H All:

The US president can use a cell phone as long as it is a Blackberry. The reasons sited for not using other market products is because of security, lack of encryption and no single central control point. In these days of the NSA who can you trust.

Aside: The core to the Blackberry code, much like Apple used BSD, came from version of UNIX called QNX. (It is also used by the local observatory.)
