Sidekick Gekko/Gecco/Aspen to be branded as Sidekick 2008?
Posted by Will on Thursday, July 10th, 2008 at 5:49 pm under Rumors, T-Mobile, Sharp, Devices
The latest rumor regarding the oft-speculated Sidekick Gekko/Gecco/Aspen (depending on which particular rumor you’re thinking about) comes to us wrapped in completely unsubstantiated packaging.
Word on the street is that the Sidekick Gekko will be called the “Sidekick 2008″ when it’s released on T-Mobile’s network. As expected, some leaked pictures show the Sidekick Gekko sporting a variety of swappable color-panels, reminiscent of the Sidekick iD.
But, why would T-Mobile choose to name its latest HipTop in deference to the year of its launch? Beats us. But, 2008 is halfway over, so the Sidekick 2008 had better launch soon - perhaps later this month?

This is just stupid hype tmoblie tries to build u on sidekicks. Its like the sk id, a crappy cheaper version of the sidekick 3. This time we get a crappier version of the lx. 6 more months before a new sk comes out that will be worth buying

this phone looks really awesome !! i personally think it is better than the LX. ive done a lot of research on this phone and i think im making my way to buying it !! theres video and a new 2.0 megapixel camera !! on the down side the screen is slightly smaller than the LX . the LX scrfeen size is said to be 3inches and the new Sidekick 2008 screen size is said to be 2.6 inches ; not that much of a difference i think !!if you ask me ; i think you should buy this phone ; its cheaper and a lot better than the LX !!

The phone has 128mb of memory vs 64 on the lx. The screen although smaller has the same resolution and looks tighter and clearer as a result. The camera of course is better and the form factor is great.
From a specs standpoint this is not a downgrade. Coming from an lx I can tell you first had losing the flash was no loss as it was pretty much a waste anyways. The 2MP camera is much better flash or no flash.

I’m getting this phone as a upgrade for my sidekick 3 and I have 2 say I’m so excited… I can’t wait 2 ger this phone…
I really like the fact that I can really make it my own…
even tho the screen isn’t as big as the LX screen it really doesn’t matter 2 anyway…
also this phone doesn’t have flash but the flash on the sidekick 3 isn’t that great anyway…
everytime I try 2 take a pic in the dark with the flash on it comes out a greenish yellow color… so no flash doesn’t matter…

imma get the sidekick 2008 and use it with my at&t sim and im gonna enjoy it so much…. just have to buy the phone full price, the only thing that sucks bout that
