You know how China has become the de facto land of counterfeit handsets and the source of headaches for some mobile phone makers’ legal departments? Right, well, yet another Chinese clone-maker is now pushing their questionable goods by playing off US President Obama’s love for his BlackBerry.
I hate covering counterfeit/fake/clone phones, but this one deserves a mention.
“Obama have BlackBerry, I have BlockBerry” – goes the slogan on the BlockBerry ad. We’re going to go ahead and assume that these guys never got the go-ahead to use Obama’s image in their ad campaign. In fact, it’s unlikely these guys even speak a lick of English or even know where the White House is located.
The BlockBerry runs WinMo 6.1, has a 460Mhz processor, and sports GPS and WiFi. The specs sound decent, but there’s no way we’d every rock a “BlockBerry.” Imagine the snickers from iPhone 3G S owners…
