    Obama was forced to use a Blackberry while president and he hated it.

    “I get the thing, and they’re all like, ‘Well, Mr. President, for security reasons … it doesn’t take pictures, you can’t text, the phone doesn’t work, … you can’t play your music on it,’” Obama said during an appearance on The Tonight Show this week. “Basically, it’s like, does your three-year-old have one of those play phones?”

      That quote is about the replacement phone, not the Blackberry

      isn’t thrilled with this new phone either

      Any secure phone will have the same restrictions - the manufacturer doesn’t make much difference in this case

      The quote is about Obama being forced to give up his beloved BlackBerry and move to a secure phone.
