President Elect Obama Needs a BlackBerry Bold! By Kevin Michaluk | 08 Nov 2008 16:55 | 
77 comments
Pictured Above... Senator Barack Obama, BlackBerry 8700 on hip, in his Chicago hotel room on November 4th as he waits to find out if people will soon be referring to him as President Elect Obama. We all know how that turned out! But SERIOUSLY. Now that Barack Obama is going to be the President of the United States of America, I think it's MANDATORY that he should upgrade to the BlackBerry Bold immediately. The economy, the war, healthcare, international relationships... the list of issues to tackle may be huge, but the real 1st order of business for President Elect Obama is to upgrade his BlackBerry! With that snappy 624mHz processor, 480 by 320 high resolution display, OS 4.6, 3G, and GPS and WiFi, compared to the 8700 the Bold is going to let Obama tackle that to do list so much faster. And besides, he got elected on the same day the Bold was released by AT&T. This is a no brainer! And if using the 8700 is a conservative spending issue, then somebody in the know let ME know... I'll send Obama my personal BlackBerry Bold. Consider it good diplomatic relations between CrackBerry Nation and the US of A! :-)

Maybe Obama should get one of his illegal foreign campaign contributors to buy him one.
With the new president-elect he should buy the middle class all a new Bold. By the end of his term we will be lucky to be able to afford a BB
Move Back to Canada IDIOT!
Aaah... the party of love, tolerance and acceptance.
To Voice of Reason;
If you understood any of the election issues and read anything beyond the New York Times, CNN, etc., you would see that my comments (and concerns) are based in fact.
As far as your comment as to me being an Idiot.... I will let that one go and consider the source. Have a nice evening!
Not every conspiracy theory you read elsewhere is always true.
I agree with you, he's worthless. The only thing he's going to "change" is his dirty underwear every day. People think he's a miracle worker, only problem is, he hasn't DONE anything!! Try living in IL for a while, where he's been a senator, he's worthless.
Its obvious you are still hurting that McCain didn't win, its OK... couple of sessions of therapy and you too will learn to accept change.... repeat after me...YES WE CAN...YES WE CAN...
ROFL.
you said it all my friend :]
was completely uncalled for.. IDIOT.. majority of Canadians WANTED Obama in office.
The majority of Canada did favour the messiah.
The best thing that happened was Stephen Harper was re-elected as prime minister. He is the leader of the Conservative party. 18 of 19 major newspapers endorsed Mr. Harper. They normally support the liberal party. Given the world financial crisis they thought Harper was best for the country at this time.
In the US, the major media did a grave disservice by not providing any sort of balanced viewpoint. Evidence of this was he trashing of Hillary and McCain
It definitely time for the change....or at least upgrade to a Curve....!!!
The next 4yrs will be full of 'Change'!!!!
If you look real closely, Biden is wearing a pager...
please he can buy one
This is a BLACKBERRY post. Not a Political Post. If you want to do any political bashing of any kind, save those comments for a political blog.
We only like to Rave and Rant about smartphones here.
Thanks!
I think the headline is asking for controversy. A less controversial headline could have been used.
I don't think it's the headline. It's political and unfortunately it doesn't matter what the headline is or whether it's a picture of Obama or McCain. Someone would have posted political comments. Oh well...
I changed the title a bit. Though I don't see how the original was in any way controversial at all.
The original post was political... um... what do you expect?
Hey B. Hussein Obama released his plan to bring bin Laden out of hiding...
He's going to make him Secretary of State :)
Thanks crackberry.
Seriously.... why all the Political crap?
It's so pointless, you bashing Obama and saying you can't believe he won, or that he's going to ruin the country isn't going to help matters any.
Cause the Fact of the matter is.... you can't do Jack Shit to change what's happened... sorry if I busted you peoples bubble!
I think you should send him a letter offering him your Bold and see what kind of response you get...lol
I completely agree w/you Kevin. We should start a CB fundraiser for it. Help him stay on top of his game. lol
I thought I could go to the crackberry site and not have to see with another headline about Obama.
Started visiting this site to help me solve problems as a new BB user.
This election left me very cynical about the whole US election process
My apologies
You're not the only one, brother.
Just to make my viewpoint clear...
