Posted by: phaserx

yeah, they def need to do something about the backgrounds, theyre hurting for sure..



Posted by: acquadiice

they look so asssssssssss



Posted by: Kabuk1

They need to offer better ones. The pinkish one & the blue one are ok, though the pinkish one kinda looks like a baby phat imitation or something Paris Hilton would use. The first one looks like a graffiti tag & the brown one looks like a LV pattern.

They need to expand their intended consumer base, lol...

Hit the nail on the head!!!. If they had a background for Business type people they would sell even more. I hate the cartoon crap on the jump screen!

Excuse you??? What are you - racist or something?

He nor his comment are racist, the person/s who coined the term "ebonics" and officiated it as a separate language spoken only by black people is a racist. So are the people who have begun to market the SK line to the stereotypical "gangsta" crowd. Notice that the download catalog is about 90-95% rap, and look at those backgrounds if you think I'm wrong. It's not 'racist' to make an observation.

I wish they'd just market the damn thing to the general public instead of cheapening it's image by making it all ghetto-fabulous & teen-oriented like that.

Im not racist, im just tired of companies targeting the wrong market. Not many teenagers can afford a $400 phone! If the phone had a better gui the sales would pass the blackberry, treo, HP units. Just change the OS and we are in business!

I thought it was very funny and true as well as the post above. Its turned in to be a ghetto phone. And no one should say anything about racist. Cause if anything the phone is racist against white people.
The black dude and asian girl on the jump screen say enough.

Maybe Danger is racist for targeting the rap scene and its followers? There are no other phones that uses such stereotypical designs as graphics/wallpapers. Fake LV style print as a background?



Posted by: chrisshow

LOL yeah the SK instead of LV is pretty funny.



Posted by: Kabuk1

This is actually one of the reasons I no longer use my sidekick. I almost felt unwelcome to even use the device b/c I wasn't ghetto enough.

there's one more company the markets to the ghetto crowd- boost mobile. Look at their slogan~

"Where you at?"



Posted by: Mistaj0hnny

They should change it to "Where you is..?"



Posted by: anon1435

just gotta say wow.....



Posted by: Rapmac

LMAO at this thread



Posted by: DipLoMaTz

lol its really about marketing...just like nextel did for their younger customers by making boost. T-Mo created it after who it would sell most to, teenagers celeb's...dont like it dont buy it easy as that...

On the sidekick 1, and 2 they had caucasians on the jump screen, but once they switch up the ethnicities their being racist? Your logic is flawed. The funny thing is the so called "pimp" is not wearing anything extravagant, or pimpish nonetheless. That is a most causual outfit, and if you dissagree you have some underlying racial phobia you need to deal with.
