T-Mobile makes Sidekick LX update official

Doubt us? Never. That Sidekick LX update we told you about yesterday has just been made official. T-Mobile made the announcement today, promising a host of upgrades to existing LX users. The new OTA refresh will start making the rounds this week, with video recording, play and share capabilities, an alarm clock, stereo Bluetooth support and Bluetooth file transfer support all making the cut. As with all Sidekick updates, this will be a phased rollout, so don’t get too upset if this doesn’t hit your handset immediately. Patience, dear readers. Patience.

    I think that this whole update thing is a hoax or sumthing cuz everyone I no that has a sidekick LX has not received this update. I think they just said it to get people to stop complaining about certain things.

    I heard about this update through a friend of mine and had to see if it was true. All I heard was that we were gonna be getting video.. BUT ACTUAL BLUETOOTH CAPABILITIES, TOO!?

    What’s funny.. Is I bought a Pearl two nights before I heard about this.. Looks like that bad boy is gonna be gettin’ sent back. Huzzah for LX’s! FINALLY something that’ll at least make make them a little more comparable to every other new phone coming out.

    Next is the touch screen.. ;)

    (I haven’t gotten the update yet, either.. Obviously. But I’m stoked!)

    I found out about this on July 8th when T-Mobile sent me a text message saying SK fans grab a Tony Hawk LE w/video. And they said for more info go to sidekick.com. So when I went online, I also found articles saying that there’s going to be updates for existing LX customers too. I’m excited and patiently waiting. But I also found out it started on June 25. But hey, I guess its worth the wait :)

    Heyyyyyy !!!!!
    still waiting for the update. What the hell is going on? Is it because T-Mobile service is so slow, we will all get the update so slow?
    Has anyone received the update yet?

    You guys are so impatient. Why can’t you just wait? It’s only a 20 second video anyway. A lot of people already got the update, and for the rest.. it would take time. But just be patient. T-Mobile is working on it, okay?

    Man this sucks….I’ve been waiting forever for this update and im so effin inpatient and it just needs to come on by now. well tmobile told me that they aren’t issuing out the updates that danger is out they r being issued out randomly so their system doesn’t crash. So i guess all i can say is be patient and i was told that everyone should have the update by the end of this month.
