WASHINGTON, D.C. - Our new President–the self-proclaimed BlackBerry junkie– gets to hold on to his cherished PDA.

The White House says President Barack Obama will use a security-enhanced smartphone to communicate with senior staff and a small circle of friends.  He will also use a new top secret email address.

Still, what he writes could become part of the Presidential record. 

The administration is not offering specifics.          

There are reports the President could get a Sectera Edge, made by General Dynamics, certified by the government.

But FOX 5 has learned it could be an enhanced BlackBerry.

President Obama was reluctant to give up his BlackBerry, calling it his unfiltered connection to the world outside the “bubble.”
