Sidekick LX 2009 Unboxing
The first (real) Sidekick LX 2009 unboxing! exiva was one of the lucky ones that got his Sidekick LX 2009 a little bit early. He’s posted a bunch of photos of him unboxing it as well as some great close ups. Check them out below:
I got in touch with him and he says he’s willing to answer any questions you guys have. So lay them on us in the comments and we’ll answer any of the unanswered questions you still have!

If you had ringtones on a previous sidekick, were they transferred over?
Can we use sounds as ringtones saved from emails?
Thanks

can he take a picture of the text messaging screen? is it the same as the previous sidekicks?
April 29th, 2009 at 6:38 pm
Since we can stream radio, can we stream mp3s through the browser too?

What’s a cheaper way to get this phone??
April 29th, 2009 at 6:43 pm
What does the battery look like?
is the speaker really a big difference?
Does the applications and ringtones transfer?
Is ringtone recording on the official to the public phone?
Are the keys on the keypad the same material as the ones on the Sidekick LX?
What are the new “face/mood” icons in the messengers.
What is available in the catalog? anything free or different? is it full of items or a limit due to the new O.S?
THANKS!!

Soo, i talked to a cs rep today after I had ordered my SKLX09. And she said any apps and ringtones(purchased products) and games, that I bought within the last 90 days would transfer to my new SK. She said if I didn’t get some that I did purchase recently, she could resend them to my device. 🙂
April 30th, 2009 at 3:27 pm
@Danyosan: She lied to you and has no idea what she is talking about. Those applications have been confirmed by folks inside of Danger/Microsoft to definitely not be transferring over.
Also from experience with every iteration of SK since the 2 they have NEVER ever done that and she can’t transfer anything to your SK since the apps are installed via the store on the phone. Maybe TMobile can give you a refund or credit (which I doubt) but you will not see any automatic application transfer thats for certain.

can you send pics to ppl on aim?
May 1st, 2009 at 2:16 pm
How is the browser? I currently have a G1 but pre-ordered the LX. How does it compare to say the G1 or iPhone’s browser? Does it seem more like a smartphone than previous sidekicks or does it still seem to be just a messaging phone?
May 3rd, 2009 at 7:28 pm
I would be interested in your phone! I can explain how to buy mobile phones here? XD
