ObamaPhone!
An Obama-branded cell phone has hit the market, but alas, for the time being at least, it is only available in Kenya. The “Mi-Obama” phone costs around USD$30 in Kenya and more than 1000 have reportedly been sold to date in Nairobi alone!
Handset vendor, Mi has launched a Barack Obama branded mobile phone for sale in Kenya - the home country of the President Elect's father. The handset is co branded with the Obama colours and logo and is being sold for roughly $30.
The company says that the Mi-Obama handsets are available exclusively at Fone Xpress@ Nakumatt, Tuskys and Phonelink retail stores throughout Kenya, the product in its first week of availability has already sold over 1000 units in Nairobi alone.
"The coming of the new President of the USA is an auspicious moment for all Kenyans and the people of Africa. It is our pleasure to be able to launch the Mi-Obama phone as a memento that will always stay within the user's hearts and minds" says Alpesh Patel, Director of Mi-Fone.
The company said that it thought the opportunity was just too good to miss.
The President-Elect himself is famously addicted to his BlackBerry phone.

the fact that its gonna be sold only in kenya, says about its quality.Hope President Obama's quality does not equal it

Africa hasn't really had much to cheer about lately, so any association to a "good" leader is welcoming..
Words fail me.
The phone, I mean.
