President-elect Barack Obama may have to give up his BlackBerry. Well, not the entire phone, just the email. According to a CNN.com report:
The president's e-mail can be subpoenaed by Congress and courts and may be subject to public records laws, so if a president doesn't want his e-mail public, he shouldn't e-mail, experts said. And there may be security issues about carrying around trackable cell phones.
Obama transition officials haven't made a decision on what the new president will or will not carry, but those who have been there say it's unlikely he'll carry his BlackBerry and he may be in for some withdrawal pains. Users who constantly check their devices often call themselves crackberry addicts.

Maybe he could go to rehab with Lindsay Lohan and while there, give her the memo that 'colored' is so last season.
