    Sitting here watching some late night T.V. And saw Tim Allen whip out a BlackBerry Passport on the show.

    It looks awesome!!! He made many compliments about it.

    I will see if a clip pops up on YouTube and post it.

    Just wanted to share. A celebrity has a Passport....

    Seems to be about 4 or 5 threads started now on this topic. Would love to see them all combined into one glorious shrine of Tim Allen goodness.

    Ha! Love the way he puts it back in his back pocket and sits down nice and hard on it. Can just see iPhonians cringing. Hindsight and denial. LOL

    Has to be deliberate on his part. Subtle, but deliberate.

    Did he enable the "auto off when placed in ****" feature? Otherwise it'll make random emails and he'll get sued.

    In one breath, I liked that he was 'promoting' the Passport. In another, I was concerned about the humour made out of it, i.e., "Can it fit in your pocket?" And those sort of comments. From someone looking into or thinking of another device, other than iPhone, that can be misleading per se'...

    Yeah, but it's Tim Allen. If there's no joke in it, it fails. I thought it was just right. He showed that he had it, didn't make too big a deal of it. In particular, he acknowledged that the iPhone is a great phone but managed to convey that even so, the Passport is something special. That was the touch that made it work, in my opinion. If he had said something nasty about the iPhone, the whole thing would have been less effective, in my opinion. But instead he made it clear that even as someone who likes the iPhone...he's carrying the Passport in his pocket. That's the thing that plants the seed in people's minds.

    Exactly,.. plus if he goes on an on about the technical details, the less technically inclined (or interested) will start to feel alienated and zone off, discarding the whole thing as "not meant for them".

    Just making people aware of its existence is a huge thing.

    That's a good point you make there. People should come away from the thought that BlackBerry is something complicated. They should see that BlackBerry is back with a great phone - that's it.
