Design and Build
The Sidekick LX features a solid and somewhat bulky design, with dimensions measuring 129.5 x 60 x 22 mm and a weight of 162 grams. This weighty feel contributed to its robust nature, allowing users to feel as though they were handling a substantial device. The physical QWERTY keyboard, revealed through a unique swivel screen mechanism, catered to messaging enthusiasts who prioritized tactile feedback over the nascent touchscreens of the era. The phone was available in a sleek black color, providing a classic and professional appearance suitable for various tastes.
