"ALL the LX users will be receiving video, not just the TH version. Just found out you can only record up to 20 seconds of video though. 20 seconds. lame."
THAT DOESNT REALLY BOTHER ME CAUSE THE VIDEO QUALITY IS NOT ALL THAT WHEN YOU UPLOAD IT ON YOUTUBE BUT WHAT I AM REALLY LOOKING FOWARD TO IS IMPORTING VIDS ON YOUR KICK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Honestly, Everyone I know that owns an LX (about 15 people) have not gotten the update.

Nobody on this wiki has gotten an update.

1 guy out of thousands of peeps on Poweredbydager claims to have gotten the update.

And when I visit the coporate t-mo store they said we get the update after Tony Hawk edition is released.

If it was random, someone on here or the other sites would have gotten the update.

I begining to believe Tmo.

You should receive the update whenever your LX is on.
VoG- I am beginning to think you're right. Those thoughts crossed my mind a couple days ago, and I was really hoping for otherwise, but it's appearing we were duped. and that kid who "received" it already on pbd? Not so sure if I believe that either.

I WAS TALKING TO ONE OF THE DUDES WHO GOT THE UPDATE ON YOUTUBE AND THIS IT WHAT WAS STATED.......... ''Each update is about 20MB per file....they send it that out to 1000s of sidekicks per hour...do you know how much it would overload the servers (and probably crash them) if they were to send the OTA at one time... ''...........NOT SURE IF THATS TRUE BUT I WAS ALSO THINKING TMO IS TRYING TO RE-ADVERTISE THE LX ESPECIALLY SINCE ITS A HIGH PRICED PHONE AND THEY ARE TRYING TO MAKE SOME EXTRA $$$ OFF THE LX'S BEFORE THE TONY HAWKS LX COMES OUT SINCE THE STREETS ARE BUZZING ABOUT THE VIDEO UDATE ON THE LX.......I'VE SEEN MANY THREADS WHERE PEOPLE WERE LIKE I JUST GOT THE LX AND I CANT WAIT FOR THAT UPDATE OR THOUGHT THE UPDATE WILL BE THERE IF THEY GOT THE PHONE AT THE STORE RIGHT NOW (IDIOTS!!) SO THAT'S WHY I HAVE THAT LITTLE THEORY =)

the update process comes in phases, as mentioned b4 to avoid system/server overload. the 1st phase was only to select LX's which began on 06/17/08 called the Pioneer Stage, to see how the update is accepted on the device. the next phase after taht began on 06/25/08 for the udate but still only a few get them at a time to avoid system issue fro so much data being put out on the danger server (update is from Danger not T-Mobile btw and we have no control over the update process as it is completely randomized ) typical timeframe for the process to complete is roughly 5-6 weeks for all device to receive the update and any new ones as well. same thing happened when the device was 1st up[dated with the Tab Layout for email, if you ever had to replace your lx and had the old way with the folders you eventually got the update with the tabs (or you should) 5  out of 6 found this valuable.

So you got the update? hmmm I highly doubt it.

Tell me what the update has done to AIM messenger?


When I get the update i will believe it.

And I bet everyone on this thread will get it after the Tony hawk release.

yea i have a friend of mine who works for tmobile and he doesnt know alot oabout the sk department because its supposedl completely diff sector of the company and some other bs i didnt care to listen to but i did get soemthign good out of him. The plan goes like this, basically so many ppl have the lx to begin with it would over run network if every1 got it at once so thats not in option and june 25th wasnt a release date it was a confirmation date they have selected a random group of about 250 ppl so send the ota update to in order to check if it crashes or issues if it needs anymore debugged etc. or even if its worth doing the update. At this point they are going to do the update because they have lost so many clients especially for the sidekick market because as a smartphone, lets face it, it sucks. Tmobile knows that they make us pay for everythign even basic shit that shitty samsung phones come with right out of the box. SO in order to prevent them from losing more customers in an already slow market, they are releasing the ota. My friend couldnt tell me if they already started to release it or not but its def coming its also like someone mentioned above to boost sales with the confirmation of the gekko and tony hawk lx coming the 27th. I called up tmobile sidekick dept just cuz i was curious if i can find out anything else and the lady who i spoke to said the update is coming they have already started to send some out and it may take up to an additional 4+ weeks to get it to every sidekick lx customer....so in short we must be patient 1  out of 1 found this valuable.

If any one has gotten the update they will only be a select few, and chances are they arent even aware of what it did or even subscribed to a wiki site like this or a forum. and most likely are devs (danger knows whats imei (device ID) each username uses so we know what user is using waht device to be able to send out the update. and thats whats controled. they also have a dev network that we cant access for new devices like the Gecco that they send the update to as well) So... if any1 received the update during the week of 06/17/08, they are whats called Pioneers, testers if you will, to make sure the device receives the update properly and to make there isnt issues with it implementing the update. 0  out of 1 found this valuable.

See, that makes sense. The 25th wasn't a RELEASE date, it was a CONFIRMATION date. This is ridiculous. and also just goes to show, you can't believe everything you read online, even if it IS from BoyGeniusReport. ;)
So, does anyone think we actually WILL be receiving an update?
