I wouldn't be surprised if the sidekicks simply get a new design OS and a similar data pack to go across the board for windows mobile as a subscription.

You have to admit the Danger OS was pretty useless. Jay, 22 Apr this sidekick is made by sharp and will continue to be made by sharp Actually that is not true at all, danger has been bought out by microsoft, this may be the last sidekick made under sharp and with danger at the head of software. Work in Mobile before you open your mouth. Anonymous, 20 Apr actually they do, I have been a rep for 2 years and on average I see at least 5 sidekicks a we It still opens and runs aim chats in background 8 years later NO other phone comes close.

So yeah looks like motorola as sharp definitely confirmed that they are no longer making them. The video quality is decent with good colors and playback is reasonably smooth. With faster 3G speed comes shorter battery life. The new Sidekick LX increased its battery capacity to mAh 4. If you are currently not in a T-Mobile 3G coverage area, you will see talk time of 5. Other than talking, accessing the web and playing video certainly use up the battery fast.

The new Sidekick LX is indeed the next generation Sidekick phone and should be the upgrade path for owners of older Sidekick models. The much improved 3G speed with IM and social network clients, modern 3. Pro: Very good music phone, improved camera and video capturing. Large display. Web sites: www. Battery: Lithium Ion rechargeable battery, mAh, user replaceable. Claimed talk time: up to 3 hours on 3G, 5.

Claimed standby time: up to 6 days on 3G, 8 days on 2G. Performance: Phone book can store entries. Each entry can store 10 phone numbers, 5 email addresses, 3 URLs, 5 IM addresses, 3 street addresses and 1 note. Caller ID for up to 50 contacts. However, images turned out a bit fuzzy. Coloring was satisfactory, though when we used the flash, it completely blew out the shot.

The camera also has video-recording capabilities with two recording qualities: high and low. We recorded a couple of clips on high quality, and they came out very low in quality.

Clips were extremely dark and pixelated, not to mention that the viewfinder for the camcorder was a tiny little box. We certainly wouldn't count on the Sidekick LX for capturing your most important moments. Other entertainment options include a media player that doesn't offer any major improvements. To get media onto the Sidekick, you can use the included USB cable and then drag and drop files from your PC to the Sidekick, which should show up as an external drive on your PC.

The Sidekick also comes with one preloaded game Bob's Journey: Lake of Doom and organizer functions Calendar, Notes, and a To Do list but you can always download more from the preinstalled download catalog, though the catalog seems quite bare at the moment. We enjoyed clear, crisp audio on our side of the conversation with very minimal background noise.

Our callers reported a slight echo, though nothing bad enough to prevent conversation. We also had no problem using an airline's voice-automated system.

Unfortunately, speakerphone quality wasn't quite as positive. There was a bit of hollowness to the call, and it was hard to hear in louder environments, even with the volume at its highest level. The Sidekick LX was quite a responsive device with very little lag.

A p HD YouTube video took about 10 seconds to load and buffer, but unfortunately, the viewing quality was pretty bad. Even though the sound and picture were synchronized, there was a lot of pixelation. Aside from the aforementioned complaints, we had no major problems with the social networking apps.

We were able to tweet and post comments on Facebook without any glitches, In addition, we were able to successfully set up and access our Yahoo e-mail account. The only major source of grief was the Sidekick's GPS. Sometimes it was dead on with our location and sometimes it was completely off the mark. On more than one occasion, it had us in the middle of the San Francisco Bay, so we then we would have to exit out of Microsoft Live Search, refresh our location, and then go back into the app to get directions, which was quite a time suck.

In our battery drain tests , we were able to get 6 hours of continuous talk time on a single charge. We did notice, however, after a couple hours of using the various apps, GPS, and Web browsing, the battery life was down to about 50 percent so we'll definitely keep an eye on that as we continuing testing the device.
