The winner of our favorite BlackBerry-obsessed celeb in 2008, President Barack Obama — who was hopeful he'd be able to keep his BlackBerry in the White House — was photographed with none other than his beloved smartphone last week before his healthcare reform speech at the University of Maryland.

We haven't seen him with his BB in a while, and when he didn't appear to have it on his first day in the Oval Office, we thought the BlackBerry had gone bye-bye. Although we did learn later that he'd be able to keep it for personal use, so maybe he was checking in with Sasha to see if she took Bo for his walk?
