So the rumors had it coming out on June 25th, but T-mobile surprised us and got the new OTA update out early.  I haven’t received mine yet but am looking forward to video capability on my Sidekick LX.  It also is going to have all of these features:

Sweet! It’s going to be a different phone.  The rolling update will probably take about 4 weeks to complete so don’t be upset if you haven’t gotten yours yet!  It looks like it will be worth the wait.

Thanks to Boy Genius Report for the laundry list of new features for the Sidekick LX

In conjunction with the announcement of a Tony Hawk Edition of the T-Mobile Sidekick LX, T-Mobile confirmed upgrades for existing customers coming in July.

T-Mobile has partnered with skater Tony Hawk to create the new Tony Hawk limited edition Sidekick LX.

The Tony Hawk LE Sidekick LX has a skateboard look. Hawk, who says he’s been a “loyal Sidekick user since the first model” had a hand in designing the special edition model. It builds off the Sidekick LX with a slate gray shell, blue-and-white accents, the skater’s signature hawk graphic, and skating sound effects for the hinge. The bottom cover of the device is outfitted to resemble and feel like the top of a skateboard, including a texture like grip-tape and eight simulated screws.

The Tony Hawk Sidekick LX will also be the first Sidekick to ship with video recording, playback, and sharing capabilities. It will also have stereo Bluetooth support and more personalization options.

For current sidekick LX owners this is good news, because you will be getting theses capabalities also. An OTA (over the Air) update will be sent out for all sidekick LX users a bit later in the Summer.

Current Sidekick Owners will get the chance to purchase the Tony Hawk LX first on July 9, 2008. As for everyone else, they get their chance on July 16, 2008.
