So are you desperate to get your hands on a Sidekick 2008, for those that don’t know, it used to be known as the Gekko. So you’ve got a wad of cash but just don’t know where to get hold of a Sidekick 2008 and just don’t want to wait any longer.

Well it appears that some guy is selling on craigslist, all you need to do is make him a big enough offer and he just might sell it to you. So here are a couple of in the wild snaps to keep you happy until you can actually get hold of one for yourself.

One thing is though this “Gekko/Sidekick 2008” has a blue keypad which probably means they are actually trail handsets, meaning mobile handsets given to people to test run before release.

Here’s the actual craigslist post, make of it what you will.
