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.
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!
Samsung Instinct produces sexy jam
Anyone see the new Samsung Instinct commercial on TV? I’m totally digging it. Spontaneous dance party! woot. I’m totally gonna download this on limewire and add it to my iTunes. hehe
Palm now offering Centro for $299 unlocked
Okay, maybe this isn’t the news of the year. And im guessing that probably alot of people out there are really not gonna care, but I cant fucking wait to get this phone, and I was going to buy it off ebay or something, but this is much cheaper and much more reliable. Unfortunately it only comes in one ugly color, but I guess I’ll just have to deal. Click here to buy.
Verizon begins offering My Circle after purchase of Alltel
I think we all saw this coming, after all, Verizon wouldn’t just push away all the greatness of alltel into a dust-laden corner. I had a feeling Verizon would do something like this.
Well okay, maybe they didn’t exactly come right out and offer My Circle, but it’s a baby step. On Verizon business plans, you can call your 5 favorite numbers for only an additional $4.99/mo. Sounds pretty snazzy to me, and alot more simpler than T-Mo’s MyFaves.
Wondering when it will be offered to all Verizon customers? So do I.

Yes, you’re hearing right. If your jumping up and down and so excited that your veins are popping out of your skin, then you’re probably as about as excited as me. So look, sometime after June 25th you will receive the OTA, it is random so don’t expect your phone to go YAY at midnight. There are a ton of other features too, check out this report from Boy Genius Report for the whole scoop.
