14 DAY TRIAL // An advertising flyer recently spotted indicates the launch of the Sidekick LX on October 24. This comes after recent rumors taunted a possible release for the next Sidekick in the near future, at T-Mobile, with solid reasons to support this possibility.
The card clearly announces as a sure thing Sidekick LX's arrival on the 24th of October, just a week after the 16th of October concert that DJ AM will perform for T-Mobile. This artist has been present at the last two Sidekick announcements, which gives great reasons for the tradition to go on the same way this year too.
The flyer's content leaves no matter of a doubt on what people should expect at that date. It says that "The wait is almost over! On October 24 during store business hours, you can bring this card to the retail location where you received it and we'll have a new Sidekick LX waiting for you to purchase. With fantastic features like access to MySpace 24/7, and a larger, sharper high res screen, you won't be disappointed."
The leaked flier is nothing impossible to be created by anyone owning a printer. This still leaves the matter of a doubt over its authenticity. The Sidekick Slide has recently been approved by FCC, which brings it just one step away from a US release. Now, the LX handset seems to be the one selected by T-Mobile for a close launch. That's more than confusing, making it only natural to question any supposedly legit flyer that makes things too easy.
From all these rumors, one thing is clear. T-Mobile will surely bring the latest Sidekick model in its stores towards the end of October. The DJ AM gig is nothing to overlook, as some important unveiling will take place there. The only mystery remaining is whether it will really be Sidekick LX or not.
