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.

    I agree unless they do some major upgrades to the sidekick, such as a touch screen, upgrading the camera and expanding the internet i’m not spending another dime on future sidekicks unless they do it. I mean they could stick to the roots and make the keyboard pad touch screen and the screen that kicks out touch screen too that means remove the tracball and the square pad and expand it like that. IT WOULD BE AWESOME!! The sidekick would definetly kick some iphone a** if this were done. But i agree tmobile needs to stop riding it out so long i’m starting to get dissapointed. They’re attracting the little kids instead of the gadget crazy population. The iphone 3g sold out the first day. Imagine the sidekick incorporating what i just stated it would sell out for weeks!! First of its kind that way.

    sidekicks r pure crap they never really stood out 2 me they r just refurbished sidekick 1’s with a camera n a new function. At this rate tmobile is guna kill off their only potential weapon. After all all their phones are cheap knocks of prior versions they already released hopefully the sidekick 4 IS their stand out phone att has their iphone sprint has the instinct verizon has the voyeger when will tmobile ante up there sidekick n make it worth my damn 400?
