WirelessInfo reviews the T-Mobile Sidekick LX and writes;

“Although the Sidekick LX is also a smart phone it’s one with serious limitations like no video recording or playback and a very poor camera…That being said the Sidekick LX does have a very intuitive interface and provides a very easy to use out of the box experience. ”

LaptopMag reviews the T-Mobile Sidekick LX and writes;

“The Sidekick LX claims a very respectable 6.8 hours of talk time, and we weren’t left wanting for juice at all during our tests. Voice quality was solid, although a bit muffled because of the LX’ still less-than-ergonomic placement of the speaker and microphone…In the end, the Sidekick LX makes some solid headway in the user-interface department, but it falls woefully short in making the device a viable option for more professional users; poor reception and slow GPRS speeds are productivity killers in the adult world. ”

InfoSync reviews the T-Mobile Sidekick LX and writes;

“Pros: Improves upon the fun design and great keyboard of past Sidekicks. Screen is dramatically improved. Messaging is still very capable, though not much improved. Online address book is the way to go. Cons: Doesn’t update features significantly. Lacks GPS, 3G network and other key hardware features. Interface could make better use of trackball.”

PCMag reviews the T-Mobile Sidekick LX and writes;

“That said, there is one big reason to get the Sidekick: It’s big. The big, comfortable keyboard and large screen are easy on the fingers and the eyes, a refreshing change in a world where devices are getting more and more tiny and cramped. If you’re looking for a messaging device and the superior Curve just seems a little too small, the LX will be for you.”

CrunchGear reviews the T-Mobile Sidekick LX and writes;

“The real star of the show is the screen, however. It’s amazing. It makes all other Sidekicks look like Atari 2600s. The screen, which uses Sharp Aquos technology, is bright, crisp, and extremely readable. It not only makes email reading much better it makes images and the UI instantly readable and understandable. The screen is great.”

CNET reviews the T-Mobile Sidekick LX and writes;

“The good: The T-Mobile Sidekick LX boasts a sleeker design with a larger and much-improved display. The handheld continues to be an excellent messaging device with a spacious full QWERTY keyboard. It also offers Bluetooth, MySpace Mobile integration, and a 1.3-megapixel camera. The bad: The Sidekick LX’s camera doesn’t record video and there’s no integrated Wi-Fi. The phone’s speaker is on the weaker side, and there’s no A2DP Bluetooth support.”
