no, obama uses the general dynamics secure windows ce thing for President Stuff and has to have it with him pretty much all the tme so he can order nuclear strikes or some poo poo, and in the past he's used both an iphone and an android for personal phones.

there was speculation back when he first said he wanted to keep his blackberry that he'd be given the general dynamics one instead, but i cant find a single photo of him using it.

http://www.theverge.com/2014/3/28/5557108/blackberry-q4-2013-earnings-financial-report-bold

quote:

Earlier today, BlackBerry released its fourth quarter earnings statement, reporting revenues of $976 million. That's down 64 percent from the $2.7 billion it reported a year ago, and it's the first time BlackBerry has had less than $1 billion in quarterly revenue since 2007. BlackBerry also reported a loss of $42 million this quarter, compared to the $94 million it earned during the holiday quarter last year. Of the 3.4 million smartphones shipped this quarter, about 2.3 million were running BlackBerry's older platform, not the BlackBerry 10 software introduced in 2013.

Despite the down numbers, BlackBerry CEO John Chen is still optimistic in the company's turnaround. Chen points to the reduced operating expenses, which are down 51 percent compared to last year, as the first sign that the company is getting back on track towards profitability. But Chen is looking at the past for BlackBerry's next move, instead of being the forward thinker the company so desperately needs.

So they finally see that BB10 failed and yeah, when you fire over half of your workforce, that tends to cut down on expenses.

quote:

Last month, Chen announced that the company would introduce more smartphones with keyboards to appeal to its core audience, and today he revealed that the BlackBerry Bold, a smartphone first introduced in 2011, will be reentering production. The Bold runs BlackBerry 7 and is the quintessential BlackBerry smartphone — it has a great keyboard and strong messaging features, but is weak for browsing the web, using apps, or taking photos, things many people do with their smartphones today. Thanks to a new manufacturing partner, Chen says this run of the Bold will actually be sold at a profit, whereas it was a loss leader when it was initially brought to market. He didn't say where the Bold will be sold, but it's likely that BlackBerry will sell it in the same emerging markets that its been selling other BlackBerry 7 devices.

Hey, remember when we were loosing market share and struggled to come up with something different? Let's go back and do the thing that almost put us out of business to begin with.

quote:

The reintroduction of the Bold is based purely on customer demand, claims Chen. "Our customers still love the BB OS device, particularly BB7 devices," he said. "We’ll continue to make these devices available and support the operating system as long as there is customer demand."

Those Crackberry guys will buy dog poo poo in a box if we tell them to.

quote:

The refocus on BlackBerry's core features — keyboards and messaging — may ignite cheers from its existing fan base, but it likely won't do much to grow the company.
