Regarding the T-Mobile OTA; too many confused people.

There are so many stupid people out there, no offense if you’re one of them.  Lets just clarify some facts -

  1. Yes, everyone who owns a sidekick LX will recieve the update.  Its already started rolling out, and it is sent to all phones in random order, so there’s no way to tell exactly when you’re going to receive it.
  2. There is currently no information on when or if sidekick slide users will receive any type of OTA.  My guess is that it’s not possible for video or anything else with the hardware, but the other OS updates should still be capable, though as of now I have found no information on if that’s ever even gonna happen.

T-Mobile OTA already beginning to roll out ?!

Believe it or not, apparently its true.

Lots of people are reporting having already received the OTA, which bumps users up to OS version 4.6. Videos are starting to be posted on YouTube by people showing off the sidekick’s new video capabilities.

The OTA was originally scheduled to roll out starting the 25th. So what happened guys, decided not to keep us in suspense any longer? Somebody press the wrong button down at Danger? =X

Well to be honest, I really don’t give a fuck. I just cant wait till I receive it, as I own an LX.

Please be soon, I dont know how much longer I can wait T-Mo…

Sidekick OTA to roll out June 25

Yes, you’re hearing right. If your jumping up and down and so excited that your veins are popping out of your skin, then you’re probably as about as excited as me. So look, sometime after June 25th you will receive the OTA, it is random so don’t expect your phone to go YAY at midnight. There are a ton of other features too, check out this report from Boy Genius Report for the whole scoop.

New Tony Hawk Edition SideKick, LX OTA coming soon.

16 June 2008 at 4:07 am · Filed under Announcements, Messaging & Multi-Media, Pop Culture, Software ·Tagged , , , ,

The new Tony Hawk Special Edition has been announced. Some say they don’t like it, but it looks pretty hot to me. It supposedly will have some type of skateboard-type feel to it. Word. Release date: July 9th for current T-Mobile customers, July 16 for all others.

The phone will come shipped with better bluetooth, and video — making it the first sidekick to do so. And T-Mobile has said that “this summer” an OTA will be sent out that will allow all LX’s to do video, something that I am dying to receive ever since I heard the news. Thanks alot T-Mo for being oh so specific. Peachy.

My guess is that we will all receive the OTA on July 9th. I’ll bet money on it. Mark these words.
