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.

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.

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.

Believe it or not, apparently its true.
Lots of people are reporting having already received the OTA, which bumps users up to OS version 4.6. Videos are starting to be posted on YouTube by people showing off the sidekick’s new video capabilities.
The OTA was originally scheduled to roll out starting the 25th. So what happened guys, decided not to keep us in suspense any longer? Somebody press the wrong button down at Danger? =X
Well to be honest, I really don’t give a fuck. I just cant wait till I receive it, as I own an LX.
Please be soon, I dont know how much longer I can wait T-Mo…

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.

The new Tony Hawk Special Edition has been announced. Some say they don’t like it, but it looks pretty hot to me. It supposedly will have some type of skateboard-type feel to it. Word. Release date: July 9th for current T-Mobile customers, July 16 for all others.
The phone will come shipped with better bluetooth, and video — making it the first sidekick to do so. And T-Mobile has said that “this summer” an OTA will be sent out that will allow all LX’s to do video, something that I am dying to receive ever since I heard the news. Thanks alot T-Mo for being oh so specific. Peachy.
My guess is that we will all receive the OTA on July 9th. I’ll bet money on it. Mark these words.
