Here's some fresh video of T-Mobile's new Sidekick LX (2009) taken at last night's launch event in Manhattan. The user interface walkthrough was assembled by PJ Jacobowitz and narrated by our Mobile Analyst, Sascha Segan. We give you a look at the good stuff: the Web browser, Facebook, and Twitter applications. Check out Sascha's article on PCMag.com for an in depth look at the new device.
T-Mobile really launched this thing with the youth-oriented respect it deserves by throwing a slammin' party: They had an open bar, a tremendous nacho bar, a hot dog/sausage cart, a giant electric toy racecar track, Pac Man and NBA Jam Arcade games and a really good looking crowd (probably since the lifestyle publications were invited). Here's to looking forward to the next Sidekick launch party!
I'm kind of impressed at the next generation of Web browsing and mobile surfing technologies appearing all the time on new mobile phones. The Sidekick wouldn't call itself a smartphone, but it really does behave like one.
Now if only SOME carriers would get their act together and carry more of them, I'd be happy.

Wow - that really is feature rich.
