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.
