Spotted: Barack Obama Using His BlackBerry!
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.
