CG Holiday 2007 Recommendation: Sidekick LX

This piece was originally published in October. We would have also recommended the Slide, but it’s broked.

I have a thing for the iPhone, if you couldn’t tell. But before I drank the Kool-Aid, I was a Sidekick man. What does it mean to be a Sidekick man? It means you give up a lot to get great email and instant messaging services and few, if any, third-party applications and very little freedom. Huh. Kind of like the iPhone, except without the messaging.

So when I got the LX last week, I wasn’t sure I would enjoy it. After all, I had already abandoned the SK3 and SK ID for the charming animations of the iPhone. So what if the iPhone didn’t have native AIM on the iPhone — there were a few apps that kind of worked. So what if the iPhone didn’t have a solid, real keyboard. I could handle that. So what if the iPhone wasn’t one of the best casual messaging phones on the market? It had some good points. Umm… It was covered in chrome?

Kind of dumb of you to leave your adress and everything on here like that, not a wise choice. But, I just gopt the LX because I had to trade my slide in for it. It’s not bad but I prefer the Sidekick Slide.
