Mi Phone Barack Obama Cell Phone Hits Kenya Mi-Obama Phone

It really had to happen - our faith in human nature would have been
called into question had it not - but you can, at last, get your hands
on a Barack Obama branded cell phone, released by Mi phone and referred
to as the 'Mi-Obama phone', but you'll have to live in Kenya in order to
do so.

The Mi Phone Mi-Obama cell phone, which comes with the phrase 'Yes We
Can' emblazoned on its rear, is tailored for emerging markets so is, as
you'd expect, a fairly base-level device but this enables the price
point to stay low hence making it affordable (or, rather, more
affordable than it otherwise may have been) at just $30 a pop and
apparently its already shifted over 1,000 units in just Nairobi since in
its first week of availability.

'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' said Alpesh Patel, Director of Mi-Fone
who 'thought the opportunity was just too good to miss' though,
personally, he uses a BlackBerry.

Further details can (not) be found at the Mi Phone website which comes
complete with an especially irritating pleasing soundtrack.
