    When were those pix taken? Before or after he became president?

    Do we really care? If you find out, what will you do with your newly found information?

    If RIM made a unique phone just for Obama, and you somehow got ahold of one, you'd have something special. Other than that, whatever model he has, he's just 1 of 1,000's just like everyone else. The phone you want, is Tiger Woods' phone. It can handle A LOT of use!

    I don't think it was a Blackberry Per se -- there are blackberry-like devices that the military use, and I think he got one of those. I'm pretty sure they have extra crypto and other sorts of "hardening".

    I imagine anything unique about the Prez's BB would be OS related. Beefier security, stuff like that. I doubt there would be any physical differences.

    The President has two phones
    1) his blackberry, which is heavily monitor by the FBI and SS, that is for personal use only
    2) a ! H ! E ! A ! V ! I ! L Y ! monitored government issued phone.

    I believe the specter that Pck mentioned is #2.

    Hmmm...based on this article, at the end, they said this wimo phone may not even be considered for the president. So can any1 confirm for sure if obama is using a bb or not? If a bb, what model?

    If I'm not mistaken, Han Solo had a very similar looking communicator in Star Wars. We all know how cheesy that looks NOW!
