The Sidekick LX's screen alone makes it a worthy upgrade to the Sidekick 3, and it's a messaging-addict's dream.


Highs: Excellent keyboard and messaging features; sharp, bright screen; good web browser

Lows: Ni WiFi or GPS; bulky; poor camera quality; weak speakers and ear piece

Where to buy:

Introduction

The Sidekick LX is an upgrade to the Sidekick 3, with a vastly improved screen, slimmer profile, video support, and a standard headphone jack. The flip-out screen and roomy QWERTY keyboard are the centerpieces, ensuring that kids will be hammering out messages instead of paying attention to where they're going for some time to come. Prospective iPhone buyers will be disappointed by the Sidekick LX's lack of robust 3rd-party app support and WiFi. But make no mistake: You can't beat the LX for compulsive texters and instant-messaging nuts.
