New Sidekick LXs trickling into buyers' hands ahead of launch

Sure, T-Mobile said May 13 for the Sidekick LX 2009's official date with destiny, but if they want to start drop-shipping units a few days early, we don't think anyone's going to complain. In-the-wild unboxings certainly seem to back up stories that devices are already being shipped to those who've pre-ordered it ahead of release -- and call us crazy, but we think we prefer these shots to that creepy viral video unboxing from a while back. Enjoy the shots, and if you didn't (or couldn't) pre-order, we might suggest viewing them very, very slowly so they last through to the 13th.

May seem like an idiot question since it's probably not the main reason for this device, but do these things have an app to type up documents with? Even if it's just a simple notepad type app to just save some text to the card.

Of course it does.

I'm in the dilemma of ditching my Moto Z6w for an LG Neon just because of the QWERTY-keyboard, but I want this SO bad!!!

Fido, what are you waiting for to pick that up? You ditched the Hiptop, can we get the Sidekick LX now??
