We just got a hold of some internal T-Mobile snap shots, and any Sidekick will truly appreciate them. They detail the much-rumored Sidekick Gekko, from here on out known as the… wait for it… almost there… T-Mobile Sidekick 2008! That’s it, guys. Creative name right? In all seriousness, it looks like the word about customizing the shells on the device look to be true. It’s an “entry-level” device, and as such, we reckon it won’t break the bank. Here are the official specs on the T-Mobile Sidekick 2008:
- Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE
- 2 megapixel camera
- 2.6″ WQVGA screen
- Video recording
- Stereo A2DP Bluetooth
- Standard Sidekick features
Couple more shots after the jump along with some more info!

Weird… Why do those specs sound like a better Sidekick LX but with a smaller screen.

@richard
Hi hater. Let me break it down for you since you’re too ignorant to read things, ‘mmkay?
“Simply called the T-Mobile Sidekick, the new device has a model year of 2008 which will help you delineate it from Sidekick devices, like the T-Mobile Sidekick LX.”

Oh boy, another *yawn* cutting edge device from T-Mobile! Waiting patiently for my contract to end in August so I can actually get a reasonably modern device.

the sidekick is probably tmobile’s biggest hit. why would they stop selling a phone known for having the best instant messaging clients and one of the best keyboards?

“Sidekick 2008″ is a terrible name given the complete mouthbreathing douchebags that actually use these things.
“Tony Hawk Limited Edition” was way better.
