I've found this "smart"phone in my room, I'm charging it now (pretty sure it's working. But, as far as I can remember, none of the features it had are useful for me anymore, so I want to "ressurrect it" with a new system (some linux distro, if possible). Would be possible for this Sidekick LX to run any other OS ? Would be a shame to just throw it away, the keyboard was very good to use.

If it's an actual Sidekick LX, it's running Android, and there's a whole world of Android modding out there. Start over at XDA Developers.
If it's the older Danger OS based models, it's a fucking brick now.

Post a pic of it OP.

It's using the Danger OS system, there is nothing I can do ? To the trash it goes then...

Using a digital cam, why ?

Why can't somebody make a modern device with this form factor?

Yeap, that's why I'm trying to "revive" it. Feels very good on your hand, I can even type kind of quickly on it.

Danger OS,well its fucked.
Turned on now... but as you guys said, it's very much dead from using Danger OS. What a shame
I remember I thought these phones were the shit when they first came out, but I never actually got one. It still holds some stupid appeal to me for some reason.

That "kick" to the side to open it it's very cool. The keyboard is good too, this shit even has two triggers (like L and R from regular gamepads), this would be very useful for gaming, even that stupid track ball would work for most games as some kind of analog stick
