Accra — RLG Communications has reported an overwhelming response to its smartphone, Uhuru Classic.

The gadget was released a week ago.

Officials said the company's online site seems to have been inundated with orders from customers desirous of experiencing the mobile phone revolution.

Company officials said about 100 orders were received on http://www.rlgglobal.com/uhuru-classic mainly from Ghanaians, perhaps an indication of growing interests in online business by people in the West African country.

Clients from Accra, Kumasi and Takoradi are said to have had their devices delivered to them based on online orders processed.

"Though online orders and processing are open to all irrespective of location, deliveries are restricted to only four cities for now; Accra, Kumasi, Takoradi and Tamale," Rlg Business Unit Head for Ghana, Nathaniel Jones explained.

"Within hours of after our unveiling, our link was flooded with orders, mostly for the Uhuru Classic and other products such as the EasySport and Uhuru Tablets. Really impressed by the reception so far," said the company's Digital Marketing Manager, Ashraf Kanjo.

A unique feature of the Uhuru Classic is that users can have their names engraved on their phones when it is pre-ordered on the manufacturer's website (www.rlgglobal.com).

The new Uhuru ranges of smart phones' entry onto the phone market were dictated by consumer feedback and needs .
