The dummy phones of the new T-Mobile Sidekick Gekko / 2008 have been being released. So of course we have some more pictures of the new Sidekick to show you more of what it looks like, and compare it against other Sidekick phones.

Here are some new pictures of the up and coming new Sidekick Gekko. The phone is rumored to be coming out this summer. But with all of the rumors going around about the phone we won’t get are hopes up until we hear the official word from T-Mobile. Anyways the phone seems to have some very cool new looks, and a slightly sleeker more modern shape.

The recently created Limited Edition Tony Hawk Sidekick LX is now available. If you are a current T-Mobile customer you can go to their website and upgrade your phone to the Tony Hawk Sidekick LX. However if you are not yet a T-Mobile customer you will not be able to pick one of these up from the T-Mobile website. But there’s good news you can still find the Tony Hawk Sidekick in our Sidekick Shop.

Update July 16:
T-Mobile has just released the Limited Edition Tony Hawk Sidekick LX for sale to everyone on their website for a price of $299.99.

The two above pictures where sent into hiptop3 from a BestBuy employee. They are screen shots of the internal stock tools from BestBuy, which indicate some details to the release of the T-Mobile Sidekick Gecco.

First off its seems that they may have changed the name from Gecko to Gecco. It also indicates that the release will be on July 27, which we where already aware of, and that the price will be $299.99. Other then that the only thing we can see from the pictures is the size and weight.

Here is a new commercial from T-Mobile promoting their new T-Mobile home phone service.

T-Mobile just announced that they will be launching a new home phone service. This new service will provide current T-Mobile cell phone subscribers the option of getting a home phone plan for only $10 a month. A very nice deal considering the average home spends about $65 a month on their home phone service plan.

The service seems to be as good if not better than what most phone companies are providing. All T-Mobile customers who sign up for the new service will be receiving unlimited nationwide long-distance calling, call waiting, caller ID, three-way conferencing, voicemail, call forwarding and other features. In addition you will also be able to use things associated with your cell phone on you home phone such as CallerTunes. Customers will be able to start subscribing as soon as July 2.
