Two new Sidekicks coming to T-Mobile this summer?

TmoNews is claiming to have the scoop on not one, but two new Sidekick devices. The first, codenamed the SK Gekko, is scheduled to launch on the 27th of July, while the second, codenamed the "Sidekick Aspen", is currently slated for a July 30th launch. We’re not betting one of these will be the red Sidekick Slide we told you about a little while ago, so yeah. While we wouldn’t put it past T-Mo and ~~Danger~~ ~~Microsoft~~ Danger to launch a 3G-capable Sidekick, it seems unlikely given the recent LX and Slide releases. That said, we’ll continue to dig up more info on these as it becomes available.

Yea, the Sidekick train is getting boring, I think. It was a good ride, and still proving to be decent now, but it’s running out of road.

TmoNews said that they MIGHT be coming out with two new sidekicks, or there are two different codenames for one phone, not that there would definitely be two.

If the sidekick slide wasnt made by motorola, and had wm6.1 standard, and wasnt purple or pink, and didnt have the speaker on the screen in the middle of the phone making it super awkward to hold, and had 3g and wifi, and didnt turn off at random times when you open or close it, and had a higher rez and larger screen… i think i would buy one

All I have to say is WHACK!!!!!! Sidekicks are boring and lame. T-mobile has no good phones at all, I think I’m going to switch to AT&T.

Yeah tmobile needs some better phone like all the other carriers. I like the tomobile plans alot, but there phones just don’t compare, they have no touch screens or any cool things like that, i think im gonna switch too.
