Well it looks like the previously rumored Tony Hawk branded Sidekick LX will be hitting the market after all. The new LX will not only be sporting a new look on the outside, thanks to some Tony Hawk graphics, but its also rumored to be packing some more, welcomed internal features. Aside from the new look, the LX is also expected to include video recording, stereo Bluetooth and an updated download system that is said to make it easier, along with more themes and backgrounds available to offer some additional customization. In addition the new LX will include a new feature called Play and Share, which will allow for you to easily share those newly recorded videos. The handset itself is also expected to have a “skateboard look and feel with a grip-tape-texture.”

While the Tony Hawk branded LX will come with the video functionality out of the box, the rest of the Sidekick LX’s currently on the market are expected to get an over-the-air update sometime this summer to also get that functionality added. The Tony Hawk Sidekick LX is expected to be announced and shown off today, with a release date sometime in mid-July. No word yet on pricing.
