1. The Top 10 Celebrities and
Politicians Who Use
BlackBerry Smartphones

2. Despite the fact that the iPhone has been leading the
smartphones sales in the past few years, RIM’s BlackBerry
smartphones seem to be racing in a different field. In recent
reports, we found out that more celebrities prefer using BlackBerry
than iPhone. About 543 celebs were spotted using their BlackBerry
mobile phones with BlackBerry Curve and BlackBerry Bold taking
the lead.
Just why do celebs and politicians prefer BB? For the most part,
BlackBerry has been known to champion email and PDA functions
so schedules, fan mails and Twitter feeds are easier to do. In the
case of world leaders and politicians, BlackBerry is more popular
than Apple’s iPhone because it has extremely good data
encryption methods and has more secure servers. The BlackBerry
smartphone is also known to be wiretap proof. So before you sell
used BlackBerry phonesin the black market to get what your
favorite celebs are using, take a look at the top of the list of the
ten famous people who use BlackBerry.

3. 1. Barack Obama
The number one on our list is no other
than the current President of the
United States, B. Obama. He was the
former senator of Illinois and is a
freakin’ alumnus of Harvard. His
Wikipedia page is longer than any
pages of the people that are
aforementioned in the list and he is
also the first black U.S. President. But
the primary reason he’s number one
is because he once said “I’m still
clinging to my BlackBerry. They’re
going to pry it out of my hands.” Mr.
President, why wouldn’t you want to
sell used BlackBerry phones?

4. 2.Queen Elizabeth II
Almost every one of us must be familiar
with the English monarchy. Come on, it’s
in every history book. And who would’ve
known that the Queen’s companion
would be a BlackBerry phone? Elizabeth II
is known as the queen of the
Commonwealth and is the head of the
Commonwealth of Nations. She is also
considered as the Supreme Governor of
the Church of England. Why is she on this
list? It’s because she’s been in throne
since World War II but she can still use .

5. 3. Lady Gaga
The little monsters must be so happy to see their mother on the top of the list. Lady
Gaga can be considered a BlackBerry gaga because aside from her iPhone she
sports a BlackBerry Curve and a BlackBerry Tour. The mere fact that her name is
often linked to pop culture (or cult) would be enough explanation as to why she’s
on number three, but we’d also like to point out that she has sold 23 million albums,
has five Grammy awards, was listed as WH1’s 100 Greatest Women in Music and
was hailed by Time as one of the most influential people in the world. If she were to
sell used BlackBerry phones on eBay we’re sure it would bound to be a hell of an
auction.

6. 4. Katy Perry
Not everyone knows that Katy Perry was
once a gospel music singer and was born
in a very Christian family. But what we
know for sure is that she is the only artist to
stay for over 52 consecutive weeks in the
Top Ten of the Billboard Hot 100. She has
eight Grammy awards under her belt and
more than 11 million albums sold
worldwide. She was also the first female in
music history to ever have five number
one singles in one album. She’s a solid
BlackBerry user from the start but she also
has a Windows Phone 7 which she
promoted in her album.

7. 5. Justin Bieber
Just like best buddy Taylor Swift, Justin
Bieber also has the option between
iPhone and BlackBerry but often uses BB
for his Tweets. This Canadian teen icon
has been turning heads by singing and
songwriting. He was first discovered
through YouTube and was very much
remembered for his hair. He was also the
first artist to have seven songs from a
debut album to ever hit the Billboard Hot
100 Charts. His numerous number one hits
catapulted him to netting an Artist of the
Year award from the 2010 AMAs.

8. 6. Taylor Swift
If you weren’t aware of the
existence of the first four people
mentioned, you may as well know
this one. She’s the ever sweet
country pop icon that every girl in
America wanted to be. Taylor Swift is
very much known for bagging four
Grammy awards and numerous Artist
of the Year awards. She is also the
69th most powerful celebrity in
Forbes’ 2009 list. Apparently, she
owns an iPhone too but she is
spotted carrying her BlackBerry Tour
more often. With that pretty face,
we think she could easily sell
BlackBerry to any teenager out
there!

9. 7. Sarah Palin
She went head to head with Joe Biden in the
race for the Vice Presidency in 2008 and got
the lowest vote of confidence from the
Americans since 1988. She’s not that bad
though; she’s actually the first Republican
woman and Alaskan to ever be nominated for
vice president position. She’s also the former
governor of Alaska and she’s actually the
youngest and the first woman who had that
position. She’s also an author and a TV host.
Her BlackBerry text mates? Probably co-
BlackBerry user Mike Huckabee who is the
former governor of Arkansas.

10. 9. Felipe Calderon
History and politics junkies may be
very familiar with his last name or him
for that matter. Felipe Calderon is
the current President of Mexico and
is the son of Luis Calderon Vega who
founded the National Action Party of
Mexico. He was very well known for
initiating the establishment of many
hospitals and his strong initiatives in
environmentalism, education
programs and wars against drugs. His
BlackBerry buddies include Hugo
Chavez who is the current President
of Venezuela.

11. 10. Tenzin Gyatso
You may not be very familiar with him but we’re pretty sure that the Chinese nation
knows him. And if that’s the case then it means he’s popular because not only is
China considered the most populous country in the world, it’s also the world leader
in mobile phone ownership. So who is he anyway? He’s the 14 th Dalai Lama of the
Tibetan Buddhist lineage. He’s the heir of government of the Tibet Autonomous
Region and won the Nobel Prize way back in 1989. He actually falls in the line of
political world leaders and is regarded by many Buddhists as the reincarnation of
the Bodhisattva of Compassion. And yes, he uses BlackBerry to send out Buddhist
prayers to people inside and outside of Tibet.
