Cricket to release Greg Oden phone November 7

Here’s a neat idea. Cricket Wireless is teaming up with Portland Trail Blazers star Greg Oden to create the O-Fōn. Yes, it’s pronounced O-Phone, but I guess he (or Cricket) felt the need to be clever. It’s for a good cause, though. Proceeds from the phone will go to Oregon Mentors, a nonprofit group (though it doesn’t say what portion of the proceeds, or if it is all the proceeds). Essentially, we’re looking at a modified Samsung Messenger here, which isn’t a bad thing at all. Pricing and all that will be revealed on the 7th.
