New Sidekick model PV210 passes FCC muster

Rumors swirling around Danger's upcoming
Aspen and Gekko Hiptops are approaching a rolling boil at this point, and seeing a new model fly through the FCC's testing procedures certainly isn't going to help to quell them. Honestly, we probably would've passed this one right over had it not been for the big "Powered by Danger" label on the FCC approval sticker here, detailing a new Sidekick known internally to Sharp as the PV210. We've gone through the test reports and we're sorry to report that there still isn't any 3G here -- so despite the device's perfect form factor for consuming gobs and gobs of data, EDGE is going to have to continue to suffice. We imagine we'll be seeing this one announced before too long.

If it's to be newer as an SK5 it would be PV260 or higher. With a model number as it is it's likely an "iD-esque" cheaper device fewer features similar to the previous generations rather than a new 5th gen sidekick. The LX and Slide models were only released last October and new sidekicks only tend to come out every 2 years, lets hold our breath for the next FCC approval number... Sharp Model Progression :
LX = PV250
?? = PV210
SK3 = PV200
ID = PV150
SK2 = PV100
Slide = Q700 (...but it's Motorola so it doesn't count) ;)

I liked the sidekick but then i grew tired of it the same sidekick just minor cosmetic upgrades we all want a 3G enabled sidekick so i don't think many people care that a new 3G0-less sidekick is being released
