sidekick on seshn

We had previously mentioned that Tony Hawk was pimping out a sidekick with the help of T-Mobile, and today, word has become truth, as there are pictures and statements by Tony himself, citing that he loves the Sidekick and is proud to be a part of this “revolutionary” transmission.

Not bad, but will Tony Hawk’s sidekick be able to overcome the new Iphone that is supposedly coming out later this summer?
Further more, do skateboarders really care about their phones enough to back Tony Hawk? Or is this just a push towards further publicizing the Hawk name…as if he needs more non-skate publicity.
Whatever the case is, The Birdman is a legend and this phone can be a good thing, if it’s solid.
