    From the referenced site:

    Still, Mr. Becker noted the pitch isn�t aimed at replacing consumer�s smartphones; they can still have an iPhone for play and a BlackBerry for work. That keeps the company out of the pitched battle in the category between Apple, Samsung and leaner competitors. �That war is not on their doorstep,� Mr. Becker said.

    They've moved the doorstep!

    I guess the loss of their largest customer will cause many layoffs at BlackBerry's former ad agency, Thousand Monkeys at a Thousand Typewriters, Inc.

    LOL... Agree ;-)

    It's a nice move.
    It proves that they finally recognize the need!

    Now, let's hope they make the right ads!

    I agree with you Jim. Also will help building the awareness and the brand image of BlackBerry products.

    I would like to see work done by the agency. Get a feel for what they do and maybe what they can do for BlackBerry

    Seriously though, I really hope this helps. There seems to be good momentum with the Passport, hopefully it'll carry on with the Classic and beyond - some marketing should help.

    I was quite happy to see The passport on Discovery channel -Daily Planet last night as a new innovative device....They did a nice little comparison between SIRI & Blackberry assistant in which Assistant defiantly excelled. Also made some mention to Blend~!!

    It's going to take shelling out a lot of money to rehab the brand image if they want to do it quickly.

    Agreed, but then someone had to approve the campaign, hopefully that group/ person has gone or given something else to do.

    He probably did before, but they wanted to wait until a new phone and better sales. No point in hiring an ad agency for phones that are 8 months to 2 years old. They probably could have done it before passport launch, but at least it's done

    Why hire a new ad company? To show us what the phone can do? Preposterous! It would be faster to show us what I couldn't do.
