the slide also feels good in my hands. i love its look and i appreciate its overall build quality which i believe is definitely nicer than the other sidekicks out at the moment.

im for the sidekick slide all the way. even though the lx does have a nicer keyboard and screen. i chose the slide over the lx because it does a better job at being a PHONE. the speaker and call quality imo are much better, especially the loud speaker on the back. it is also very comfortable to hold to your ear when talking because the speaker is on the screen instead of the dpad. my only complaint, like everyone else is the keyboard. it is kind of annoying, but you get used to it and i can definitely live with it. this is my favorite phone ive had. my iphone was also nice but it broke!

I just ordered the sidekick slide from ebay but I wanted to know if the sidekick slide can be used to watch videos like youtube. Does It?

Thanks

I got my Sidekick LX for the added battery life, more spacious screen, improved browser and better antenna.

Still can’t believe I traded my Xbox 360 for this shit….

Well me personally.. I loved the lx but to be honest it was just perfect idk why i got a slide i miss my lx. To the max the screen the lights. The sound. The buttons. The slide is ok. The instant messaging could be better. I mean the lx and the 08 got an upgrade why didnt the slide get an upgrade? They need a upgrade fast. I’ve been a member for t-mobile for 4 years now. I love the sidekicks but. Lx would have to be the bestt.

I have a sidekick 2008 and it’s the best sk of all. It has a 2mp camera wich takes very good pictures and the best processor for sk’s. The web browser is still slow bcz its EDGE but the screen its great! Not as big as the LX and not so tiny as the Slide. The sound is great and the shells are 2. If you want a Sidekick with the great features of a LX but with the sleeker looks of a Slide go 4 the 2008. The keyboard is great and it has video capture (20 secs). The slide is just 2 small and you can’t do real web browsing bcuz of the screen but it looks great and the LX is way better but you feel like a crimminal holding a brick in a gang fight lol.

Did I mention it’s the first where you can transfer Music/Photos/Videos/vCards/Notes tru Bluetooth?

I love the sidekick lx! Actually..im using the internet on the phone right now to type this messege. Ok well first off, I say the sidekick lx appearence looks better than the slide. 2nd..the camera on the lx isn’t very good. The pictures are not very clear, so I’ve seen better. 3rd.. A lot of ppl say when they drop their lx, the screen scrathes the whole screen, well I’ve dropped my phone a lot. *accidently* I’ve dropped it in wet mud by a puddle *didn’t ruin it at all! Also I’ve dropped it down a flight of stairs! Haha, and it landed on tile floor. So apparently if u drop phones a lot…this would be a pretty good phone, and maybe buy a cover for it. So stylish! The other bad thing bout the lx is that even the volume isn’t loud, well it is loud just not as loud as some other phones. But other than that I love the lx!! I say its a better phone than any other sidekick..cus overall..sidekick lx is wayy cooler than the slide I mean come on, the way u flip the screen is auwsum! All my friends r like can I flip it?! Lol, so get the lx.

I know I’m not going to purchase the LX because its 50 bucks more than the slide, but what I’m just not sure of is, should I get the reg SK vs the slide??!!!on t mobile’s website they are both the same price….
But your article here was very helpful. I read the entire thing.
Thanks!!!

I don’t know what ur all talking about…my sidekick hasn’t given me any problems with it shutting down when I close it….but my scroll bar gave out and I’ve NEVER dropped my phone and there’s no water damage I have insurence on the phone and I’ve only had the phone since june….will they give me a free lx in exchanged for my slightly deffected slide? And a NEW lx at that? Since the slides are dis continued… Can someone tell me?

I first got the sidekick slide for Christmas 2008. I had been wanting the phone because of the looks and it felt right in the hand. I first realized problems when I started sliding the phone up and down. The phone would randomly turn off. I knew there were problems with the phone before but T-Mobile said they had got rid of the phones that messed up.Obviously mine was still messed up so I had to get a new one. The slide doesn’t have really any features that should be necessary on a phone.First off there isn’t an alarm clock built in.I looked online today and it says you have to pay $5 just to download the alarm.An alarm should be automatically on there. Also,the camera on the slide sucks. It takes bad pictures and there is no flash. Everything looks so dark.Another bad thing about the slide is that it always freezes up.I will be in the middle of a text and the phone will freeze up. The only reason I keep this phone is because of the looks.

the slide is better give me a free one

Okay, so I left that comment two comments above… big mistake! I had so many freaking problems and I got it replaced and the newer Slide sucked even more.

T-Mobile gave me a lot of problems when I called… I kept getting transfered to the same automated system. Anyways, they’re sending me an LX for free, too.

I’m on the Slide still at the moment and I’m a girl with small hands and I absolutely hate the keyboard.

Get the LX since it’s now the same price.

I purchased the lx about 2-3 weeks ago, and on july 4th, i was takin a picture in my bathroom and it slipped from my hands and onto the bathroom floor..and it was heads face first and i went to pick it up..thinking there was dust, it was cracked all across the screen. ive never had that happen with my previous siekicks..so now im going to buy the slide..but dont get me wrong i LOVED my LX!! A lot of $ but worth it, but im gonna try the slide for somethin diff.

By: Zahra

Zahra — Sat, 12 Jul 2008 07:30:58 +0000

Well… I’ve reviewed both of the phones very carefully and I’d have to go with the Slide.
They are actually both $199 now, so that’s kind of nice. I thought it was ridiculous that the LX was THAT much more expensive.
Anyways, I just purchased the Slide.
I still don’t think it’s worth it for the price… Neither one of the phones are… Come on, T-Mobile!

I got mine for free, but that’s besides the point.

I got the sidekick slide. Im a boy. At first if you’re a first time sidekick user this seems cool. But after a while you feel bad because so many people (GIRLS) have it. I played with my friends SKiD and the keypad is so good. The slide keypad is okay if you’ve never felt a SK keypad. If you have the oppurtunity definetely get the SKLX.

Hey the battery life isn’t longer than the lx. Baterry life lasts 5.9 hours and 3.6 days of standby. Then the lx lasts 6.8 hours and 4 days of standby. Hey but then again the slide is still good. My friend had a slide. He was hearing music right and dam the thing was loud. The loudedest phone I ever herd. But yeah the lx is pretty hot too.
