You know you've made it when a shady Chinese company uses your image without permission to sell a crappy knockoff of a phone nobody really liked all that much in the first place. [Cloned in China via Coolest Gadgets]
Whill this 'BlackBerry Storm 9500' looks-like-mobile be endorsed by the United State's President, Barak Obama?
The Chinese BB clone called the 'BlockBerry 9500' shows up in this ad featuring Barack Obama. In Chinese it reads "Obama have BlackBerry, I have BlockBerry.?
The BlockBerry device is actually a Windows Mobile 6.1 device with a 3.2-inch touchscreen, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, and supports 3G and EDGE.
There are more problems with the ad than the obvious, of course Obama doesn't use a BlockBerry, but uses a QWERTY BlackBerry World smartphone with special security features which the press refers to as the BarackBerry.
