Another year, another Sidekick from T-Mobile. The uber-popular communication device will be available to existing T-Mobile customers starting April 17th, with the rest of the world getting to purchase it on my birthday, May 13th. Want to know what you’re in store for? Of course you do.

So I grabbed the DSLR and a FedEx box and went crazy. Here’s a bunch of pics of the new Sidekick, as well as the new Sidekick being compared to a Sidekick LX for scale. Enjoy!

T-Mobile has announced yet another themed Sidekick device. This time, skateboard legend Tony Hawk will be taking the reigns of the design team, creating a communications device that’s bound to please teenagers everywhere. Aside from the cool, blue graphics on the screen, the bottom of the device will have a grip-tape-like surface similar to that of a real skateboard. There’s even 8 miniature screws shoved in there to emulate a set of trucks being screwed in to a deck.

On the software side, you’ll find a special Tony Hawk theme full of graphics, wallpapers and videos – all exclusive of course. Looks aren’t the only thing this Sidekick LX will have – T-Mobile is taking this opportunity to release a new version of the OS the Sidekick uses, which will include video capture and sharing. Perfect for those hot summer days of shredding in the park. Hit the jump for another shot of the new LX.
