    Barack Obama still uses a BlackBerry

    The leader of the free world needs to upgrade

    Sure, Obama billed himself as the first "BlackBerry President" during his first presidential campaign, but that was in 2008, everyone. Unless he's signed a deal to be the company's latest Creative Director it's probably time to step into the future � if an iPad is good enough for the Oval Office, surely something can be worked out for his phone?

    still when it comes to email management, no one close enough to test blackberry waters.... thats the last thing it remain good in blackberry, they almost screwed it by leaving tool belt.... at last some sanity in management come....
    all i can say work wide is a great concept need to be brushed up and get some room for creativity.....
    many ppl just use ims, email and web browser in a smart phones... others come with utilising multimedia and camera etc.... ill say blackberry should have to concolidate on its strengths.... app developers will come in when they see bb in every executive hands....

    They're making the assumption that everyone has the same requirements and uses their phones the same way. Android devices and iPhones are great consumer devices. But a head of state's job requirements are probably different from the consumer, hence BlackBerry's presence in government.

    Obama doesn't have time for instagram, yelp, twitter, candy crush, or anything that the verge believe everyone is doing on their smartphone.

    Get off the games and write better articles, verge.

    I love the fact that our commander and chief here in the USA still carries his trusty BlackBerry with him, I have seen allot of my corporate clients who switched to Android and IOS are re-thinking their strategy because of all the latest hacks that have been popping up in both Android and IOS platforms.

    I just had one of my German based clients here in the USA decided to go back to Blackberry because of the security issues they have had with Android and their employees various BYOD devices. They told me that security far outweighs the few dollars they where saving using the BYOD program.

    It's called spin. Instead of taking a cue from a hugely important person that still chooses blackberry, spend time saying he needs to use what the masses use in order to further validate popular opinions.

    Typos on a touch screen aren't that desirable when you're running a country.
