signal?...i got one it is unlock but it doesn't have a service...

  • why this phone still does not have 3G video call

  • Maybe you cannot unlock it - but I bought mine in New Zealand and it was unlocked (to phone, not to access the Internet). Trust me, we're a whole ocean away from a T-Mobile cell phone tower. So, somehow they can at least partially unlock it. Have you pressed the button with the 3 lines at the same time as the L key? That's how I get my phone to work. Puzzler PS I've read (in the course of trying to find out how to activate Internet access) that Microsoft bought the Danger software. So I don't know what reasonable reason there can be to continue to block the Internet access {other than US bought phones of this type]

  • I bought this phone on line through TradeMe (New Zealand). It is a fabulous phone as a phone. But, although its so-called "unlocked" you cannot access the Internet (which is why I wanted it.) Supposedly Microsoft bought the "danger" software it runs on - so I don't see why it cannot access the Internet anywhere if it is unlocked. MS is into Cloud computing afterall. Does anyone know how to activate Internet access for those of us who buy the phone outside of the US?

  • can i use msn for this? am i able to play the games in facebook for this? do they have any japanese language software for this?

  • Does this have an alarm clock in it? Cause on the t-mobile site you can buy an alarm clock app. So please help.

  • please get this phone to south africa!! please!!!!!!

  • This hasnt been released in Australia though so how would you know you cant access YouTube?? It could now come with an application...

  • Can anyone please tell me is skype available on this phone or can we install it????

  • I totally love this like holla holla holla

  • you can have wifi and 3g in the same phone, i.e my personal phone, the lg arena =]

  • hey, this is a lie, from exp- you cant use youtube on this or any sidekick, i work in a mobile retailer and using the sidekick/s you can access the youtube site but you cant actauly watch a video.

  • Thats dumb - no wifi then that means no uma. Whats the problem here. I heard you cant have wifi/uma and 3g in the same phone. I think its true. Other than the storm 2 - but thats vzw wifi and no uma. blah

  • It mite if you were rite on a border city within 3 to 5 miles from border. (Niagra Falls). That way it would pick up the tower signal from the us tower. Im afraid other than that it absolutely wont work! Trust me on this!

  • Listen closely folks..You can't unlock a sidekick..i repeat... You can't unlock a sidekick..why..because the your signal passes thru a cell-tower and than it goes to a special (Danger) server tower..Danger was the original company that made Sidekicks now it's owned by Sharp. The Danger server (i believe) is in Dallas Texas somewhere. So, The sidekick only works on T-mobile USA. Thats rite a Sidekick is one of the only T-mobile phones that you can't unlock...Trust me on this folks!

  • no wi-fi! damn you tmob

  • will this be released in australia? if so, when?!

  • Would the phone work in Canada? I mean will I be able to use the internet, phone calls, txt msg with a Canadian service provider?

  • hey guys do you know dis work in malaysia and how much it worth??? pls reply......

  • This phone is not great at all. I bought it to use as a work phone since a lot of people text updates (in the military) and it was an absolute waste of money. Battery sucks, call quality sucks. I returned it and got an Iphone 3GS and have no regrets.

  • Do you recommend this phone?

  • yes this phone will work in the phil. ;) coz i had a friend using sidekick phone here.. its just like an iphone that u can unlock in greenhills of morayta... and im also working in T-mobile as a customer representative .. this phone is really cool

  • people of the world, this phone is only available thru tmobile SP. which is for US only, but u can buy it unlock it when u buy it outright from them but not all features. especially the internet access will work if u use non tmobile service...

  • sidekicks will not work in australia hiptops only work becuase they are designed to work on t network

  • Hi, this phone is obviously wayy better than the sidekick slide, but is it available in Australia? If so, is the internet able to be used and also- does anyone know what providers will work with this phone? cheers.

  • You can, but first you have to openline the phone at greenhills or any other store that openlines any phone. The cost for openline is P1,000 and below. Goodluck!

  • Heyy I wanted to know if the sidekick works in australia? We have the hip-tops but i think there not that good

  • i've been planning to buy a sidekick for a long time now but does it work here in the philippines? please respond

  • hey, i wanna buy this phone, but i dont know if it works in indonesia. Please reply...

  • yes i have the sidekick lx the 2007 one and the speaker is bad for listening to music and if your in a call the sound can be too piercing for my ear if im in a quiet room and just annoying in a public place maybe they fixed it on this i have a slide aswell and have never had call or volume problems with it

  • i+want+too+buy+this+mobile+phon....but+i+cant+fi­nd+it+in+may+contry(iran)

  • yes it does work with a sim card.

