Change= General Dynamics Sectera Edge
So here's the dealio. Obama gets to keep his beloved BlackBerry
, but he can only use it to tell Michelle he's late for dinner. For all business purposes, Obama will get a highly secure General Dynamics "Sectera Edge."Compare the General Dynamics Sectera Edge to the Blackerry
Assuming Obama has a BlackBerry 8700, (that's just what I heard) it weighs about 4.7. oz. Obama's new Sectera Edge has been described as "clunky," its nearly 2x the weight at 12 oz.
Both the old blackberry and the new Sectera Edge have the qwerty pad--making texting easy.
