Sidekick owners haven’t received much love lately, especially since there have been rumors of the myTouch Slide taking its place in Magenta’s heart. According to T-Mobile, a new Sidekick LX (2009) OTA (Over-the-air) Update is rolling out starting today and will gradually make its way to the masses by March 8th. The OTA is expected to improve 3G connectivity. Once Sidekick LX (2009) owners accept the update, their devices will reboot so don’t freak out when that happens. After the reboot, LX 2009 owners will receive a TMail on their Sidekick handsets with the details of the update.
Any Sidekick LX 2009 owners receive the update yet? Let us know in the comments!

With the Sidekick Outage debacle behind us, Microsoft/Danger is making sure the data loss “incident” doesn’t occur again. Reports are coming in that Sidekick LX 2009 users are receiving an Over-the-Air (OTA) Update today (OS 5.0/270115). According to Hiptop3, the OTA is a combination of bug fixes and the new Mobile Backup support T-Mobile announced a while back. The OTA should also rectify problems such as freezing and crashing, many Sidekick LX 2009 users incurred. The OTA might cause your Sidekick to hard reset, so there is no need to worry, since all your data should be backed up to Danger’s servers. After the update, Sidekick LX 2009 users can feel secure, since your address book will be backed up to T-Mobile’s servers as well! Some screenshots of Mobile Backup Support in action after the jump! Let us know if you’ve received the OTA and whether or not you’ve noticed any other significant changes in the comments!

Hot on the heels of yesterdays post showing the Sidekick LX09 showing up in the T-mobile’s inventory, today we get word of the very same device, PV300 passing through the halls of the FCC. This device of course comes complete with the AWS 3G bands we all know and love for our beloved magenta and is just one more piece of the puzzle offering up a brand new sidekick to magenta very very soon. Not much else to report here or showcasing things we don’t already know but if reading through FCC docs suits your fancy, hit the link!

Well we already had some pretty good ideas that a new sidekick was on the way. So that being said this isn’t really breaking news as much as it further confirmation that a device is on the way. Our tipster turned in a screen shot from T-mobile’s inventory system showing the sidekick LX09 ready and waiting for arrival. Its more of a tease than anything else as expectations still place the devices arrival May 13th of next month. Still, its always nice to see little screen shots like this to build up a little more excitement.
