CNET Editors' review - T-Mobile Sidekick LX - midnight blue
Hide

Very good

7.3

out of 10
CNET Editor's rating: 7.3 out of 10
Reviewed by Bonnie Cha
Review date: 10/18/07
Release date: 10/17/07

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 software also brings video recording and playback and stereo Bluetooth support.

The bad: The Sidekick LX lacks integrated Wi-Fi. The phone's speaker is on the weaker side.

The bottom line: The T-Mobile Sidekick LX will continue to attract a legion of young fans with its fresh design and excellent messaging capabilities. We like the improved display, and the software update brings some much-needed additions to the features department.
