I think they need to emphasize both the business and the fun aspects. Something like a businessman doing his work on the BB, then after quitting time, using the more fun, social apps.

I agree, there are plenty of misconceptions out there about the BB being boring and unable to do half of the things it can do.

When the time comes for BB10 devices to come rolling off of the assembly line, it would be great to see a huge marketing campaign for them, and have it be something that can relate to EVERYONE and not just a small niche. For example, here's something I'd like to see:

A consumer is walking down the street cursing at his blackberry. He's squinting at the small screen, saying "come on come on come on" at the spinning clock, yelling about truncated emails, etc (this would show the market that RIM can admit they've had some shortcomings in the past). He walks into a carrier pleading for a new phone. The rep says "I have just the thing for you." He pulls a device from behind the counter and sets it down. The rep zips through the OS pointing out key/new features and shows off the raw power of the device. The consumer is left in awe with a look of pure amazement in his eyes. He asks what kind of phone this is. The rep smiles and turns the phone over to show the shiny blackberry logo on the back. Then it ends with a tagline like "the Bold just got daring" or "this isn't the Blackberry you remember" along with the launch date.

Something like THAT would surely get people talking, imho.

They show this quite often on many channels.

The U.S./Candian version has being out since September.

This one is probably the best one yet - even know it hardly shows the actual phone.
