Keepin' it real fake, part CCXVII: Not even Obama can sell us on BlockBerry

The ad reads: "Obama have BlackBerry, I have BlockBerry." BlockBerry, of course, being haff-cmm's Huawei K3-based WinMo 6.1 handset. This Storm 9500 KIRF packs a 460MHZ processor, a 3.2-inch touchscreen, WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, and supports 3G and EDGE. Some people's audacity, it seems, knows no limits.

OMG! Obama has a Blockberry?! I so wantz one!

In other words, it has features that not even the real Storm has, aka Wi-Fi.
Thanks VERIZON, I LOVE YOU SO MUCH you fucking pricks.

Hey, guess what, douchebag? RIM made the phone. RIM decided what went into the CDMA versions. Every CDMA 9530 is exactly the same. Verizon had nothing to do with how the phone was equipped.

Um, yeah, they do. The Verizon UI, for instance. Arbitrary Bluetooth restrictions, for another. Still pissed over that.

Heh, I kinda want one of these over my Storm. TouchFlo? WiFi? An email client that doesn't require BIS/BES?

Trust me, after using a pile of winmo phones, email that uses BES/BIS is a godsend compared to the mess that is Win-Mo.

HAHAHA they even tried to rip you off on windows mobile "6.1.5" haha
"Wow, a blackberry with winmo 6.5! Amazing"

Oooh, a 3.2" Touch Lens. Not sure what the hell one would do with a touch lens, but I think I need one. Wish the phone had a touch screen though. Oh well, I'm content as long as it's running windows mobile 6.1.5.

I live in Shanghai right now and these fake phones are great! They sell everywhere here for about 700-1000RMB, which is somewhere around 100US$, depending on the fakes quality.

try sites like dealextreme.com and uxcell.com

They should have named it the BarackBerry. Then it would have sold.
Douglas @ Jun 18th 2009 9:31PM
This is definitely the funniest KIRF to date.

I think that windows mobile 6.5 on a blackberry device would be a huge help and likely sell very well.
