To address the numerous emails we’ve received over the past month after T-Mobile officially announced the Sidekick LX asking when it will be available, today is the day. The Sidekick LX is now available starting today from T-Mobile for $299 with discounts. It comes in colors of brown or blue and features a swivel screen and wireless Bluetooth.

The new LX is the upgraded model from the Sidekick 3 with a larger 3-inch QVGA display, 1.3 megapixel camera, an upgraded browser, push email, picture and text messaging, external caller ID and a media player for music but no videos. It also has a microSD card slot and comes with on 128MB card to get you going.

The LX is slightly larger than the Sidekick Slide which will be available in another two weeks, weighing 5.7 ounces at 5.1 inches wide. The battery provides a standby of 4 days and a talk time of up to 6 hours but with the full QWERTY keyboard and large screen the talk time seldom factors in as the Sidekicks are built for texting.
