Obama’s New Phone.

January 22, 2009 in Geek,Politics with 4 Comments

I mentioned this in an earlier post, but President Obama is a poster boy for Blackberry. Dude loves his device so much he refused to give it up when he became Commander-in-Chief. (Apparently when you’re the leader of the free world, people want to read text messages from the First Lady that say, “Pick up some milk on the way back from addressing the nation.” Who knew?)

One of the reasons that I “heart” our new President is because of his love for technology. Everybody said, “Sir, it’s time to hand over the Blackberry,” to which Obama defiantly said, “Security threat? Fine. Make me a new one that’s not.”

And behold, it was done.

What do you get when the Commander-in-Geek wants a wireless version of Fort Knox? This:

This, in a word, is awesome. Encrypted everything. More buttons than a spaceship. A wicked piece of machinery.

I love this guy for no other reason than his quiet, confident, respectful defiance of that way things “have always been.” Obama’s shaking things up, and it’s starting with a Blackberry.

    Is that the Sectera? Not the prettiest phone… but it packs some muscle. I hear he will be keeping the BB though…

      I have no idea WHAT it is. (Other than "cool", of course.)

      This thing would give Chloe fits, I think.
