Switching to T-mobile, from a crappy pre-paid Virgin Mobile phone.

I know that i'm getting a sidekick, because they're the only phones that appeal to me, now, before I had a sidekick, it was a ID, and it was OKAY, but was clanky sometimes, I heard they improved the browser on the LX/Slide...

Now, This is where i'm torn, which to get, the LX has more features and better battery time, yet the slide get's alot more attention. (My school attention system is based on phones) Now, I love the lx, because it has the rubber keys, a wide screen, the sides light when it's ringing, the swing is incredible, and the it's made by sharp. I've had all my TV's made by sharp, and i've never had a problem with them.

Now the slide, is a slider, my friend has one and the top slid right off. Yet it gets attention, it's a very unique color combination, but the keys are plastic, and get hard to text on after a while... It looks incredible, but it's made by motorola and after having my razr, rizr, krazr, and 2 others shit out on me, I'm having my doubts with that company.

So, Which sidekick should I get?

Please don't say previous sidekicks cause the only semi-good one is the Sidekick II which is outdated, and don't say get a blackberry, because I had the curve, 8800 world, and the pearl with verizon, and I hate the BB operating system.

My friend had one, and I just didn't like the layout of it and no swivel screen.

Whats the use of having a Sidekick, when the signature design is the Screen?

They were supposed to call it the Slidekick, but never did. Isn't the layout the exact same of that of the lx?

Like the buttons on the side are different. I've had three sidekicks in the pass, and I just didn't like this one.

The whole sidekick fad is going to be over soon and you're going to be stuck with a 2 year contract (if you really want one then get prepaid cause when a new cellphone that everyone obsessed over comes out, you're not going to be able to get it unless it's t-mobile)

Past sidekicks were all a bag of fail, besides the SKII, so, have you had any experiance with the LX to say it's better?
Is it very good?

Yeah, the SKII was the best, it was my first one. Yeah, I have had experience.  I think its pretty good. It has a better camera and faster Internet.
