In the event that Sidekickgate didn’t scare you right out of using anything involving Danger, you’ve got a bit of good news this week — if you’ve got an LX 2009 model, anyhow — on news that a new firmware has been pushed out over-the-air. Details are thin, but it looks like the biggies here are support for backing up contacts to T-Mobile’s Mobile Backup service (independently of the normal sync that happens to Danger’s servers) and a host of bug fixes, which are always a pleasant thing for improving the user experience in the field. It’s hard to say how many LX 2009s are still in active use and how many more are realistically gonna be sold, but yeah — if we had to guess, the writing’s on the wall for Sidekick as we know it, so at this point, cherish every FOTA like it’s your last.
