Feeling a little left out, non-T-Mobbers? Keep your chin. up, because the Tony Hawk cut of the Sidekick LX is at this time available to each and every one of you after a limited release exclusively to current subscribers (not the first time they’ve engaged that tactic). Expect to shell out $299.99 on contract after rebates for the privilege of being just as cool as your favorite skateboarder — just don’t go trying your luck at the half-pipe at this time, you hear?

The riff raff need not apply just yet (you know who you are), but current T-Mobile subscribers can at this time get in on Tony Hawk’s totally tubular Sidekick LX, featuring the skateboarding mogul’s branding and a healthy dose of “grip tape” texture around back. Pricing will vary depending on your upgrade situation, but most folks will hopefully have an opportunity to pay less than the $449.99 full retail sticker. Right at this time T-Mobile itself appears to be the only source for the phone, but bes. Buy should be coming online shortly if that’s how you prefer to roll.

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).
