Not Quite a Blackberry
Obama will indeed be able to use a smartphone while in office, but he will not be using his trusted Blackberry. The phone he will be using is the Sectéra Edge, a maximum-security smartphone put out by General Dynamics C4 Systems Group. The smartphone was designed under an $18 million contract from the National Security Agency to be used y government officials. The phone can handle classification levels up to "Top Secret." The high-tech device will put to rest security issues present with the Blackberry, including unclassified communications, hacker vulnerability, and GPS locating. The $3000 phone is undoubtedly better than no smartphone at all, but with its Windows OS, it will surely disappoint after years of Blackberry use.
