John Hodgman Calls Barack Obama “A Nerd” »

Chinese cell phone companies have been cloning some of the top phones in the world the past few years, including the iPhone and the Nokia N95, trying to get people to buy their knockoffs for half the price. Now, Blockberry… err…Blackberry has joined that list and with U.S. President Barack Obama as the face of their advertising campaign.

The slogan for the new Blockberry is: “Obama have Blackberry, I have blockberry”.

The Chinese Blockberry 9500 runs windows Mobile 6.1, with a 460MHZ proccessor, and features a 3.2 inch touchscreen, WIFI and bluetooth connectivity,Sirf III GPS navigation and supports 3G and EDGE network.

It won’t be long before we start to see Palm Pre and iPhone 3GS clones.

are they allowed to use Obama as the advertisment??

I very much doubt they’re allowed to use Obama but if they could get away with it, why not? He’s a pretty well known figure around the globe and it’s not news that he loves his blackberry. Although I would love to hear what Obama has to say about it