  • Hey i wanna buy this phone but i wanna know if it can be used in india...and does it have a sim card slot or is it just wireless like all the verizon phones?? please please let me knoww...!!

  • hi i wanted to know if it's work on sim card

  • pobebly because wifi is faster without a price

  • why would they need wifi if it's free internet?

  • Please can anyone tell me if you can get a sidekick that will work in the UK?

  • i know aquos is a sharp brand because i have a sharp aquos lcd tv. but what im saying is that these phones do not use a aquos screen. aquos screens are only used in there tv.

  • It does work in the US... T-Mobile is using does frequencies.

  • Sidekicks never have wifi.

  • these are avalible at jb hi fi knox 98005577

  • And the Wi-Fi???

  • Noooo! The networks here aren't at the same frequency as in the US. Youre best off buying one in Australia.

  • i'll come to visit the US, and i want to buy a sidekick, so does it work in Europe ??? also i have heard that the speakers are bad, and that you need to be in a room where is no noise to have a conversation, is that true ???

  • it will work with all GSM network In the US, and most likey those in Europe, but no 3g if you do it that way

  • Aquos is a SHARP brand see :

  • can anyone tell me weather this phone will work in any gsm network

  • sharp and some softbank brand phone also use aquos screen

  • it doesnt have an Aquos screen. just because its a sharp doent mean it uses that screen. only there lcd tvs are aquos.

  • yeah i can on my phone and its not a sidekick. i can also take photos on an 8mp cam and i can shoot video in hd. oh and i can use wifi. cant do that on a sidekick

  • Blackberry Curve 8900 all day every day......yaaaaaaaaa heaaaaaard ?!

  • its camera is ok. However the screen is something that alot of manufacturers still lag behind. Can't beat an Aquos 3.2in FWVGA display...although its getting old considering its only 262K colours. Its okay though because next time Sharp will provide a 16.7m colour display! :)

  • This device along with all sidekicks hold one feature over most phones that no one (but sidekick users) know of...shortcuts! I can go through 5 different applications before a g1 or blackberry 8900 user can go through 2. So it's not the form you would want for a phone, I'm sorry but sidekick has been making phones this way since 2002, and they sell. So why change the form? Andriod SDK makes the g1 not the hardware. The 8900 is nice but can you open a text reply and reply to an email and then send an instant message while listening to music before I can? nope. Sidekicks are for sidekick lovers. It's a great phone that should continue moving forward. The 2009 LX is beautiful. I will have mine the 13th. I say phone lovers like this phone, "iphone" crowd (( who believe they know all about phones )) will hate this phone....

  • Hi, Could any one tell me how much does this costs.I need to use it in India.I am very mch excited abt this launch. Please advice. Thank you Rojae

  • this fone aint better then 8900 or g1. but its good for u if you use alota instant messeging or texting like me. 8900 or g1 cant match up 2 da ims n texting comfortablity of a sidekick. other than that they are better fones.

  • I'm sure you can.

  • does this work on rogers wireless?

  • you wouldnt want to unlock it because the main selling point of the sidekicks is the unlimited data plan that you get with the phone. the includes unlimited sms, mms, among other things.

  • Hi, im just wondering how much will it cost to unlock the phone and stuff? Im from singapore and will the phone be able to read my sim card ? and how is the process like to import the phone? the cost and duration? thanks

  • 1 of the best phones on the market today. are you on drugs? this phone is about 3 years behind when it comes to specs.

  • Does this only work in the US, or cn i use this in somewhere lyk south africa?

  • wtz so gud bout it? n watz so bad bout it?

  • how much is the phone ???? plz write back :)

  • I would be careful what you say. A lot of deaf people do by hiptops. And I think it is tremendous that this product can cater to their need. DW

  • this most awesomiest ever i like it! :D

  • I think this phone is behind for not having WiFi in this day and age.

  • i had a iphone 3g and a bb curve 8900 and they bothSUCK and then i boght a sidekick and its awesome its the awesomeist phone ever ;))))))))))))))))))

  • you must be 12 or deaf, that is the only way you think a sidekick is better the ether of those phones. i would take any bb and any wm phone over sidekicks, they are terrible phones

  • this phone sucks, already played with it and it is just as slow and terrible as all other sidekicks. The G1 and the 8900 are the only devices you need

  • it comes in carbon, and basically violet

  • lmao for a phone thats $420 on a no contrace this is pretty lame. i mean no wifi? plus i got a chance to play with this phone and i wasnt impressed with it. its just a sidekick 08 with a bigger screen, 3g, and a somewhat OK camera. and also to the guy who said the G1 and the 8900 was nothing compared to this phone, lay off the drugs, and snap back to reality. your comparing a phone marketed towards teenagers and comparing it with 2 of the best phones the company has to offer. IMO this is just a waste of money.

