    I recently started watching the series 'Suits', that started in 2011. The thing I noticed constantly is that the characters all use blackberry phones, not the ones running OS10 unfortunately, but still : beautiful product placement !
    For the ones who aren't acquainted with the series, it's about a law firm, so the workplace promotion of blackberry phones is obvious. Go check it out, it's worth the effort.

    Many law firms use BBs. Also government agencies. You see them nearly all the time in those shows/movies.

    Yup, used to be blackberry devices early on. Now, like seemingly everyone else, they have moved on to the next big thing.

    Still predominantly BlackBerry when government agencies and corporations are focused.

    When you're dealing with the situations Stamper and I deal with, you need security. That's why we use BlackBerry.

    How do you think I knew about Claire and that fancy pants artist? They use iPhone.

    It's unlikely to be smart product placement by BB (or BB10 phones would be highlighted). Instead, I suspect it's just the show's producers trying to add "authenticity" and be true to life - any show involving high-powered lawyers/government/finance types is going to show the characters using BB7 phones... because that's what they still use in "real-life".

    I just recently watched a season 3 episode where Louis is briefly amazed that Sheila is running two programs at once on what looks to be a Samsung Galaxy Note 2 or 3. They seem to be focusing much more on the Samsung devices than they ever did on the BlackBerry devices.

    Smart product placement would = marketing, so it's obviously not done by BBRY. I think they are just easily recognizable as a phone so it makes a good prop.
