Sidekick LX 2009 – the All-in-one Communication Device from T-Mobile

The Sidekick LX 2009 unveiled by T-Mobile is the latest version of the original LX introduced back in 2007. Packed with enhanced and updated features like a high-resolution screen, a slimmer design, 3G data support, GPS navigation and a suite of social networking options, the new LX is pretty much in line with the Sidekick’s youthful and message-savvy target market.

One of the main highlights of the LX 2009 is its large 3.2" WVGA swiveling screen with sharp 854x480-pixel resolutions. Together with the D-pad and the trackball, high-speed web surfing is made easy and convenient. Messaging fans will also appreciate the full QWERTY keyboard with large and well-spaced keys. With dimensions of 5.20" tall by 2.40" wide by 0.64" thick and a weight of 5.82 ounces, it presents a slightly larger, but thinner and sleeker version of its predecessor.

Comes equipped with a host of 3G-enabled social networking applications such as Facebook, Twitter, MySpace, Photobucket and YouTube, the dual-band handset allows users to network and interact with friends and family while on the go. These applications have mobile-friendly navigation with push notifications for updates and messages. The handset also supports SMS, picture message and email, as well as Instant Messaging clients like Windows Live, Yahoo and AIM. Furthermore, users can download Microsoft Exchange application from the Sidekick LX’s Catalog to get real-time push email, attachment viewing and full sync capabilities.

Another noteworthy addition to the new Sidekick is the built-in GPS integrated with Microsoft’s Live Search, which not only provides turn-by-turn navigation, but also allows you to search for local businesses. Using the Assisted Directions, you will be able to enjoy an optimized and integrated local search and mapping experience. It supports T-Mobile's 3G network in the U.S., as well as most 3G networks in Europe for frequently travelling business professionals.

The multimedia features of the new Sidekick are top-notch as well. It comes with an improved 3.2-megapixel camera with auto-focus, LED flash, geo-tagging and video recording abilities. Music lovers will be thrilled to find a 3.5mm headphone jack and Bluetooth 2.0 support for headsets or stereo headphones, and a music player with streaming audio and streaming RTSP video. Additionally, the handset sports a standard mini-USB jack for charging and a microSD memory card slot for memory expansion up to 16GB.

If you are a fan of T-Mobile Sidekick series, the Sidekick LX 2009 will not let you down, as it offers more advanced functionality and significantly upgraded hardware compared to the original one.
