T-Mobile makes Sidekick LX, and Sidekick Slide official!
Not that we didn’t have our suspicions already, heck, we even knew the Sidekick LX would be coming in multiple colors, but whoa! The Sidekick Slide announcement came out of left field! You might remember the Sidekick Slide from our intimate hands-on session a little while back. Something we knew but couldn’t share, was that the Sidekick LX’s fantastic high-resolution LCD screen actually is a Sharp Aquos LCD. Nice! All around the Sidekick LX seems to be more polished, a tad bit thinner (we’re talking almost the exact same size as the Sidekick 3 here), but who are we kidding…the big thing for T-Mobile Sidekick users is finally the addition of MMS. Believe you me, people were revolting for it! We can expect the same great and easy to use OS that know and love on both the Sidekick Slide, and the Sidekick LX. A whole list of improvements, specs and other important info is after the jump, but to sum it up; both devices are quad-band, they both have 1.3 megapixel cameras (the LX has a flash), both have MMS/SMS/IM, web browser, and of course, the Sidekick t-mail address. The Sidekick LX will be available for current T-Mobile subscribers on October 17th, and for new users on October 24th for $299 with a 2-year agreement. The Sidekick Slide will be available November 7th for $199 with a 2-year agreement. Everything you need to know, including more press shots after the break!
T-Mobile Sidekick LX (Price $299 with a two-year contract): With a number of enhancements of its predecessors – requested by those that live, breath and love Sidekick – the Sidekick LX boasts a thin, clean profile design, a large WQVGA screen that incorporates high-definition Sharp Aquos LCD technology, a camera with flash, enhanced media capabilities and mood lights that light-up with definable alerts for various communication functions.

I think that you guys are wasting your time by sitting there bashing T-Mobile or the Sidekick I love everyone and I personally have the Slide and I think that it is a geat phone it DOES NOT freeze nor is th camera quality AWFUL questionable to say the most. I think that people should not judge a book by it cover it is ignorant to judge something you have not even held in your hand and yes the Slide may be average but its unique because it is a SIDEKICK SLIDE and yes as a matter of fact T-Mobile is making more money than Verizon Wireless and Apple put together and remember Apple also sells computers so haters stop hating!!

Update to Free Sidekick Slide, 50 Dollar Sidekick LX Promotion

You still get the $50 towards an accessory. Also you still get the 12% off the monthly price if ou are an AVON rep.
It looks like it may now be a 2 year contract instead of 1 year.
This promotion is due to run through September 30.
This is for new accounts and new lines, if you already have a contract with T-mobile then you can do this deal by adding another line for 10 dollars a month.
If you credit is poor, then you probably will have to do flexpay. This will require you to prepay the monthly bill upfront.
If you prefer to order online, then the address is still http://www.tmobile.com/avon. The pricing is the same but requires a 2 year contract.

I purchased the Sidekick slide in May. I love the look and functions of the phone. I’m not even a t-mobile customer. It’s now September and finally I’m using my phone…unlock code. I have AT&T. I love this phone. AT&T needs something like this for sure!
Thats because it is rubber dummy. the sidekick lx you r dump the sidekick lx is way better than the dam slide idiot
the lx and slide iz da bezt
Oh am going to try to get it when I’m older because my dad won’t give me a new phone until I’m in 8th grade and I’m in 5th grade right now.However, if my phone were to mess up I would get a new phone. But i’m going to do that cause if my dad found out than he wouldn’t buy me it. But if he bought already than it would be too late because he signed a 2 year contract. But he would take it away after
the slide sucks so bad i got the new cranbberie and black and doesnt come close to the lx or 08
it does have great camera if you know how to use it has a way more dirable screen but the features and user friendlyness<–”dumb word” isnt very good the lx was or is way better why do you think the discontinued the slide
how much u want the sidekick lx i give u 200$$$$
use propper grammer. you sound really ignorantand stupid.
i really love this phone i have a blackberry and it looks cool but i like the both phones the same. evenly
i never really had a sidekick lx b4 but i am really thinkin bout gettin 1. 1 thing i am afraid of iz my lx gettin stolen. Other than tat hell to the f&**in yea i want tat damn sidekick lx yea halla nd 4 all u people talkin smack stop talkin it nd go get a damn life 4 real real talk. Like u people r maddddd aggie 4 like no reason. If u have a problem wit wat i just said do not hit me up talk it over wit t-mobile duce
errrmm… i wna gt 1 of those but idk if it has a camera or nt….so if any1 kno’s bout it plzzz reply…thnx xx
the G1 is one of the greatest phone tmobile came out with I had the G1 i think its good phone the camera is okay not all that. but the G2 its on its way right around the camera so you should wait, The T-Mobile G2 is QWERTY-less thinner variant of the G1. It also runs on Android OS but upgrades the camera to 5-megapixels. Other features include 3G, GPS, Wi-Fi, UMA, HVGA touch screen, microSDHC slot, Internet Browser and Email. so I think u should hold on tight…
that is fucking way to a much money are you fucking kidding me….
p.s way is it so much hu…
