Here's my question about the new LX 2009 though; with all these new features, how's the battery life? One thing I've enjoyed about the origional LX is that it can go 26-27 hours on a single charge while maintaining connections to all three messengers, getting regular use, and handling email and SMS throughout the day.]]>May 5th 2009 1:50PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/May 5th 2009 1:53PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/May 5th 2009 3:03PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/

The new OS is based on NetBSD...That would be Linux!

Thank for playing though...please watch your step so you don't trip again on your way out...]]>May 5th 2009 4:15PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/
Never said it didn't. I said the BSOD was "added" not that the os was replaced. It always takes Redmond quite a while to slap the lipstick on and replace the original but rest assured...they are trying as I type this. Perhaps you should enroll in a how to spot humor/sarcasm class and stay off the interwebs for a while.]]>May 5th 2009 4:32PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/
You still live with her I bet? Microsoft hatred has you so blind you don't realize that the OS was not WMobile or CE so you have to retort as if you knew all along and had try and explain?

Your sarcastic remark was the original that all Microsoft OS have experience BSOD so expect it with this one! Except of course...uh you apparently didn't know that or you wouldn't have made the tard comment!

Go play outside Chad...Better yet from the looks of things I think you mommy is calling you in for super.

Go tell her the LSuck BURN again I am sure she will laugh the second time also. ]]>May 5th 2009 5:06PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/
On the last reply I misspelled supper...flame on...LOL]]>May 5th 2009 5:10PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/
Wow! must have hit a nerve to get you going like that. And you are a spelling Nazi to your own self. That must be hard. Not living up to your own expectations let alone those of your parents. Since you still don't seem to get the whole humor angle I guess I should point out the humor of your first post - NetBSD is NOT, I repeat it is NOT Linux. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NetBSD

BTW
For the sake of anyone who might actually care I really like the new Sidekick and am considering getting it for my wife when it comes out.

Strike a nerve? LOL not living up to my parents expectations? LMAO...u r funny...I am just messing around here...No one could get under my skin on a blog comment. It's the internet DUDE!

That being said the dude that told us to STFU is a tool! Plain and simple.

PS - good decision to get your wife the kick she will more than likely LOVE the device! Do you both live in your parents house or hers? LMAO...j/k dude love peace and jerry greese...

@Ben: Your still a tool!]]>May 5th 2009 8:41PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/May 5th 2009 2:22PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/
My only question, as a non-Sidekick user, is how does the media perform. I imagine it will sync through WMP, but what's the mp3/video playback interface like and the such?]]>May 5th 2009 2:27PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/
I like the 3.5mm headset jack, thats a plus
but how about micro SD expansion capabilities

AND can it do divx stuff? Good easy to use media player? Basically, can I use it like a normal ipod or PMP]]>May 5th 2009 2:59PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/
Im not sure how well video goes, on the sidekick LX, videos were terribly laggy. But seeing how the LX09 has video support, it shouldn't be to bad.]]>May 10th 2009 9:04AMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/
I customize my own themes, so I'm able to change the icons for almost anything on the phone (the main ones). Now this customization isn't for everyone but its no different then having jail broken themes on an iPhone. I just wanted to say that before someone says customization is for teens or something. Although, I never got the the last sidekick (2008) because that one, has everyone can really agree, is kiddy or borderline. That phone is more for people that want to customize everything, but that wasn't for me, and isn't for a majority of people here.

Oh Chris, two things. First things is I know you said that the trackball was a little too slow but isn't that why they give the option to turn the speed up or down? So that's not really that bad. I know I have mine all the way up. And I'm not sure if you know but you can also use the send and end keys in the browser, as well some other places (notes, SMS, MMS etc.). This way you can "jump" faster up or down the page.

Second thing is if you tried to post a comment to Engadget. The one thing I hate is the fact that I cant comment straight from my phone. I dont know if that's because of the browser or your site. I'm thinking the browser just cant do it for some reason but still, figured I ask.]]>May 5th 2009 2:40PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/May 5th 2009 2:41PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/May 5th 2009 9:58PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/May 5th 2009 2:53PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/May 5th 2009 3:12PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/
Its been a while since I had a SideKick (of Hiptop as they were called in Canada back when they were available), but on version 2 the browser could use the D-Pad to navigate, and I believe also used the call and end keys as quick ways of scolling up and down. I can't imagine that that has been changed for the newest ones. Those combined controls work better than what my current Bold uses. Are those shortcuts still in existance?]]>May 5th 2009 3:30PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/May 5th 2009 3:37PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/May 5th 2009 3:48PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/May 5th 2009 5:18PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/May 5th 2009 4:27PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/May 5th 2009 4:37PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/May 5th 2009 5:15PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/May 5th 2009 6:51PMhttp://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/http://mobile.engadget.com/2009/05/05/t-mobile-sidekick-lx-2009-review/

It was the dumbest of smartphones, but it did it's job really well. The browser back then wasn't so great, but oh well. I loved it then, and I'm really curious as to how it handles nowadays. ]]>May 5th 2009 8:47PM
