I’ve been a fan of the Sidekick for years now and, like everyone else, I was disappointed when the latest devices (LX and Slide) from T-Mobile were sans video recording capability. It was basically a slap in the face if you ask me. Who releases four new devices in the span of a year without video recording on any of them? Hello! It’s 2008 not 1998.
In any case, Sidekick LX owners will finally get the much-needed feature via OTA beginning June 25. Of course, you can pick up the Tony Hawk edition, which comes with the latest firmware pre-installed. But video recording isn’t the only new feature. Sorry Slide owners, you’re SOL.
