Google CEO caught sporting a BlackBerry
Apparently the only way to stop people from continuously sending this tip in is to run it, so here we go: Eric Schmidt was caught rocking a BlackBerry. Oooooooo. Sure Google’s CEO can have his pick from the current stock of Android-powered handsets and likely from amongst a handful of unannounced devices as well. It would appear as though Schmidt knows what everyone else in the free world knows, however — if you want to get stuff done, use a BlackBerry. We imagine Schmidt has a handful of Android devices he uses as well of course, but it’s always fun to point and laugh. So people… Point and laugh.
Thanks to everyone who sent this in!
LAME….
That’s a clever way to make BGR posting stuff…………
I figured he might be testing out some sweet new Google software on the Blackberry (Google Voice anyone?). How about an Android powered Blackberry? Now its just crazy talk…
it’s uh TOUR!?!
I like his shameless Google sticker on the back. He’s not like Bill Gates who doesn’t allow Apple products in his house.
Ha…BGR is so mean.
HA! looks like a Tour though!
Its a storm or a curve 8900.
Nah Its a BB Strom running on Android dnt you see the sticker on the back duuhhh..
Give Engadget a little credit why don’t ya Zach?
Who fucking cares?
He’s photographing U2 or that Meyer dude at one of the shows…
Give Engadget credit for what? This isn’t even their story…
Anyway it’s like people said. Google makes apps for BlackBerrys so Google people need BlackBerrys. I’m sure Schmidt uses his for more than just testing but Google knows better than to think current Android devices can compete with BlackBerry for productivity/enterprise use.
Lol… Your bitchiest blog post yet, Zack.
(Congrats!)
Schmidt likely used a BB for years before Android came out. It’s hard to switch gears like that. I’m sure he has multiple phones.
What is with these dumbasses who start the comments off with ‘lame”???
It’s an Apple iPhone with a Blackberry logo and a Google sticker
At WES 2009 a gmail version of BES was shown and as noted they have a bunch of Blackberry apps so I’m sure there is plenty of Blackberry at Google.
It’s a 8900.
Wow…you people need to get a life …..who the hell cares
Sent from my Palm Pre….
Why wouldn’t he have an iPhone. He is on the Apple board of directors.
He’s a Suit, he Needs a Blackberry. It’s the Law.
He looks like he’s taking an upskirt pic or spying on his neighbors.
Looks like the google sticker is covering a Property of RIM sticker on the back of the Pre-production phones. Any grab his PIN?
Its because once you use the crack(berry) you can’t go back…
probably can’t get t-mobile sevice there
