Obama Phone

If I had posted this in the Politics and News section, we could talk about how much people love/hate Obama, etc...

But, since it is posted here:
What are the technical aspects of this? I bet there are a lot of folks here who havea decent cell phone, but are currently unemployed. Can they use this with an existing phone? Any other ideas?

But bush?
This needs to be moved to P&N I'm already getting frustrated about it. My tax dollars blah blah...
If they need to call 911 then give them a phone. 911 calls already go through for free. Don't need 250 minutes for that.

Since this will most likely include old tech, nothing new, I'm not sure why it's here. Any topic worth talking about is all P&N related and should go there.

can you tether data to a laptop? would be a slick way of giving out public wifi access.

I think this is a great idea. Love to see what kinds of phones they are going to use--maybe RIM or Nokia could jump on this with their trusty old-school phones. Great battery life, easy to understand. GOBAMA.

My momma says if you can't say anything good about some President, don't say anything at all.

But what the heck.......he's an idiot so let's just call a spade a spade, shall we?

Socialist phone program paid for by the rest of us.....
