A number of shots have surfaced of an upcoming Sidekick that we’ve alternately known as the Gekko and Gecco, but the rumor du jour on the naming front is that we’ll actually be calling it “Sidekick 2008″ by the time it launches (later this month if we’re lucky). The grainy photography shows a device looking roughly like what we expect the new model to look like — but more interestingly, it shows the phone wearing a diversity of different shells, some of which rock as much bedazzlement as a Swarovski one-off. Pretty cool. Oh, and don’t bother trying to go to sidekick.com.shells — we did, and it isn’t online yet.

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).
