Finally, President Obama will soon get his BlackBerry, the Washington Times reports. According to Obama administration officials, President can use the top-secret BlackBerry 8830 in the White House or during presidential travel.

Once in hand, the president will be able to send text and e-mail and make phone calls to others with the secure software loaded on their devices. Others expected to get secure BlackBerrys include top aides as well as first lady Michelle Obama.
The software being used is called SecureVoice, developed by the Genesis Key Inc. of Washington. It can turn any BlackBerry 8830 or Curve into a device that is designed to defeat hackers, eavesdroppers and spies.
Welcome back to the BlackBerry world, Mr. President!
