T-Mobile Sidekick LX -- Flip the Screen 'Round

Catch the Sidekick LX's screen just so to flip it around and up, revealing the QWERTY keyboard underneath. Sharp manufactures the Sidekick; given Sharp's display prowess, it makes sense that the high-quality, 3-inch, WQVGA (400-by-240-pixel) display would draw on Sharp's Aquos LCD technology. You can customize the device's alert lights--which include the trackball positioned at the right--to illuminate depending on the activity (for example, when you have an incoming SMS, MMS, IM, e-mail, or phone call). Sharp equipped the slide with support for up to 4GB of microSD memory (a 128MB card comes included). The unit also has a built-in 1.3-megapixel camera with flash. Additionally, an integrated MySpace application (delivered over the air) is part of the Sidekick's instant-messaging experience. Messaging and MySpace are huge components of the Sidekick: According to T-Mobile, 85 percent of all Web page views on the Sidekick are to MySpace.com, and typically more than 1000 IMs are sent per month.
