    Talk about messaging phones and you’ll inevitably get to the Sidekick.  T-Mobile’s screen-flipping feature-phone has a history of offering smartphone style push email, web access and social networking with a straightforward UI; now there’s a new addition to the family tree, in the shape of the Sidekick LX 2009 .  The simple name-change over last year’s model hides a number of improvements, however, not least a stunning display, 3G and GPS.  Are they enough to...

    So I've had a Sidekick since waaaaaaay back when they released the color. That is how much I have loved these phones. Needless to say I picked up this phone as soon as it came out. I was immediately in love with the new design as well as the AMAZING HD screen... So beautiful. I quickly noticed that this thing CHUGS.
