I have an LX…with my update. The same thing is found in the Gekko/08 as well as the SK Tony Hawk. The Gekko/08 is like a decoy for the new Sidekick coming in December…or so i’ve heard, that’s why the 08 is just what it’s called…”the 08″ and funny enough they brought this out and called it that when it’s so close to the end of the year.

Danger and Sharp created the best marketing strategy for this whole SK craze. Notice they would bring out a new Sidekick with a set of features and then bring out another one with just about the same features except for the changing of the name and the look. So this is just a stupid scheme to keep buying and comparing, and adding crappy features little at a time instead of bringing out full straight-forward phones all in one shot.

I mean damn, Sharp/Danger need to get inspiration from Nokia’s N-Series phone line. Seriously.

here’s the deal with gekko: I ordered mine today thru employee phone site. I’ve never owned a sk b4. always had windows mobile or blackberry. the reason I ordered it is because the gekko is the next generation of sidekicks. its NOT the next id. its actually the best sk as far as stock features goes. yes it is cheaper. yes it is better and smaller than lx. the reason its cheaper though is this crazy little thing called “attracting new customers”. everyone complains tmobile isn’t rolling out devices to compete with iphone. the thing is : who has actually used an iphone? I have. over rated. its apple so it automatically sucks. personally the blackberry bold makes the iphone seem like nokia 6010. but what tmobile is doing with the gekko (and blackberry kickstart) starting september is launching high_end phones for a lot less than iphones or razr2′s(which don’t really do anything. the reason is when you have decent devices that anyone can afford and also have unlimited data and messaging plans to go with those devices, you’re gonna attract way more subscribers than say att who charges 300 bucks for an all touchscreen phone that u can’t put insurance on and has costlier data plans than any other phone around, yeah I think tmobile knows what they’re doing. I think in 8 months we will all be lookin back on this post and laugh. and the reason is there are actually people out there who don’t realize tmobiles smarter than att or verizon or any of those other companies. tmo’s taking all the customers who were rejected for bad credit by those 2 douche companies and giving them service with no deposit plus high end sidekicks and blackberries and giving them a chance to rebuild their credit. not to mention tmo is already begun launching 3G, android phone in october, iphone killer(and believe me, it will KILL iphone, and you CAN put insurance on it AND remove the battery. take that steve jobs, you nerdy lil bitch. sidekick gekko starts the next line of sk’s. the last 10 models are now obsolete. tmo will be #1 network by 2010. its already fastest growing…… you’ll see.

I was searching and someone said for LX users nor to buy the new phone due to there making a Video App for the LX. It sou8nds good to me because I own a Sidekick ID. It’s customizable in the fact that u can change it”s colors like the ID. Plus a kid that I know said u can put a pic on the back casing of anything you want, but i”m sure if u know the right website u can do that with any phone. I know most camers sport a 1.3 megapixel phone and most people are like ohhhhh 2.0 megapixels but 2.0 megapixels isn”t all that good. Will the new Sidekick have Flash? I’m wondering if there making 2 versions of the phone? 1 being an LX version the other being a Slide version? I’d enjoy it if they made an LX version with a slide up screen. Cuz i am not a big fan of the swivel screen. I wonder what all the phone will come packaged with? Heard instead of coming with the Grey casing it”ll come with a yellow casing. I love my Sidekick my only problem with mines is it loses the Data Signal so I can’t IM or Go on websites. Sidekick is a really cool phone. I like the Iphone but shit all that takes is 1 good drop and it’s done. I should know. once you crack an Iphone screen you can”t even power it off unless you just let the battery die. It would be nice if they gave the new Sidekick more Memory Support. I mean who can”t easily fill up a 4gb card? Should make it have up to 8gb support. Hopefully they make it louder cuz my ass can’t hear my shit rining when it be in my pocket in the case while i’m at work. I mean look at the fact. Nowadays you see more people with Sidekicks then Iphone. I work at a bowling alley and i’ve only seen maybe 3 people come in with Iphones. I see alot of Sidekicks. And it’s not all kids that have them.

I wish they would just add video capturing on the LX.
But I honestly don’t really care if I can change the colors of plastic parts.

I’m probably going to get an LX instead, though.
