D-Wade's Sidekick slam-dunk

Dwade_sidekick

In today's edition of Third Screen, screen-queen Michal Lev-Ram talks to some basketball player named D-Wade. That shows you how much I know about basketball-- I've never heard of him, even though he's a big enough name that T-Mobile tapped him to design a Sidekick. When Michal described it to me as white with gold accents, I shuddered at the thought of how tacky it was going to be. But then I saw the photos, and for some reason, I think it looks great! Dwade I especially love the basketball texture on the back. It would be totally cool if that allowed you to dribble it.

I do think they missed an opportunity, though-- the phone screen still features that purple-haired cartoon girl with her tantalizing pixelated cleavage. Why not go all the way and replace her with Dwayne's smiling face?
