Blackberrys?

Curious,

Are most people still given blackberrys in IB? That seems so outdated at this point. I heard a blackberry sound in the background of one of my calls today and nearly shit myself.

If so, which model are they using?

Not a troll, I really want to know. Afraid to ask on the phone.

This shit matters, I need to be up to date on my blackberry technicals if I want a job at the goldman sax.
