There will be a new Sidekick device in the market from T-Mobile known as Gekko, and this entry-level model ought to see some improvements that made the original Sidekick hugely popular with the masses when it was released. This GSM device won't support 3G connectivity, stopping at EDGE. It will feature a 2.6" widescreen QVGA display, a full QWERTY keyboard, a 2 megapixel camera and stereo Bluetooth connectivity for wireless freedom. It will also boast removable shells for that greater level of customization, and it remains to be seen whether users can create their own shells or not with a template. Hopefully the new Sidekick Gekko will maintain the current sub-$200 price tag with a service contract when released.
