NSA engineer: 'I made Obama's BlackBerry' - May. 22, 2014
That's pretty cool!

What, he made the old one that he was using when he first came into the white house. The pres is on bb10 now. The media needs to give it a break.
What evidence is there that he's on BB10?
The President is on BB10? Any proof?

Wow you guys are incredible. Obama visited malaysia recently and I saw him hold a Z10 with my own eyes.
Its well known he has a Z10.

That's not his, it's hers; Helle Thorning Schmidt...
The photo you posted is the famous "Cameron, Thorning-Schmidt, Obama" selfie from the funeral of former South African President, Nelson Mandela. The smartphone used was not Obama's but rather that of the Danish Prime Minister, Ms. Thorning-Schmidt. (David Cameron Explains Why He Agreed To Nelson Mandela Selfie With Obama And Thorning-Schmidt).
As evidenced from the CNN article, peripheral functions, like the camera, have been removed from the President's Blackberry.
Interesting article. I didn't know the NSA basically installed their own security algorithms on the BB. Is it even running through BB servers?
People here aren't going to like that last comment about switching...
Wow you just made yourself look silly

Big Plus: talking about the BarackBerry
Big Negative: if you read the comments, nobody cares to discuss the phone, or Blackberry. The discussion degenerates into bush, congress, liberals and politics.
Article ends with a mandatory BB jab.
What jab at BlackBerry?

At the very bottom it says he will probably get a different phone after his contract is up.

Like a Q20?

Yes, it belongs to the Prime Minister of Norway, Helle Thorning-Schmidt. (The woman in the center)
Obama in recent years has been carrying a 9930, reputedly.

Top Level Telecommunications: How Obama's BlackBerry got secured
The third article has lots of technical details.
Basically, the layered security solution they wanted to use only runs on the legacy OS.
I imagine that there may be some interest in updating the POTUS personal smartphone, but really, it's a very critical, highly-secure thing that has a very limited function by necessity. If it's continuing to perform that duty, they may not feel the need to change it, and I wouldn't blame them.
On the other hand, John Chen made a publicly-documented business visit to the White House recently, and I'm sure that the subject of Obama's mobile tech was talked about at least a little. ;)
The whole of the White House and staff is on 9930s. That contract has a few months left to run.

Very interesting. Thanks for sharing
Americans are NOT ALLOWED to use BlackBerry. Working class people are not allowed to use BlackBerry. BlackBerry is only for the elite and the elites business interests( enterprise) and governments. Those who hate BlackBerry have been programed / brainwashed to using inferior android or icrap products. Remember you are not allowed to use BlackBerry.
