T-Mobile announced their new Sidekick LX today, and I got some hands-on time with it to appreciate the great screen and improved software. You can read about that in my hands-on article on PCMag.com.
But one thing they didn’t demo was the LX’s new, welcome Microsoft Exchange support. Exchange ActiveSync, including e-mail, address book and calendar, will be coming soon, according to T-Mobile. That makes the Sidekick for the first time a truly viable smart phone for people with jobs.
There may still be one snafu, though: the Sidekick’s famously stingy 6MB mailbox. If the new device still only allocates 6MB for email, folks may feel a bit claustrophobic with all their personal and Exchange mail flowing in. That’s something I intend to check out when the new Sidekick arrives here soon.
