Chances are, they're talking about a BlackBerry smartphone. A BlackBerry is a smartphone made by the Canadian company Research In Motion. BlackBerry phones are known for their excellent e-mail handling and are often thought of as business-centric devices. BlackBerry handhelds actually started out as data-only devices, meaning they could not be used to make phone calls.

The National Security Agency was responsible for first setting up Obama's BlackBerry when he was president-elect in 2008. The phone was stripped of most of its functionality to make way for extra layers of encryption.
