Obama's personal win: keeping the BlackBerry - Yahoo! News:

The first family settled into their new lives in the White House on Thursday as President Barack Obama won an important personal victory: He gets to keep his BlackBerry.

Obama will be the first sitting president to use e-mail, and he has been reluctant to part with his ever-present handheld device. Its use will be limited to keeping in touch with senior staff and personal friends, said White House spokesman Robert Gibbs.

"I've won the fight, but I don't think it's up and running," Obama said as he walked through the White House briefing room Thursday evening to meet reporters.

The President is allowed email, however, all email is public record. I read somewhere that GW Bush sent an email out right before his 1st inauguration saying that he wouldn't be sending any while President.
