Have you noticed President Obama is never photographed using a mobile anymore? Here are some pics from The Official White House Photostream on flickr by Pete Souza.
Given how many hours the President must spend on a phone, is a Bluetooth or other wireless headset out of the question?

Or (in case they're worried about someone intercepting the BT signal) he could even use a corded headset?
@d-wreck, this is the first time the White House official photographers have released their work for public use, so its a bit novel. Despite some rigorous editing (no photos of Mr. President adjusting his trousers or picking his nose) you can see some moments when things are happening.
I was struck by the 1990s industrial style utilitarian phones Mr. Obama uses. They seem out of place in our mobile 21st century. There are clearly excellent reasons (such as the President's staff dials everything) but the arrangement ties the man to a desk.
