”T-Mobile Will Offer iPhones for 1 Euro (With Hefty Monthly Contract)
This 3G iPhone deal from T-Mobile isn't quite free, a la O2, but at one euro it's pretty darn close. Like the 02 deal, however, the low price point is available only for customers that are comfortable signing away large chunks of their life via a mobile phone contract. To get the T-Mobile deal, you must choose the highest monthly plan, which will cost you 89 euros per month (about $136). [I4U]Sidekick 4 Coming in July?
It's been a while since we first heard rumors about a the Sidekick 4, but TmoNews has a scoop on two devices headed to retail in July that could fit the bill. The first is code named "SK Gekko" and will be released on July 27; the second is the "Sidekick Aspen" on July 30. No details other than the code names, so we're left in the dark as to what they look like, who they're made by and if Microsoft has had any influence in development. [TmoNews]

Comcast "Assessing" Wireless Field, Sprint Looking Good for Acquisition?
During their luster-lacking quarterly earnings call, Comcast CEO Brian Roberts responded vaguely enough to a question about wireless strategy (i.e., investment or acquisition)—"It is something we are constantly assessing," although "there is no new news today"—to stoke the speculation fires about a possible Comcast entrance into the mobile space. On the less-than-denial, WSJ's Deal Journal proffered: "We would also note that Sprint stock in particular, having been battered by operational woes that led to the ouster of its CEO this month, is in a depressed state that could lure a bargain hunter." AT&T and Verizon's size make them virtual non-possibilities, even if Comcast took the road of teaming up with Time Warner on a wireless venture. If it sounds messy to you, you're not alone—investors aren't exactly lit on fire at the possibility. [WSJ via Electronista, Flickr]
