President Obama confirmed on Thursday that he gets to have his blackberry, but lawyers and the Secret Service have decreed strict rules, reports The New York Times.

Among them:

• Only a small number of people will have his address.
• Those people must first be briefed by the White House counsel’s office.
• Obama’s messages will be designed so they cannot be forwarded.

Little details are provided as officials are keeping them to the minimal for “security reasons”
