The tech world has been on fire with speculation about President-elect Obama keeping his beloved Blackberry. According to ABC World News, he will be able to keep it only for personal use. Anything government-related will have to be handled on a NSA-approved phone. The smartphone option, the Sectera Edge, is a NSA approved brickphone and isn’t exactly a worthy successor to the Blackberry. (pics after the jump). Anyway, good for Barack. There is nothing like losing your Blackberry.

Uh … Do you know if I can get that cool PDA on AT&T?
best thing that ever happened to me WAS losing my BB.. never looked back..
i bet he must be happy if he gets to keep it, even for personal use.
Does anyone els think there is no lack of extremely poor grammar pervasive in this website?
Yes, especially in the comments.
buuuuuuuuuurn!
the most powerfull man in the world can get anyone and anything in 3 min or less. Who is he gonna bb at 3 am? wweeiirrd..and supicious
I’m REALLLY curious about the classified ( and somewhat proverbial) “red button” on that phone :-)
I hope it locks his keypad when its not in use :)
I’m sure glad Obama knows more about everything than anybody else. Hopefully he just re-writes the rules about how to insulate and protect a president so the Secret Service can study those and throw out all the silly nonsense they were trained with.
you forgot to write : /sarcasm
Wow, the Sectera does not look like a cool phone.
so… whats the difference between a classified and unclassified usb port? how does that work
That’s classified!
The S3, or a similar one, encryption chip.
Unclassified = open data gates.
Classified = encryption/decryption + access control filters.
