Sharp Danger Sidekick III D-Wade Ltd Edition, New, T-Mobile locked
Listed here is the Sharp Danger Sidekick III D-Wade Limited Edition, the Dwyane Wade branded Sidekick 3, locked to T-Mobile and graded New with the accessories the original listing names, including the 64 MB memory card, headset, case, and wrist strap. Collector dealers and sports-memorabilia sellers are the fit here; a boxed limited-edition Sidekick is a display piece, not an activation.
The Sidekick III, built by Sharp on Danger's hiptop platform for T-Mobile in 2006, was the messaging device of its moment: a swivel-out screen over a full QWERTY keypad, a trackball, a 1.3 MP camera, an MP3 player, a miniSD slot, and a removable battery, about a fifth smaller than the Sidekick II. The Dwyane Wade Limited Edition carried the Heat guard's branding on a numbered run and is one of the most sought-after Sidekick variants.
TG Wireless sells it to collector shops, prop houses, and nostalgia-driven marketplace sellers; nobody buys it for service, since it is a 2G-only device tied to a back end that no longer exists.

Condition: New
Brand new units in the original box with the original in-box accessories as listed. Nothing has been activated or reconditioned. If your channel needs sealed retail packaging rather than open-box new, say so when you request a quote so the account manager can confirm how the lot is packed.
Network and compatibility
The Sidekick III is a 2G GSM/EDGE device sold locked to T-Mobile; see the network status line in the table. T-Mobile retired its 2G GSM network on August 3, 2026, and the device has no 3G or LTE radio, so it gets no US service today. Its email, messaging, and web features also ran through the Danger back-end service that T-Mobile shut down in 2011, so even on a live GSM network abroad it works for voice and SMS only. Realistic uses are collector display, film and TV props, and parts.

- Collector and enthusiast dealers who specialize in 2000s branded and limited-edition devices.
