I have the sidekick LX in blue.  It is one of the nicest looking phones out there in the Tmobile world anyway....i just wish the carrier was a better one!! (i personally am switching services because i dont like tmobile all that much...)  i'll definately miss my sidekick, but, will get something close...

its a good phone for teenagers. lots of communcation options : email text aim and internet. but... it doesnt have much memory storage and sometimes calls/texts do not go through just because. it also tends to crash after a while and signal cuts off for no apparent reason.

I received a Tmobile Sidekick LX from my awesome boyfriend on my birthday in July 08. After previously owning a Sidekick 3 this was a major upgrade! The sidekick LX is truly just like a computer only with a phone. You have instant messenging, email, text messaging, picture messaging, internet, and an mp3 player. You can also use the phone to check your yahoo & aol mail accounts. The camera on this phone is really great, its almost just like having a digital on you. The downloads for the phone are amazing too, you have tons of ringtones, backgrounds, games, and applications such as myspace to choose... review »

So I just recently got a new cellphone, a brown Sidekick LX to be exact, and it's not that great at all. I don't have the internet plan so annoying pop-ups keep coming out of nowhere and I can't even go on AIM! All phones are capable of doing that except a Sidekick! Also, sidekicks will not run without a memory card so every time you turn off your phone...ALL YOUR INFORMATION is lost. It also does not let you set a permanent ringtone, which sucks as well. Point: DO NOT BUY IT IF YOU DON'T HAVE A MEMORY CARD OR INTERNET PLAN TO GO WITH IT!

i bought the sidekick lx because i was told by the tmobile people that the slide was not functioning properly and would turn off when it was flipped open.  i was originally upset with the high price tag but it works great! i can easily send pics, emails, txts, IM's, anything with this! it even has an expandable memory slot so i can store tons of pics or music on it...everyone is raving about the new iphone but i prefer my sidekcik anyday

I like the fact that the sidekick lx has a full keyboard and that I can use the internet and AIM as much as I want. However, I do not like that I can only get ringtones that are available through T-Mobile. The sidekick lx is not compatible with ringtones that you can buy from television or online.

I love it!! You can numerous email accounts, on this phone. The text messaging with full keyboard, the music player.  all of it is awseome.  They only thing that i do not like about it is the pictures dont come out very nice. The Side Kick Lx is a great phone to have.

 I have the sidekick lx and so far i think it's working out for him. i like that i can go on aim, yahoo messeger, msn messenger free of charge. i hate that most of the time my calls are drop because i am out  of signal area.

Welllllllll......it's just ok. I thought about getting a blackberry and that's what I wish I had gotten. I was lured in by the Sidekick plan that was much more affordable for all the features it included. What i discovered is that the Sidekick isn't so great. As a phone, it's hard to hear people on the other end, so I only use it if I have to for phone calling. The mute button is also in a place where I always push it when I'm on the phone and then it's hard to get back on track.

 I like the big screen a lot, but was disappointed to find out that i can't customize the background with my own photos....

i never thought how helpful a phone can be until i got a sidekick lx. The phone is pretty affordable unlike other phone. I personally love the myfav flex plan..whit this plan u can unlimited text, includes picture messaging and web browsing..for only 59.99   it's so easy to use! This is truely a teting phone.. the keypad is fully equipped like a computer keypad.  you will have instant access to your emails, the internet, amd other cool features like AIM. Now with your emails u can have multiple accounts open. i was so thrilled because i always had more than to emails account..with this...
