Noah Answers Your Questions - What's up with the new Sidekicks?

Thank you for all your help!!!!!!!!

A. Nothing's been confirmed by T-Mobile, but it seems *very* likely that the new SK will be out this summer, and most likely in late July - I keep hearing the 27th.  It sounds like the new SK will have features and specs very similar to the LX, and a body/design somewhat similar to the Sidekick iD, with replaceable plastic bumpers and such.  Looks like a somewhat redesigned/updated user interface could be in the works, too.  This is all based on rumor & things I've heard and read, and none of this is confirmed - just to be clear.

The Tony Hawk SK is actually out now, though.  It's an LX with a limited edition housing/external design - the difference between the Tony Hawk and LX will be in the physical/external casing, and not the specs or features.

Hope that helps, and thanks for watching the videos.

Leaning to LX

Tuesday, October 14, 2008BTW, i may just not get either of these all together if a newer sidekick will be released since i know that one will be way ahead of these two. So even if you've just barely caught wind of new features of the new sidekick and broad release date expectancy thatd be great.

Leaning to LX

Monday, October 13, 2008Hey, I love your videos and was introduced to them through you tube. I just want to know with your expertise and experience with the sidekick lx and the new sidekick, I was wondering which you think is the best. Price is no obstacle, and every time i ask someone this at the stores they always say "well, it depends on you". So I'm asking you to please give me the raw truth about which one you would recommend to the general public over the other one.
