TMOBILE SIDEKICK LX 2007 BLUETOOTH
The media player is far better, with video and stereo Bluetooth support. The LX's main problem is that it's simply outmatched by T-Mobile's BlackBerry Curve. The tabbed client does give you quick access to MySpace profiles, blogs, and mail, but I can't help but think T-Mobile is behind the curve here-aren't people moving over to Facebook? To make up for the browser's struggles, the LX includes a dedicated MySpace app. The browser is basic, without support for frames or Flash (most notably, Facebook looks lousy) then again, it's no worse than the BlackBerry browser. I experienced a very high latency, often having to wait several seconds before Web pages would start to load. I achieved varied speeds between 50 kilobits per second and 150 Kbps at speed test sites, a wide range that's typical of EDGE. Speed-wise, it's stuck with T-Mobile's EDGE network, without the boost of Wi-Fi that other EDGE devices like Apple's iPhone and the Blackberry Curve have. The LX browses the Web, but not very well. The one included title, a Mario-style game called Bob's Journey To The Center Of The Earth, played very smoothly. You can download a limited set of games, applications, and ringtones, but nowhere near the hundreds of apps available for other smartphone operating systems. The device doesn't support any video, either recording or playback.

You drag and drop music onto your memory card by plugging the Sidekick into your PC with a USB cable.

The built-in MP3 player sounds good over standard headphones plugged into the 3.5mm jack on the side, and the device handles MP3, unprotected AAC, and unprotected WMA files of any bit rate-including non-DRM'd files bought from iTunes Plus or Amazon. The LX's 1.3-megapixel camera takes decent pictures, though I saw compression artifacts on them and outdoor pictures tend to overexpose bright areas. You'll want to drop a microSD card into the slot under the back cover. It doesn't seem to be measured in megabytes, but I managed to max it out with three days' worth of e-mail messages. The device has very little onboard memory. The LX supports Bluetooth headsets, but only in mono mode-no stereo music headsets.
Maximum call volume wasn't very loud when it was pumped up by a very loud source on the other end, I heard distortion problems. It didn't do very well in our weak-signal test. But unlike every other smartphone platform out there the Sidekick still lacks support for Microsoft Exchange e-mail, Yahoo! Mail, or a native Gmail client.Īs a phone, the LX is mediocre. Image attachments appear inline in messages, while other attachments are usually boiled down to text. The device supports its own T-Mobile mail account plus three more. The Sidekick also pushes POP3/IMAP e-mail to you, and it's extremely simple to set up. You can flip through conversations quickly, and it's very easy to type speedily on the large, widely spaced keys.

There's full access to Yahoo!, AIM, and MSN buddy lists, and you can even see your buddy icons. The keyboard ties into the always excellent IM client, backed up with both SMS and MMS support. The well-spaced, raised buttons make it easier to type on the LX than on almost any other handheld device I've tested. The best feature on the device is the keyboard. You still navigate a rotating wheel of icons with a trackball that pulses with multicolored light when you get a new message, a cursor pad on the left and four action buttons that perform various functions.
The traditional Sidekick interface has gotten a shot of color and better graphics, but not many more features. It's bright and glossy, with 400-by-240 resolution and rich colors its only flaw is that it is somewhat reflective in sunlight. It has the traditional Sidekick design, with a flip-up display, but this display is far, far better than those of previous iterations. It is also considerably lighter than the 3 at 5.7 ounces. It's the biggest device I've handled in a while, the same width and length as the previous model 3 at 5.1 by 2.4 inches but 0.2 inches slimmer at 0.7 inches thick. This Sidekick is a tall drink of water, that's for sure.
