How to sell BB10 in the US - It pains me to say this

**Powdah** · 03-04-2013, 10:02 AM

Give one to Obama - his followers will do anything he says with out even thinking.

Doesn't Obama already use a BlackBerry?

If that were the case, RIMM would have sold a ton of bolds in the US last year....

pointless thread

Lets keep the political commentary out of device discussions shall we?

**AidenSurvival** · 03-04-2013, 10:12 AM

Pointless thread, indeed.

**SF71** · 03-04-2013, 10:13 AM

Well that goes for just about anyone in the public eye. Think about it, how many people go and get a blackberry on Kevins' word. Face it Kev, your a celeb!lol

Followers mean nothing IMO, its personal preference........

Oh well - I had and have no clue who Alica Keyes is, but do know several Obama fans (mostly Iphone users ) who are switching to BB10 as soon as he gets one.

**theegoldenone** · 03-04-2013, 10:23 AM

I think Oprah would have more pull

**SF71** · 03-04-2013, 10:24 AM

@ilikebacon, thanks! My daughter can't stop laughing when she sees it. I like your quote.

Owning a Blackberry was one of the things I liked about Obamma, but like his race, favorite color, favorite food, TV show, and animals not considered when I pulled the lever.

Absolutely NOT! The chief can pay the regular price. How soon until he requests one? BBRY would be better off to give them to Michelle and the kids.

**Majestic Lion** · 03-04-2013, 10:43 AM

Someone seems upset.

**Sith_Apprentice** · 03-04-2013, 10:49 AM

You do realize that the President doesnt pay for his own device right? lol. And likely if the EOP switched over to BB10, they would get a massive discount/free devices anyway.

What about getting the Z10 in the hands of celebrities?? Once the younger crowd sees "so and so" with one, they will want to switch. Why do you think the iPhone became so popular, it's because it was the "cool" thing to have. Blackberry's are more of a business phone and are tailored to a different crowd. But to gain market shares, they want to change the perception and make it cool again and once these celebrities start using them, iPhones and Andorids will start to drop and BBRY will start to gain users.

Well, that sounds about right.

If I was in Marketing for BlackBerry, I would get Sheldon on The Big Bang Theory to use one. And then after he goes into some monologue on how superior the OS is on the device, Penny should walk in with her own Z10 doing a BBM chat with Bernadette and Amy.

He has quite a dislike for Apple

**Berry_Pink** · 03-04-2013, 11:25 AM

i thought he wasnt allowed one because he had all the extra security on his current 9900

sheldon cooper would be an awesome choice if they wanted to endorse the bbz10 in a show! loads of people watch it, they love the character and itd be just like him to yammer on about its specs without it seeming like obvious advertisement

I would also make sure by the end of the episode everyone else has a Z10 except for Raj. And the last scene will be him talking alone to himself and Siri.
