Hey guys! Sorry i haven’t been around to update in a hot minute, I’ve been busy and i tend to get lazy with things easily. I was actually about to start a blog/website devoted to the sidekick when i thought, hey, why the fuck am i doing this when I had that blog over at wordpress!? And to be honest, it was totally stupid of me to abandon this blog. From my first post to the last (before this one) it had grown so much. Every week had more hits than the last, and by the fourth week (when i abandoned) it had almost a thousand hits. I think itd be easy to bring this page back up on top. So expect me to start blogging again

New Sidekick Gekko exclusive pics and info
Wow, today I visited the local T-Mobile store, needing a new charger for my LX. While they didn’t have any information for me regarding the OTA, the sales rep was crazy over it and i quote, “Oh my god oh my god it’s so pretty, you have to get it!” Well, I definantly must say its cute, looks like a mix of the LX and iD. It felt so light in my hands, and I’m glad to hear it’s made by Sharp again. The lady almost gave me a heart attack when she said “Samsung — I mean Sharp!” Needless to say it said Sharp on its back. It felt so sleek, and is completely black, minus your gel casing (hard casing, btw).
They told me that they have them in stock already, but that I wouldn’t be able to buy one until the 30th (!!). But here’s what’s good — they let me take pictures of it! There’s two photos, one open and one closed. Click read full to see the second.
Deutsche Telekom (T-Mobile) planning on acquring SprintNextel?
Ah, im so tired of everything i report on this website being just rumor.
Boy Genius Report states it might be likely to happen, according to Merrill Lynch.
Hmm, makes me wonder what they would do with that CDMA network
especially since it has more customers than T’s native network.
would it just ditch that highspeed EV-DO? This makes about as much sense as the SprintNextel merger. Could this be T-Mobile’s answer to 3G?
Sidekick Gekko released later this month (!?) – Info on Tony Hawk LE sidekick release too. All info here :)
As of NOW, multitudes of pictures and stats of the fifth generation sidekick have been leaked all over the internet, and release is supposed to be soon, very soon. The only source yet to report on release states “later this month”(!!) though this seems unlikely, with the Tony Hawk LE sidekick on the edge of release and already available to current T-Mobile customers. But according to sources, the Tony Hawk sidekick will be available to new customers July 16 and the (name not yet completely known) sidekick to be released on the 28 (tentative release date)
Sounds too good to be true. That’s cos it probably is.
Verizon INpulse takes a step back towards sanity
Well, when Verizon’s INpulse service first came out, it was great. I even considered it. A dollar a day got you unlimited talk & text to other Verizon customers, plus unlimited nights to anyone else, and just 10c per minute to the others. Well, first they dropped the texting, and then as of Last Thursday, they just went completely down the shitter.
Well, I have some good news for y’all (god i cant believe i just typed that, i hate that word with a passion). Verizon is offering a new option for its prepaid customers.
UT Starcom (Audiovox) says to mobile division: to hell with you!
Well, basically. UT Starcom is selling off its mobile counterpart to a group of private investors. Probably the most important peice of information is that UT Starcom phones will still be continue to be made, though under a different name and obviously ownership. So dont worry if your a cricket or virgin mobile fanboy – you still got plenty more to come!
Regarding the T-Mobile OTA; too many confused people.
There are so many stupid people out there, no offense if you’re one of them. Lets just clarify some facts -
- Yes, everyone who owns a sidekick LX will recieve the update. Its already started rolling out, and it is sent to all phones in random order, so there’s no way to tell exactly when you’re going to receive it.
- There is currently no information on when or if sidekick slide users will receive any type of OTA. My guess is that it’s not possible for video or anything else with the hardware, but the other OS updates should still be capable, though as of now I have found no information on if that’s ever even gonna happen.
Blog News/Etc.
Sorry I havent updated in a hot minute guys, but my computer’s been broken. Right now im posting from my sister’s. For starters, I’m removing the site mirror on blogger. It was done as an alternative, to see which would become more popular, and in return abandon the least popular one. Well, for starters nobody is viewing the blogger one, and its too much effort to run two blogs. Alot of people were telling me that blogger is bettere than wordpress too, so part of it was for me to find out on my own which platform was the best, but I must say I love wordpress more hands down.
