Review: Sidekick LX

Form Basics Extras Video Wrap Up Comments 8

For the Sidekick lover, or a soldier in the Hiptop army, the LX is just about the Sidekick you've always dreamed of. However if you're not a dedicated Sidekick aficionado it's difficult to recommend the LX when there's far smaller, more modern devices out there that are far more capable (except when it comes to IM, it's true). Even for aficionados, the LX might not be the answer. While finishing this review, we also received a Sidekick Slide. Feature-wise it's a match for the LX except that it only has a QVGA screen. However, the smaller size, solid build, and better sound quality more than make up for the slightly smaller screen.
