However, you then cite only one pro for the blackberry. <BR/><BR/>The problem with your pro argument is that "millions of people every day..." use the phone and it is "constantly improved" holds no water. Windows is used by millions everyday and constantly improved, however this is not the idealized secure system. If you want a secure system, you go with something that is built specifically to be secure. Blackberry's main mission is to be used by millions of people. To do that, there is always some trade-off in security.<BR/><BR/>In your last paragraph you state that you would rather use a "secure mainstream device...". So would I. But I don't need my president using it. <BR/><BR/>Finally you say the Sectera Edge "looks like something Maxwell Smart would carry and is used by a very small number of people who are less likely to discover its flaws." Does this mean you are pro or con for the president's use of the blackberry? I can't tell.<BR/><BR/>I think you've presented every reason for him not to use it. I vote for him to stick with the Sectera.<BR/><BR/>Overall, this is the best post that I've read on this subject. It is filled with a lot of good information in a very concise fashion. <BR/><BR/>Thank you,<BR/><BR/>JFSJoseph Sucher, MD FACShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09187702675709935451noreply@blogger.com
