It often has trouble loading ads which can be a blessing but can handle fairly complex javascript. The browser has a nice Mini-View option where you can preview a page and select the section you want to zoom in to view, a feature much like the preview option in Opera Mini or the S60 browser.

The Sidekick browser supports history, cookies and caching. No terribly new changes on the organizer front: besides the phone book, you also get a calendar, Notes up to 50 notes and To-Do List up to 50 tasks.

With an increasing number of celebrities seen with BlackBerry phones, the Sidekick camp needs to do something to jazz up the device and update the software.

The new Sidekick aims to do just that. With the ability to create a new look for your phone any time you wish on a smaller and slimmer body, the Sidekick becomes attractive again to young mobile users who consistently look for way to express themselves. The software update added some features that many Sidekick users coveted for years.

If you are a Sidekick loyalist and have any older device, the new Sidekick is definitely worth a look. Pro: Smaller size and inter-changeable covers are good moves to attract users. Large screen is nice for gaming and viewing photos and watching videos. The browser is much improved and displays full HTML sites well in most cases.

Video resolutions: x , Audio: Built-in mic, speaker and 3. Comes with a MB card. Also unique to the is the ability to custom-design your own external shells at sidekickshells. The Sidekick continues the tradition of nicely designed and intuitive apps, like email, instant messaging, picture messaging and video messaging.

The Sidekick started out as a data communicator-something it still continues to do well-but now can be safely called just a "communicator" because of its more well-rounded features. The call quality was very good-loud and clear with only minimal background noise-and thanks to its newly reduced size, speaking on it is much less like holding a plastic taco up to your ear.

The battery is only mAh compared to the LX's mAh, which may partially explain the reduced size. The Sidekick has never been known to take great photos or video, but the video on the is decent enough for an MMS, and the photos are only slightly blurrier and darker than the iPhone's. Not fantastic, but manageable. The most important bit of information that you want to know is if we'd recommend it to T-Mobile users.

If you're a current Sidekick owner and you're happy with the platform, you'll want to upgrade to this for its improved features and reduced size. If you're not a current Sidekick user but have always eyeballed the series, it's a good time to jump on.
