However there's not much flexibility in the settings, and we particularly missed white balance options considering there's no built-in flash. Thanks to the horizontal orientation, taking pictures is pretty much similar to holding a conventional digital camera. Round the back, the 2008 sports a two-megapixel camera for photos or video. Speed is fair, though it can lag if you have a particularly well-packed contacts list and lots of media. New to the OS is Quick Find, which is a cross-app search tool replacing all the individual search functions. Sometimes we would over-roll and skip over the menu selection we were aiming for it felt more accurate, if slower, using the D-pad. The trackball navigation is not so successful, however, and feels a little imprecise. A combination of great texturing and just the right amount of spacing adds up to very comfortable texting. The QWERTY keyboard has always been the Sidekick's not-so-secret weapon, and the 2008 is no different. Even with the pop-off casings, though, we didn't experience creaks or undue flexing, leaving us confident about the 2008's build quality. Submit a photo or other image at pay $14.99 (or $9.99 each if you order two) and you'll never confuse your Sidekick for anybody else's. T-Mobile went a little bit further this time by allowing users to customize their own shell design online. Many Sidekick users will be happy to find that the Sidekick 2008's shell is swappable like the early Sidekick iD. Manufactured by Sharp, the LCD backlight is strong and surprisingly resistant to sun glare. We found it a lot easier to nudge the screen up compared to the Sidekick LX, and seasoned users will have no problem popping it out using just one hand. The Sidekick 2008 has the traditional screen hinge too a little nudge to the corner of the screen pushes the display panel up and around to sit above the QWERTY keyboard. It's now just 2.6-inches, but it keeps the same WQVGA 400 x 240 resolutions as the Sidekick LX. Smaller than earlier models, measuring 4.7 x 2.3 x 0.7-inches and weighing 5.3oz, which means the display has had to shrink too.
