also provides improved video capabilities as well as GPS-enabled Live
Search. It can show Flash therefore you can watch YouTube Videos.

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.

"Our Sidekick customers are going to be blown away by the new features
this device is offering, which is why it's so exciting to give them the
exclusive opportunity to get it before anyone else," said Denny Marie
Post, chief marketing officer, T-Mobile USA, Inc. "Today's Sidekick
customers are avid communicators, with three out of four accessing
social networking sites on their device at least once per week. The
real-time notifications, tied with 3G speeds and GPS, will provide
customers with the best experience of any Sidekick before, and we expect
it will exceed their expectations."
