T-Mobile Sidekick LX 2009 review
Posted in: Features, hands-on, HandsOn, review, t-mobile, Today's Chili
T-Mobile’s Sidekicks have been cult favorites stretching all the way back to the original grayscale model — a device with a design only a mother could love, may we add — when it launched nearly seven years ago. Though the unusual form factor with the addictive spring-loaded pivoting swivel has largely prevented it from attracting a mainstream audience, the countless teens and twenty-somethings who’ve latched on to the Hiptop ecosystem have cited many of the same reasons for loving it since day one: an easy, foolproof UI, push email, high-quality customizability, decent web browsing capabilities, and a stellar messaging-optimized layout (remember that QWERTY was little more than a twinkle in most manufacturers’ eyes back in 2002).
At its launch, the first-generation Sidekick LX represented a new high end for the franchise — big shoes to fill for the 2009 model of the same name. Does it live up to the hype? More importantly, could this be the first Sidekick complete enough and robust enough to reach new audiences? Head on over to Engadget Mobile’s review to find out.
