Introducing the ObamaPhone!

Obama Phone

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!

    I agree with SenorMysterioso. Very tacky. But then, I think that political bumper stickers are tacky too. And for the record, when I was in the US, I was registered as non-affiliated, and I don’t live in the US anymore so it’s not an anti-Obama thing.

    Very funny!

    But the real Obama phones are not funny at all.

    And I’m hearring that the free giveaways are continuing and expanding ti]o Virgin Mobile!

    I can’t belive a hip company like that is going to be giving away free phones to the “unemplyed”.

    Come on!
