iF yOu didnt recieve your update for your sidekick lx you have up untill the end of the month of august to get it…the update goes in a order that is thru you imei number so thats proabably why other people will get the update before you but no doubt if you have a sidekick lx and you have the internet enabled on it then you will get the update so dont worry just be patient wou will get it.

YEA I KNO WHAT YOU MEEN..EVENTHOUGH THE LX LACKS A COUPLE THINGS I STILL WANT TO GET IT

By: Justin

I love my LX but the things that I dislike most are the very poor quality of the earpiece and speaker volume, the low mega-pixel camera, not fully java supported, video capture not available, email retrieval is not instant but rather delayed several minutes. On a good note, I love the keyboard and hinge feature (as always) the music player is nicely setup, the menus are user friendly for the most part, display is crisp, MMS has never been easier, (however adding multiple recipients isn’t as easy as checkmarking boxes) the blue moodlights are a fantastic addition, and overall its fun factor is well above average. I would like to see the $20 data plan include ota themes that can be changed whenever u want at no extra charge. Also some faster browsing speeds. Keep improving! Id like to see the SK become ahead of the game for once. Right now it has fans who are loyal, but imagine if it directly competed with the pda’s and top phones available. A sidekick for low or high end power users. A dream come true for many busness men and women who love the simplicity of the interface and kyboard layout of the sidekick but require more in depth tools.

I love the phone..i totally agree the speaker should be fix…i really want the sidekick lx but because of the speaker i dont know if im getting it…i think i am but i will see how badly the speaker is because everyone is talking about that..they should try to make the sidekick better..it would be almost the coolest phone if they had everything on it

does anyone know anyway to get hotmail to work on the lx?

By: Chris j.

the sidekick could have the feature on it but not functionable until the ota unlocks it because if you have someone send a video to your sidekick lx now you can hear the sound but the video is slow but it still plays my guess is that its so slow because its locked and danger couldnt fully lock it in order to still be able to unlock it with an ota

You’re not gonna see video streaming on the sidekick, period. Record and playback, yes, streaming, no

By: mr.guy

mr.guy — Wed, 26 Dec 2007 21:36:30 +0000

Hopefully they unlock video streaming then this would go from a good phone to a great phone but can they really do that?unlock video over the air don’t they need to do something to the hardware?

when you get the update, you get an email explaining how to split your accounts into their own tabs. You don’t need a Yahoo! or AIM email account to have separate tabs.

By: Martin Rodriguex

Martin Rodriguex — Wed, 28 Nov 2007 17:45:32 +0000

Ok I actually download the OTA update, its ok if you have an AOL or Yahoo! Email accounts unfortunately no g mail or hotmail can be added as a tab, I thought they would at least have that option but eh, its a start, also has anyone updated their java on their phones, im very sceptical about updating, after the myspace application ancident

That cheap data rate is why you may never see streaming video on a sidekick. They keep it cheap by limiting what you can do with it. Theres a rumour that video capture will come via OTA in january though. Anyone know anything about that?
