It looks like those bummed they couldn't snag that Sidekick 2008 (a.k.a. Gekko) that hit Craigslist earlier this month now have another shot at one, as an apparently non-prototype version of the device has just turned up on eBay -- again, before one is actually available at a T-Mobile store. Currently, the bidding is topping $300 with the reserve not yet met, but if you've just gotta have one, you can swoop in and snag it for the Buy-it-Now price of $999. Or, you know, you could just wait and spend your savings on things you really need, like RFID-activated sliding doggie doors.

ha. that mood test box is pretty clever. i wonder how "limited" those actually are. would they really have wasted their time making only a few of those? anyway, its totally not worth it. most sidekicks look/work the same except with minor improvements. no one would really notice youre sporting anything new. and for how long would you really be the cool guy on the block until everyone has one?

Yep i agree its always the same sidekick with some minor cosmetic enhancements. It isn't worth squat it lacks 3G and you are guaranteed to get crappy service and many dropped calls from the sidekick it mainly attracts tweens and teens. they will go crazy for it but i wont spend a dime on one.
