@Wash, a special offer run by a company as big as Safaricom carries some credibilty to it. Only Safaricom knows the real truth i.e how much stock levels and who bought the handsets. I just found it very odd that they would run out of stocks within hours of the offer on phones that many would not consider necessary. Blackberry's and the rest are primarily business tools, business people lined up for the handsets is something hard to believe. The offer, at the rate that it was successful, gives the impressions that we do not need foreign donors. People must have serious money stashed in their pillows/beds because even going to the bank to draw large amounts will take some time, therefore the units run out. Somehow the whole thing does not add up and that is where I begin to doubt the it. It deserves an investigation by the authorities to clarify the air on this matter.
