Just saw a Z10 commercial on CBS!!

**ajst222** · 03-11-2013, 08:42 PM

About 5 minutes ago I was watching Mike and Molly on CBS and I was BBMing someone talking about the Z10 release not looking at the TV and I heard the words "BlackBerry Z10" and looked up and saw this commercial (only in an American accent...I think. I was too excited to remember lmao):

This is the first time that I had seen a Z10/BB10 commercial in the US since the Super Bowl. I think it is a good sign!

I saw the same one. I almost jumped up in excitement! Now I just need Verizon to release it.

Edit. This was the one I saw on CBS. http://m.youtube.com/watch?feature=relmfu&v=V8b1bE62GZc

Woohoo, the blitz is beginning!

When crackberry arrives in the Big Apple -- WATCH OUT! The US won't know what hit them.

Good stuff! bring on the marketing blitz!

That is excellent news. I'm looking forward for seeing a lot more advertising of the Z10 in the US media.

Same. They need to step up to the plate (which they didn't for BB7) and market the **** out of this baby! I can hardly wait

Just saw it on BBC America in Philadelphia (comcast is my provider). Can't begin to explain how excited I was to see, while using my Z10 on AT&T!

**mrbails** · 03-11-2013, 08:59 PM

I saw it too. Was on my playbook and heard the bb10 then quick rewinded to watch the whole thing. Pretty sweet if you ask me.

**BlackistheBerry** · 03-11-2013, 09:16 PM

Did it say Zed 10 or Zee 10?

Zed is what I heard

I saw the same commercial on the Food Network tonight. My wife, who just got a Note 2, said, "That's a cool phone, what is it?" When I told her it was the new Blackberry, she said "That can't be a Blackberry, I doesn't look like one.". As a typical BB hater, it was nice to see her get impressed by the commercial and the phone.

Watching Diners, Drive-Ins and Dives? Great to see a BlackBerry commercial in the US. Definitely caught my attention!

They need to not call this the ZED 10 in the USA.

Seriously, if they don't fix this, they will be laughed at in the states. When a company is disliked and you are trying to make it liked, do everything possible to not make it a punch line.

Why? Not trying to start anything, just want to know your reasoning for it.

**CDM76** · 03-11-2013, 10:19 PM

I've seen that, and a couple other, commercial in Canada already. Carriers are also marketing the phone now too .... which is awesome. A coupld of iphone users were talking about another BB commercial too. ...

**Novaone** · 03-11-2013, 10:21 PM

Hey, I caught this one in Scotiabank Theater today.. Can't lie I was kinda excited, just didn't expect it. lol

It's cool its getting out there in front of movies and on TV. I hope they don't overspend it, and launch the Q10 with the same enthusiasm.
