Limited Edition Sidekick 3s?
Looks like Gizmodo is jumping into the speculation and rumor business even more than us! Looking way back to the roadmap that was leaked out, they’re speculating on limited editions being available in October. We haven’t heard anything about Limited Edition Sidekick 3s yet, and we would wager that TMobile/Danger would hold off on releasing these for awhile.
The Sidekick 3 has only been out officially for a month. Yes, the device that we’ve all grown to love is still an infant on the market. If we go by the timeline floating on the tubes and adjust for the real release date, that puts limited editions scheduled in Jan 2007, 6 months after to release. This would make sense from a marketing and business perspective. Drop the first device, enjoy the hype for 6 months, then when it’s starting to die down, drop the limited editions, pumping up the marketing hype again. We all know that the Sidekick works off of viral marketing, and that the best advertisement is not necessarily flashy commercials or shiny flyers, but someone showing it off to a friend.

Someone told me they wanted to make a gunit or ecko sidekick. That’d be pretty lame. Why not a nelly one if your going to make a gunit one.
That’s all we need is wussy rap group sidekicks.
I’d like to see more of a less ‘urban’ approach. Don’t get me wrong I love hiphop (mf doom!!) and I’m no racist (I’m a bean) but I think itd be cool to have like a lets say…. xbox endored sidekick. Or somethin? I don’t want a tommy hilfiger one.

yeap… the jordan 1? is that wat your talkin about?

they are not gonna be putting out limited editions any time soon…probably next year. and when they do its probably going be along the same lines of the juicy couture/mr. cartoon… a trendy/girly one and a one thats more urban possibly aimed towards guys

I think so becuase one person said that it was the jordan and the other said it was the old mario video game?

wanna know what id love to see? STAR WARS sidekick3. red backlights, sleek all black. hahaha.
i think they should just have the phone available in diffrent colors. no more tacky skins. i dont want to pay 200 dollars for a nike logo on my sk3. but i would pay a cool 50 or so more for a black bandana paisly style sk3.

UUUHHH….. I think like designer ones would be cool like a Lacoste or something like that. Not these ghetto “urban” deals. the Mr. Cartoon was ugly and so was the juicy. But Lacoste would have a cool lil’ alligator on it. evry1 can relate to an alligator. But on another not all the silver pieces on the sidekick 3 pop off making it simple for 3rd parties to make different colors and designs to fit everyones needs. Hopefully it will catch on.

I have a 2 year contract. Does that mean that I have to have the same phone or is it that I have to have tmobile for two years????? I want that SPECIAL EDITION

t-mobile for 2 years. To get a upgrade it will be 22 months, but you can get a new phone anytime.. but not at the best upgrade price.
