Im seeing two or three BeBold new commercials daily on TSN, but what if anything has been on TV in the States??

In one Devcon presentation they showed Nobex Radio on 3 Bold phones...BBM integration and how 3 phones (people/friends) shared a music listening experience together...

I can see a commercial where phone after phone after phone after is added in this BBM way...with the right song and this idea of a growing network of BB phones, it could be cool

Well I saw Blackberry pulling a product placement ad in the show "Revenge". But no real commercials :/. I mostly watch ABC and ABC Family so that could be why.

Seems that RIM is making a positive try on the right direction.

I've seen my first BB ads here in the czech republic. Just poster ads around the city in high traveled areas. Its nice to see.

Yea I've been seeing BlackBerry Adds l8ly too....now they just need to work on GOOD BlackBerry Adds.

They need to show people using their phones, let people make a connection with the phone. Not just have someone talk to you about the phone. We are not all famous DJ's or restaraunt execs. Direct the Adds to the average Joe

Agree with above poster. I'm over the DJs.

The latest Ad for iPhone and Siri was awesome! I loved it. It showed uses for Siri while on various road trips.

I relate to that. I hope BlackBerry does something like that ad. Was really neat. Made me think...Siri looks handy for travel.

i wish the commercials would stop pushing BBM though (at least in the US). Unless you know tons of people with Blackberry's its pretty useless.

they should focus more on the actual phone and the advantages of Blackberry (improved browser, long battery life, keyboard + trackpad + touch combo, compressed data, etc.)

but im still glad to see the Bold finally getting some promo

Me too. And I don't mind them pushing BBM. It is a great app IF you know anyone using a BlackBerry still!

I want everyone I know using a BlackBerry so I can use BBM again.

I'd like to shoot the guy who came up with the glowing bicycle.......just what message were they trying to send ?

I can't figure it out.....

Was that a P'9981 being used in last night's episode?

I totally agree with this comment. It's great to see the advertising, but there's nothing in the commercials that would show an existing BB user why the new Bold is better than his/her existing Bold.

For the crowd that doesn't own a BB, RIM needs to show universal search, integrated messages, keyboard + touchpad + touch combo, BB Travel, BB Traffic, BB Music, etc.
