In addition to vinyl, CD, picture disk and digital formats, the new Mdou Moctar album ‘Afrique Victime’ will be available as a special and limited cellphone edition.

Disclaimer: You can only make calls on this phone in countries that have 2G coverage (not US). The phone does not include a sim card and the headphone port is 2.5mm
