T-Mobile ollies with Tony Hawk Sidekick LX

The rumored Tony Hawk edition of the Sidekick LX is said to be making its first public appearance today, looking every bit the part with a "skateboard look and feel" made complete with "grip-tape-texture" and the skateboarding icon's name plastered across the display's bezel. This one isn't just about branding, though -- it's being said that T-Mobile will use the occasion to launch a rather hearty LX firmware update that includes video recording, stereo Bluetooth, additional themes, some sort of video sharing capability, and more; it'll be available to all LX owners some time this summer via an over-the-air update. Meanwhile, the very special Tony Hawk piece should be made available to buyers in mid-July.

Okay so this looks really cool, but Im not sure if I really want a Tony Hawk Sidekick LX, it looks kind of like a phone a little boy would have. I am a big fan of the Lx but that just looks to kidish.
