Apr 19, 2009 gps navigation, gps phones, t-mobile

We had already mentioned a new 3G GPS enabled Sidekick LX coming soon this year but now T-Mobile has made it official.

Before we go into details lets mention that it is available for pre-order for existing T-Mo customers and will come out for the rest on May 13th. The upgrade price is $200 after a $50 mail-in-rebate.

There’s no GPS navigation application mentioned in the press release but only local search:

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.

Some other specs and features of the new Sidekick LX 3G include:

• High-speed Web browsing with 3G support
