Blackberry Porsche: An Expensive Phone for the Working Class

There was this Blackberry craze in Nigeria that didn't make the reaction to the Blackberry Porsche smartphone come as a surprise. Everyone (that couldn't afford it) had something to say about it. Like this message I got...
16 REASONS WHY U MUST OWN A BLACKBERRY PORSCHE(N450,000):
•If u hold it, U can't go hungry.
•If misplaced, it will automatically find its way back 2ur pocket.
•If an ugly person sends U a request, d request wil hang.
•U can connect d bluetooth to phcn software to generate electricity.
•It can be used as a bomb detector.(Ah,boko haram ar in troubl)
•It auto corrects Ur grammatical error (gbagaun).
•it can serve as ATM machine(only if u knw how to). •U don't have 2 pay BIS,it pings via satellite.
•It vibrates if someone is tellin lies...(4real).
•It can tell d real father of a child.
•It can detect if Ur boyfriend/girlfriend is wayward. •It is accepted as dowry.
•It can upgrade Ur GPA if U are a student.
•It can prevent unwanted pregnancy, just put it on condom mode.
•It can make Arsenal win a trophy this season and can still make Torres the highest goal scorer this season.
•It can detect which member of ur family dat posesses witchcraft. (dats goods. all witches n wizards ar in soup).
It can easily record ur dreams n replay(just read the manual)
...all because it had a price tag of almost $2,500 ONLY. Like it was that expensive. One thing I did notice was the people (especially females) desperate to get it (by that I mean force a guy) believed it would give them prestige. Like the phone was the Bentley of cell phones. I've met females who were ignorant of 95 percent of their Blackberry functions, yet they wanted this phone to impress friends they don't like.
I believe any individual must be stupid believing getting this phone meant they were rich or something, like it would boost their social status. My advice, get any of the phones listed below. Buy a phone that could pay for tuition OR buy a house and not a plane ticket.
- MOTOROLA V220 SPECIAL EDITION: $51,800
- VERTU DIAMOND: $88,000
- IPHONE PRINCESS PLUS: $176,400
- VIPN BLACK DIAMOND SMARTPHONE: $300,000
- VERTU SIGNATURE COBRA: $310,000 (pic above, I love this)
- DIAMOND CRYPTO SMARTPHONE: $1.3 MILLION
- GOLDVISH LE MILLION: $1.3 MILLION
- GOLDSTRIKER IPHONE 3GS SUPREME: $3.2 MILLION
