New sidekick LX 2009 Coming May 13th 2009

The 2009 edition of the Sidekick LX is thoroughly new and pretty much nails every item on every Sidekick fan's wishlist: GPS, 3G data, an absolutely glorious 3.2-inch full wide VGA display, and super-tight integration with Facebook, Twitter, and MySpace. You've also got a 3.2 megapixel AF camera with LED flash, microSD expansion (T-Mobile throws a 1GB card in the box), video recording and playback (including YouTube access), stereo Bluetooth, quadband EDGE, and HSDPA 2100 for high-speed coverage when you're galavanting around Europe. The ace up T-Mobile's sleeve, though, might be Exchange ActiveSync support, which will be coming via the on-device software catalog shortly after launch. It's available for pre-sale to current T-Mobile customers starting today -- everyone else will have to wait until May 13 -- but either way, you'll be paying $199.99 after rebate on contract in your choice of "carbon" or "orchid" finishes. Check out all the snazzy photography below -- and follow the break for our quick first impressions of the phone.

sssoooooo whats better the original sidekick lx or the sidekick lx 09?

[omgrobbiee]

According to the guy at the T-Mobile stand that I asked today, he said yes.

I really hope they're wrong. I don't want to have to pay almost $500 just to get 3G.

[sk8ervzla]

i dont think so,

[omgrobbiee]

Wait, if you already have a sidekick and want to upgrade do you still have to pay the $449? Or do they take off a discount for already being a customer and sidekick user? Doesn't make sense to me. I've been on the contract for a year now.
