The "Communities" section of the Sidekick LX has one-click access
to the most popular social networking sites, bringing Facebook, MySpace
and Twitter directly to the customer via customized applications that
update automatically and put notifications directly on the Sidekick LX home
screen.
GPS-enabled Live Search lets Sidekick LX customers map their current location and search for a nearby coffee shop or café, share favorite spots with friends via integration with Sidekick's messaging capabilities, or view additional search tabs to quickly check real time traffic, gas prices or movie showtimes.
The new Sidekick LX also delivers an improved multimedia experience with a 3.2 megapixel camera and enhanced video capabilities that make it easy for users to record and share pictures and videos on popular social networking sites. Support for audio and video streaming lets users view and listen to their favorite online content from sites like YouTube. And with the sharpest screen to-date for a Sidekick, watching streaming videos on the Sidekick LX is easy on the eyes.
This next-generation Sidekick LX maintains the popular features that define the Sidekick family including the intuitive user interface -- now with a built-in self-help application, the iconic swivel screen and a full QWERTY keyboard. The new device also provides personalization options including the ability to record your own ringtone or receive and save them via e-mail.
