Sidekick LX OS Walkthrough

Ever wanted to peek deep inside the Sidekick LX’s OS? We compiled a couple screenshots to take you through most of it. Believe it or not, the shots we’re showing you actually look better on the device than they will here on your computer monitor (for the most part). We’ve got the Catalog, AIM, MSN, myFaves, Music Player, and much more after the jump!

    BG, is the signal on the thing as jumpy as the pictures say it is?
    That’s pretty bad if you ask me.

    because we have gotten the rsvp cards from the local t mobile… means we get the device on the 24th, but it doesnt specify what color.. does anyone know what color will be given that day or if there will be a choice… i think blue and brown suck. id rather have old school sk2 color over those..

    Is SnowBored still a hidden game?

    Can you access websites now that you couldn’t on sk³? (Rumor is that they tweaked the Javascript on the LX)

    Can you show screens with various text sizes? (Rumor has it you can choose text size of small/med/large within different apps)

    Can you do a bob screen shot? (I asume there is a bigger play area due to wder screen)

    Is there Rocks & Rockets available?

    Does Calculator look the same or have more features?

    Can those of us with SunCom stores (NC/SC/PR) get the LX when it comes out? (T-Mobile bought out SunCom)

    Have they added any more UniCode Symbols?  ♪

    Have they added any special AIM/YIM Symbols:

    Okay, the SKLX has a more than 2x screen resolution than previous sk3/id models…

    So why is it, that the only two applications that would benifit from this jump(myspace app and web browser) are not screencapped for our enjoyment?

    To be completely fair, the sklx’s upgrades show possibilities for better pix, video playback, better games, and more polished apps… but that’s all wishful thinking, I’d like to see screenshots of it’s current improvements, not more rehashed pix of os v3.4…

    The SKLX has only one obvious, serious improvement. Screen resolution…

    So why is it that the only two apps that would benefit from this (myspace mobile and the web browser) are not shown?

    Throw me on the LX bandwagon(new SK3 user, love it), but this article isn’t really helping any of us.

    Oh, as far as the sd size I think you can use a 4gb or less (depending on what you need).

    Hi I just bought a sidekick lx like two days ago (is amazing.) and I think I have a defective one but I’m not sure the speaker sounds like it’s shorted or something is anyone else having this problem or is it really that mine is defective.