  • what color does this phone have? or like come with

  • 111222... What makes you think that the LX is better than those 2 phones that you mentioned? you must be crazy. Better than the G1 and or the BB Curve 8900!? If you say the the SideKicke LX '09 is better than the phones that you had just mentioned, then I will have to say that the HTC TYTN II is better than the iPhone. get you facts straight.

  • this phone rocks!!! i love this phone

  • Huh?!! It doesn't even have wlan and the battery sucks!

  • No wifi!!!

  • Does it have good internet? YES I think.

  • I think it is one of the best cell phones in the world today. Also might be better than the G1 and the cure 8900.

  • i think this phone is badasss >... i love it . im so getting it but hurry up release it already man or i aint buying it

  • @prom1: You do realize that the new OS is based on Linux now right? Also I don't know many 2008 spec phones running 854 x 480 resolution either. The Danger OS is solid and has always been. This iteration will be no different and they have done a really good job addressing the main issues their target audience has been after for the last couple of years. This is going to be a great phone.

  • oh... true true make sense!!!

  • I saw somebody is waiting for this to buy. I surprise, what does it have to wait for? Nothing, I think.

  • lol yeah no wifi thats why i love iphone :) cant wait for firmware 3.0 yay

  • No wifi? What a joke!

  • Will it be released in Kota Kinabalu,Sabah? I hope so..And how much does it cost..I REALLY wanna buy this phone!!!!!!!

  • yeah that suck it shud have wifi almost every "now a days" phone have wifi i was considering to buy one but after discovering there is now wifi i don't think so

  • will it launch in asia?? i really love it.. how muct it costs??

  • no wifi!!!!no way but 3.2MP camera

  • If you want wifi but you're looking into something with a QWERTY key pad, you might as well look to Blackberrys and other smartphones.

  • true, they made a cadillac without a radio, tragic.

  • So, hang on a minute, no HSDPA? That can't be right...

  • Sidekicks will probably never have Wi-Fi because that's where T-Mobile gets a good amount of their money: Sidekick data plans.

  • The best phone, nit this but samsung omnia hd

  • when do we get to have WiFi??? that's what everyone is waiting for

  • still only updated to the spec of most of 2008 mid range phones.....

  • No wifi due to battery drain. This slim means battery capacity will be adversely affected. remember you cannot tell which apps within the Danger OS to use which connection: 3G or Wifi; S60/WinMo/Android you can. Also with push style email & so many IM clients running 24/7 you wouldn't get past 6hrs with wifi connection using all of that. Great upgrade though with the slim look, better screen, and 3G connection! This is the Sidekick that shoud've debuted back in 2007 with Sidekick III and by now it would be a serious contender to BB. Their not too different with basic hardware and java based core. But I'd like to see more support for 3rd party applications: no more restrictions to Tmobile approval.

  • oh~~ bro~~ you are asking too much~~ get a UMPC~~

  • and a very good os. , pocket office and of course good batery. These are in general my demands. If you don't mind please answer my question. Thank you.

  • could you tell me if you don't mind a phone with this features: cpu 1ghz, hspa with 10gbs and 5,76gbs, decent 2g (decent edge and hscsd),gps,2g nand memory like i mate, rom or flash memory,quad band, and frontal camera, wifi and upnp. Thank you very much and i hope you will answer me.please. Thank you.

  • Is the sidekic/hiptop lx 2009 coming to Australia? If so when? and with who?

  • Will it be coming to south africa?

  • if there is no 3g in your area can you still watch youtube?

  • can i get this phone in malaysia.???

  • tony is a newfagg

  • henrique is gay

  • I have it.. wasn't that good :( The battery just completely over-heated and costed me 80$ to replace it..

  • too heavy!

  • thats just wrong . This phone has no symbian mac windows mobile or mac os nothing compared to a blackberry its brain wash for people who know nothing about computers

  • A friend of mine has the T-Mobile SideKick phone which he got oversea's but it can't be activated here in south africa, which is a disadvantage.....anyone knows when it'll be available in SA?

  • Do not worry, it is OK. This effect is doe to the display which gets upside down position when opened, as it is swirls 180 degree :) See the oficial site - there is info about the rotation.

  • design like motorola Sidekick Slide and features nigh zn300 nice

  • no wifi? no way!!!

  • WIFI???

  • Wouldn't like to squeeze that baby in my pocket

  • Check the positions of the t-mobile and sidekick logo, how on the black model are upside down and on the other one the opposite direction :)

  • poor 3g

  • anyway... it's great... i Like it... it's just gorgeous.... :p

  • nice trackball, sliding qwerty but damn heavy
