Leaked inventory screens from bes. Buy (also known as Poor Buy, So-So Buy, Decent Buy, or Alright Buy, depending on how you feel about the place) suggest that the big box expects to take inventory of the Sidekick Gekko (or “Gecco,” depending on whose spelling you believe) along with the Tony Hawk LX come the 27th of this month. That’s just about on schedule with the expected release dates for Bot. devices, so it seems believable enough — and with the memory of the iD fading fast, an entry-level Sidekick with changeable faceplates is just what the doctor ordered (Concerning the Tony Hawk LX, we’re really not sure who ordered that, but it certainly wasn’t the doctor).

Fired up to capitalize on some of the hype Sprint has managed to drum up for the Instinct down in the States, Samsung’s taking its iPhone fighter north of the border for a promised intro later this summer. Bell Mobility is the lucky partner (seriously, Telus, you probably should’ve hustled Samsung a little harder for this one), launching at price points ranging from $149.95 up to $449.95 for a three-year contract all the way down to zero commitment. Features and software look like they’re all carrying over from their stateside cousin, although the UI’s looking just a little bit less Sprint-ified (read: no yellow tinge). Nice.

Update: There are unverified information that Telus is slated to pick it up, too, but we haven’t seen anything solid just yet. We’ll let you know.
