    Ok, so you have a 20 something girl typing on a regular touch screen smart phone. And she's typing furiously, and getting upset. An english man in a well tailored suit asks what's wrong. The young lady says that she's trying to yell at her boyfriend and its just impossible to type, this is not what she wants to say, whoever thought touch screen keyboards were a good idea was an *****. the man says try this and hands her a mercury. She taps away on the keyboard and smiles, and then it flashes to her boyfriend with a shocked look on his face. The the english man says "blackberry. get it right the first time. we know you didnt' want to type duck"

    bam 2 million phones sold

    Tim the tool-man Taylor. Talking about the right tool for the right job.

    Or JC and his I hate Blackberry memes would be attention getting as well.

    Honestly I don't expect anything major as far as advertising.

    Turn it into one of my typical drunk nights when one of my co-workers makes fun of my BlackBerry.

    "Alright, let's have a race to complete common every day functions"

    "Turn on your Wifi"
    iPhone user swipes, presses. BlackBerry user long presses W *click*.

    "Turn on your Flashlight"
    iPhone user swipes, folder presses, presses again. BlackBerry user long presses F *click*.

    "Compose an email"
    iPhone user presses, and presses again. BlackBerry Long presses C *click*.

    "Create a memo"
    iPhone user Swipes, Swipes, presses. BlackBerry presses D *click*.

    "Check your upcoming appointments on your calendar"
    iPhone user Swipes, presses, and presses again. BlackBerry user presses C *click*.

    "Call your best friend"
    iPhone user presses, scrolls, scrolls, presses again. BlackBerry user long presses a button *click*.

    "Open the PPT from the meeting on so and so".
    iPhone user swipes, presses, types topic, presses. BlackBerry user presses S *click*, types in the topic, presses.

    Then the BlackBerry user smirks.

    "Check all unread messages from WhatsApp, all your email clients, Line, WeChat, Hangouts, and SMS"
    BlackBerry user presses M *click*, pinches hub. The hub aggregates all unread messages from all their apps. iPhone user's jaw drops as they reach for the BlackBerry and starts fiddling with it.


    BlackBerry Mercury: Stop Swiping, start clicking.

    Or

    BlackBerry Mercury: When everything just 'clicks'.


    BAM!

    Typing without looking at the screen could be another swing. Something like this.

    In a world where everybody is walking and looking at their phones bumping into eachother but there is this young fella replying texts and trying to parry the zombie like touchscreen people. Just one thought for a series.

    Or guy is at the doctor's office and the doctor looks at his hand MR and tells him that he has lost all the power from his finger muscles and gives him a BlackBerry, he and his wife rejoice.

    After reading didn't like it that much. .

    Man with slab phones always cleans his screen from smudges and can't see everything on screen with his fingers blocking it. Sees a man with Mercury stylishly scrolls thru the PKB, along with hotkey presses for different apps.

    I know, a bit corny hehe, just pitching in my idea.

    Super Bowl ad - "Evolution" begins by showing the chimps who've been taught to use touch screens, or the zoo monkeys and gorillas who grab the phones off of visitors. Then a close-up of the Mercury keyboard.
