Greg Oden Has His Own Cell Phone
Get texts from the potential Rookie of the YearBefore playing a single minute of an NBA regular season game, Greg Oden can text his Mom on his own signature phone. That’s right, the limited edition Greg Oden O-Fōn – brought to you by Cricket Wireless – will go on sale November 7, with pre-orders already underway.
While I haven’t seen a pic of the phone yet, from what I’ve read, its got everything you’d need. Oden worked with Cricket since the summer to develop the signature handset, determining that the two features he was personally most interested in were a full keyboard for text messaging, and a large display to view websites, videos and picture messages.
In addition, Oden customized the back cover of the phone to included an engraving of his jersey and his autograph. If that’s not enough, packaged with the limited edition phone is a Greg Oden Topps Rookie Card designed exclusively for Cricket, a personal “thank you” message from G.O. himself, and constant text messages from the potential Rookie of the Year throughout the season.
If you could create a signature phone for one NBA player, who would it be and what features would it have?
