The SKiD is colorful and coming next month



Everyone is slipping these days. Looks like the Rebate guys over at T-Mobile were a little quick to jump the gun and information on the Sidekick iD’s release date, rebate amount, and available colors slipped out. The rebate will be $50, the release date looks like April 18th, and you’ll have your choice of blue, pink, or yellow at first. From what we hear the colors will actually be changeable, so no need to buy all three to match your outfits. They’ll be like the bumpers were on the Sidekick IIs. With the already low price and the rebate, these are almost like disposable Sidekicks, handy for the situations where you wouldn’t want to take your several hundred dollar Sidekick 3.

    Well, the rebate is presumably only for new users- anyone else would be paying $150.

    One could ask “if somebody can afford $60 a month for T-Mobile service with data, can’t they afford the phone with all the bells and whistles?” And in fact I assume most people will go for the Sidekick 3, but it’s good to have another price point covered. Not everybody can swing the cash up front. And of course, it’ll make the Sidekick even more affordable for the deaf.

    During the Sidekick 2 days though I remember you could get a SK2 for $50 after rebates at Amazon. What happened?

    Heck, we remember a time where Amazon would pay you $50 after rebates to get a Sidekick II. *sigh* Those were the days…

    the keyboard letters aren’t the same as the Sidekick II or 3. the “a” letter is different and the letters on the real ones are slanted and these are straight up and down. and the pic looks too digital to be real but who knows? maybe a new look but i doubt it

    Wow! You pay really close attention to things!

    I just saw that!

    I think that its just a new look, I don’t think tmobilerebates.com would upload it to their FTP, but hey. You never know 🙂
