"Sorry, Mr. President. Please surrender your BlackBerry. Those are seven words President-elect Barack Obama is dreading but expecting to hear, friends and advisers say, when he takes office in 65 days."
This sounds like a 'cold dead fingers' scenario to me. At least he did not have an iToy. In that case he would have given it up without any comment from the NYT.
It is significant that in these days of Blackberry iPhone wars that the real power brokers use Blackberrys and it is a fine comment on the phone that these people choose the Blackberry because of its inherrent security. This is something that the iPhone can, by its design of email system, never, ever have.

Really? So you are telling me an iPhone can't make you have just as much of an addiction as a Blackberry? If anything, with all the apps it has to offer, it can make your addiction worse. I agree with you on the security features, for now. I still see the iPhone as being very productive, while also letting you have a lot of fun. I don't see that as being a toy, I see that as being a pretty well rounded device.
Well......if it was me,and after I spent all that money on advertisment and all that energy getting elected and was told after I won I couldn't have my Blackberry.....I would have said I changed my mind. Give the Presidency to John McCain. I can't live without out my Blackberry. HA, HA, HA, HA.

First he had to give up smoking, and now this? Next, they'll tell him he has to eat beets with every meal. I thought we were trying to end torture, but look what we're putting this poor guy through, and he's not even the President yet!
