The Sidekick devices have always been about staying in touch with friends via messaging and the Sidekick LX is no exception. The voice was a bit tinny on the outgoing end, but otherwise good and loud. The Plantronics Explorer 330 sounded much better on both incoming and outgoing ends. The outgoing voice on the Sidekick LX via the Jawbone II headset sounded like a “broken pay phone” as our call recipients described.

If you are getting the Sidekick LX, don’t get the Jawbone II Bluetooth headset as they don’t work well together. We also tested the phone with Bluetooth mono headsets including the Jawbone 2 and the Plantronics Explorer 330. Voice through the included wired headset is excellent: loud and clear. The Sidekick LX comes with a wired stereo headset and has built-in Bluetooth for working with Bluetooth headsets and car kits for hands-free calls. Just like other feature phones, the Sidekick LX supports common call management features such as call waiting, caller ID, call forwarding and speed dialing (2-9). The phone sounds good on both the incoming and outgoing ends, and has never dropped a call in the Dallas area.

The device has very strong RF and gets full signal strength in strong to moderate coverage areas, and gets half of full signal strength in marginally covered areas. The Sidekick LX is not only a good texting device but also a good voice phone. After all, this texting-centric device was at the forefront of the mobile social networking and continues to have a foothold in connecting circles of friends. The Sidekick LX isn’t the sexiest phone we’ve seen, but as long as celebs like Paris Hilton, Eva Longoria and Hillary Duff keep flashing their Sidekicks on the red carpet or at night around town, it doesn’t matter. The 1.3 megapixel camera is on the back of the device and under the battery door, you will find the microSD card slot (no need to take out the battery). And since space is abundant the Sidekick also provides two shoulder keys that can launch the applications of your choice, volume keys and a power button. The Sidekick LX not only can house a widescreen display and a roomy keyboard, but also has room for large call send and call end buttons, 4 menu keys, a front facing speaker/earpiece that also functions as a four-way d-pad and a backlit trackball. Measuring 5.2 x 2.4 x 0.7 inches, the Sidekick LX isn’t a small device but the trademark swivel WQVGA screen and the very useable full QWERTY keyboard make up for the large body.

Like uniquely designed clothing, the Sidekick messaging phones have found themselves into the hands of teenagers, famous people and teenage famous people. You will need to pick a Sidekick service plan in addition to the individual or family voice plan to use data and other services, and the Sidekick LX has support for T-Mobile’s MyFaves feature.

The Sidekick LX is a quad band GSM phone that’s manufactured by Sharp exclusively for T-Mobile.

This software update is available to all current Sidekick LX users with a Sidekick data plan and it’s an OTA (Over The Air) download. Of course it’s hard to group Sidekick LX with any other device except the Sidekick family given the unique messaging features, backend support and cult (and sometimes glamorous) following. These new features include video recording, playback and sharing capabilities enhanced web browsing and A2DP support, all of which are commonplace among competing devices in this class. The Sidekick LX isn't exactly a new device, but in June of 2008, T-Mobile rolled out a software update that added some features most coveted by Sidekick users.
