I've seen one of the best acts of stupidity I've seen in a while. I'll just say 'ebay auction' for now. Good news for all of you T-Mobile fans out there, the Sidekick LX is said to be on it's way. That's right, the next installment of the phone we all know and love. But if you're a sidekick fan, you already knew this for almost a week now.
The Sidekick LX has been showing up in random places for a few weeks now. The other version will be the Sidekick Slide, which seems to be an upgrade of the iD while the LX seems to be an upgrade from the 3. I don't think the specs for the LX have been released. Just from looking at pictures, the Slide is about the same size as the 3, but with a smaller screen. The LX is obviously thinner, and going by the box from an ebay auction(I'll get to that in a minute. That was the stupidity I was talking about), T-Mobile is pushing the fact that it is much thinner having a side view of it on one side of the box showing just how thin it is.
One or both of these are said to be released on October 24th. Links to the Hiptop3.com posts I got this information from will be at the end of the post. All of this information popping up so quickly is leading me to believe it's all true, but who knows, people are crafty these days. Decide for yourself. I'm not sure of the exact date T-Mobile is supposed to be starting this, (it's in the comments on the first link) there seem to be reservation cards that you can pick up from T-Mobile sellers to be kept till October 24th where you can go and give those in so you can purchase this bad boy. My guess is that they have a set amount they're sending to the stores, they know that, and to not waste peoples time having them wait in line and not get one, they're giving these out, and when they run out of those, that's all they'll be getting for the 24th. Nice of them, if i'm right. I know i'd be pissed to wait in like for all that time and find out they didn't have any more by the time I got there.
Now... ON TO THE FUN!! Another Hoptop3.com post cause my eye the other day and i've been watching since. Someone on ebay decided they were going to post a Sidekick LX up for auction. It started off at $600 and has since climbed to $3,780.60 and it still has 7 days left! First, just.... wow. If that were a real auction i'd say, "That's got to be almost 10 times what it's going to retail for a month from now." It seems like a legit auction, but if you look closer, first, nobody is that stupid, just nobody. Second, if you look at the bid history, all of the bidders have extremely similar***names(You'll understand the *** when you look at the bid history. lol). So, my guess is that it's the seller or someone else trying to jack up the price on the auction. But the description does give you some specs that sound pretty good to me.(WiFi! awesome.)
