Sidekick LX vs Sidekick Slide


Still haven’t taken the plunge and bought one of the new Sidekicks? Still not sure which one is the right one for you? Silently cursing Danger for being so on top of things that they released two new devices at once? (It’s certainly cost us some sleep trying to keep up) Well BGR might be able to help. They’ve got a quick comparison of the Sidekick LX and the Sidekick Slide. If you want the nitty gritty details, check out the article. Their ultimate conclusion:
“If you’re a hardcore Sidekick user you’ll want to grab the LX. The keyboard and screen alone make this a win. The Sidekick Slide isn’t really beneath the LX on the totem pole, so if you want an awesome phone, but love the Danger OS all in a small device, you will definitely want to pickup the Slide.” We basically agree. If you’re a hardcore Sidekick user, the screen on the LX will blow you away, along with keeping all the good stuff of the Sidekick 3 but squeezing it into a sexier body. If you’re looking for something small that will fit in your pocket better and don’t send a bajillion emails/im/txts/etc a day, then the Slide is cheaper, smaller, and probably more your style. via BGR image source via Appletech [Originally fromwww.hiptop3.com ]

Question: Why did you choose the the LX over the Slide? The Slide over the LX.

Writer #1: Because it has the original swivel screen, which makes it amazing to being with.
So just for fun. How many of you have the LX? How many of you have the Slide? Which one do you personally think with your opinion is the better sidekick and why did you choose it?

Writer #2: Well I chosed the lx.. before i started with the d.wade sk3 & .. i felt like i had to keep up with the joneses..so i went out and got the lx.. its way cooler than my friends slide. the mood lights makes it a better feayture. aslo picture message, voice reocrder, smaller camera.. the classic swiver bigger bright clearer screen. ease to customer. its just the best ive seen t-mobile to yet. only 1 thing missing is video...and zoom on the camera.. but other than that.... the LX is way better than the slide!

The reason why I choose the Slide over the LX.

(I purchased the sidekick slide the day it was released and i really love the phone. Even though it lacks a bigger screen, it has a more clearer and louder speaker. More built it memory. 128MB compared to the LX 64MB. Much more lighter, looks the price of a 278 dollar phone! i did not understand why the LX front plastic parts was not shined & glossed like Slides but never the less that screen is amazing including the battery life on LX. I bought the Slide because it was a different, it slide up instead of swiveled! I love how t-mobile offered two sidekicks so the customers have an option between this and that phone. [[they should do that more often!]] the Slides battery doesn't last as long as the LX does but as long as it is not as ridiculously short lasting than the sidekick 3, i can bare with it! Besides the specs, i knew everybody around my area would have the LX, so i bought the Slide to be different.) (LX: Talk: 6.8 hr Standby: 96 hr = 4 days) (Slide:Talk: 5.9 hr Standby: 86 hr = 3.6 days) (SK3:Talk: 4.5 hr Standby: 72 hr = 3 days)

Conclusion

Choosing between both phones was kind of difficult because each phone had a good and bad about it. Ranging from specifications of the phone to price. It was about your personal opinion which phone was better to you. Some bought the Slide because its cheaper than the LX but i bought because it unique. Its a new style to the sidekick family. So, which phone did you choose and why?

Let me start off by sayin dat da slide is OK but not good enough. THe Lx is way better then the slide. The lx has a bigger screen wen the slide is stuck with the small screen that looks kind of like the small screen that the sk3 has. Also wats the point of having a sideKICK if you cant KICk it?? the slide is like a side-slide. the lx also has mood lights wich the slide lacks. lets close this by sayin that the lx has more style than the slide because it does. =]