If the roll was reversed and it was John McCain with a BlackBerry 8700 in the same type of photo I would have made the exact same blog post just with different names.
I'm all about the BlackBerry...and the BlackBerry used by the President Elect of the USA is definitely something to blog about. He needs a Bold!
Re: CrackBerry.com's Content, we cover it all. You'll find no shortage of help on this site - click through the blog categories, forums, BlackBerry 101s, etc. But we ARE CrackBerry.com - means we gotta have some fun on the social side too - CrackBerry Sightings, Humor, etc. It's a website.. if you don't like a piece of content just scroll down or click to the next forum post.
Kev,
I don't think your post was in any way biased... in your example if McCain won, you would have people posting a political response to it, just as happened here.
Well said Kevin!
McCain would have had the Bold, 'cause he helped invent the Blackberry!!! ;-)
pmjohnson99,
The Inventor of the RIM BlackBerry is Mike Lazaridis, NOT Senator John McCain. Mr. Lazaridis is also the Founder of Research in Motion (RIM).

"BLACKBERRY for LIFE"
I definitely agree. The bold is such a great business device. For President-elect Obama, a bold would make his life much easier. Many CNN anchors carry their blackberries around for example, Anderson Cooper. Here's a funny thought: Would the President every carry an iphone? I believe its never gonna happen.What if President Obama selects the Storm instead? Or what if he waits until the Magnum arrives? What are people going to say?
In my opinion, the bold is more suited for President-elect Obama instead of the storm. What do you think?
We can call it the Obama 'bat phone'
It's ring tone will be 'Yes We Can"
I think it should be "You Ain't Seen Nothing Yet."
Hey! I still have an 8703! hahaha
Bring on the STORM!!!
If I send Michelle my 8310, will you let me have your 8900??? Can't wait to get my hands on one. Cheers!
maybe he just likes blue??
I think he probably prefers RED, comrade :)
I see we have a few bitter McCain/Palin fans in here..lol. Tough luck, Deal with it.
Now back to what's actually important....Obama, Upgrade to the Bold!!!
What a guy!! Go Kevin.
To bad he can't have one. You can't have anyting that is capable of taking pictures in a classified area. I suppose if his security team dismantled the camera it might fly though.
I heard this to. So the only upgrade he can get is a 8800 lol.
Point well made and it does bring up a subject I have not seen addressed lately. With all the new BB Models being released it's time they release a new model for all of those people with jobs where they cannot have a camera. I certainly hope RIM doesn't forget about those users. I'm thinking a Camera- less Javelyn type device would fit the bill nicely.
Bad idea. It would be our luck that he needed to make a call to get "the button" pushed and the battery would be dead on the Bold.
I was afraid that I would see comments like this. To those of you who didn't like the outcome of the election, get over it or go to other political blogs to vent. Keep it to the subject at hand please. And Yes, he needs a Bold right now.
The government probably has special mods on the blackberries for security and the mods are probably not available on the new phones yet.
... , an iPhone app., to BlackBerry. Obama '08 is a most impressive mashup that, in terms of features and functionality, probably sets a standard for any political campaign mashup, regardless of party. Integration to Address Book, RSS feeds, GPS/location-based services, campaign database and more.
But only the Bold facilitates full 2-way conversation and communications. There is so much more (or his team) he could do on any GPS-enabled BlackBerry.
Mr. President has a cute purse.
I don't care what type of phone Obama carries personally, I care about myself getting a Bold before anyone else. If he were to have one it wouldn't make him any more on top of things than the other he would just have a Bold.
Bottom line I would love to get my hands on one and don't care what anyone else carries.
Bold Please...
Maybe he can tax the rich more for his BlackBerry Bold. That would be a "bold" tax. Now what is he defining as rich??? $250K?? $200K??? 120K??? I dont remember, hes always changing his mind.
Poor John McCain...Too many people drank the Obama kool-aid
By the time January rolls around "rich" will be at about $75K.
Hope they release the Storm soon while I can still afford it...
since you are complaining about his tax on the rich, you obviously have money. why dont u go and buy poor john mccain and sarah palin each, a bold. Maybe sarah can learn a thing or two like...Africa being a continent...not a country.
And ladies and gentlemen... I give to you... the Obama voter.
