During the past couple of weeks, we’ve seen pieces of the puzzle falling into place: Leaked images and internal memos, FCC approval, a scheduled New York launch event; However, Thursday night, T-Mobile put all the speculation to rest and added the final and definitive piece to the puzzle. The end product? The new T-Mobile Sidekick LX.
Not to be confused with the original Sidekick LX, which it will eventually replace, the Sidekick LX 2009 offers a slimmed down design and some great new features, including 3G, Flash video support, and Twitter integration. Current Sidekick owners will get first dibs on the new device. Online presales start now for a price of $199 with a two-year contract. If ordered by April 30, customers will receive their Sidekicks on May 12; if ordered after April 30, the device will be delivered within 7 business days. For everyone else, the Sidekick LX will be available in stores nationwide and online on May 13, but final price had not yet been determined.
To come clean, we actually got a preview of the T-Mobile Sidekick LX at CTIA 2009, but we couldn’t say anything because of nondisclosure agreements. However, now that the cat’s out of the bag, we can talk about all the features and our first impressions.
