Obama sticks to his BlackBerry

Obama sticks to his BlackBerry

Discuss 25

In the beginning, we all thought that the newly elected President of the United States will have to forget about his BlackBerry, due to security measures. Relax, it’s not that your information isn’t safe and sound with the ‘Berry that you’ve bought just yesterday, it’s just that the standards for the President’s phone are higher.

A few days ago, Mr. Obama was about to lose his beloved gadget by accidentally letting it fall on a hard airport tarmac. However, it was not meant to be, as it has become clear that his phone is alive and well. Yesterday however, the President has been snapped as he was walking along the West Wing Colonnade towards the Oval Office. On the picture, he is looking at a device in his hands, but it’s obvious that this isn’t the Sectera Edge by General Dynamics, which was one of the approved alternatives for him. It’s more like a BlackBerry… A BlackBerry 8830 maybe?

Ahhhh, Blackberry. Once you go BLACKberry...you now never go back. Feels good to know the Commander in Chief is a Crackberry addict like me.

Uh oh, he said something naughty. Now his post will have to be deleted because my fragile little mind cannot process such mature language.

Luckily, there are many other sites that blow this circlejerk out of the water. Engadgetmobile for instance.

I have also had comments deleted that were VERY related to the article. This site has gone bogus. Bad Grammar in every article, adds everywhere you click, and every interesting comment deleted. Shame on you iPhonearena. Too bad this comment will never see the light of day.... Please don't delete me.....

Big fan of Engadget! They always have the latest news (for the most part). And, you can pretty much post what you want.

Indeed, they are the first site i check.

At the risk of this comment getting delted please explain Mayday. Because if what you say is true then I think a lot of other people are gonna be interested in your reply. What did you post that was deleted? Thanks!

Mayday is correct, there was an article about the G1 memory or apps something like that being deleted and the first 3 posts said " holy ****", " holy batman" and " holy guacamole" all three of them were deleted....and you can check any article and whenever you see numbers and posts missing, its cuz there were deleted

haha I was the fourth person to post on the article, I posted "holy cow". Stuff like that makes this sight fun. Deleting it ruins the fun. Delete the annoying people that throw unnececary language in here, leave good fun alone.

That is true. I once pointed out that there was an error with the site, and it was deleted. The error was fixed but any "mention" of the error was deleted as well.

Seriously

Thanks for the back up. I think it is very poor taste of this site. They have onesided articles and reviews most of the time and now articles with many errors, then when someone says something that is not looked favorably upon they just go through and delete them. This site has many problems and I used to really like it but now....... bad site, bad I say. It's not even swear words either, there are a lot that are pulled with out swearwords involved.

I guarantee they will remove your post and my post... They just deleted one of my other posts on this article... funny. Phonearena IS very one sided in their articles, depending on what they discuss. And then the phonearena Nazi-Monitors go around and make sure only certain things remain on the site. So much for open forums... Phonearena just doesn't want anything bad posted about them. Well, they would get a lot less crap from us if they would just allow us to post what we wanted. I can understand the racism being deleted (as it is just ridiculous post anything racist), and I can understand some of the out-of-hand vulgarity... but really, they are out of control Nazis... Prove me wrong, B******! Prove me wrong. I guarantee they will delete this post.... just wait and see. -SC

Seriously, to whom will be deleting this post, you should be absolutely ashamed of yourself. Forget your excuses, NOONE buys it.
