| |  Blackberry on TV and Film
Hi
Lately I was watching a TV drama - it may have been "The Hustle" or "Spooks", I can't quite remember - and the main characters, when making mobile phone calls were using iPhones.
Sometimes this indirect advertising is more powerful than the dedicated in-your-face commercials, especially if the device is being used by a "cool" character in the TV/Film - its subliminal.
It would be great to get Blackberries on screen, in use by some "cool" characters.
C'mon RIM, lets see those Berries on the big and small screen.
Cheers
J

Lately I'm seeing a few BBs in TV and movies.
Ex. The playbook (with support from a Torch) will star in one movie coming out soon, something about a plane, it's in another thread

Well on the first few episodes of Alcatraz, the main character was using a BB, but I noticed on the most recent episode she is now using an Android :s

Mission Impossible: Ghost Protocol was nothing but iphones. I was thinking, really? Come on. Throw at least one BB in there!

In "White Collar" they use BB's. I think the main character has been using a Torch.

You can see quite a few BlackBerrys in Burn Notice, in an episode the other day, I eyeballed an 8100, a 9000, and a 9700.
I've also seen them on Royal Pains, and at least one other show, the name slips my mind, but the lady pshrink who works in the sports field. I could look it up, but I'm having a lazy moment.

The behind the camera crew doesn't really care what the phones are as long as they're offered free or the cheapest. Most phones are offered to movies and TV for free, just for the exposure. But I've heard all kinds of phones misidentified as iPhones in audience conversations. And anything with a keyboard identified as a Blackberry.
It's nice to see Blackberries clearly shown on NCIS. Since that's the most popular show on TV and there's an aura of high tech, it's a nice product placement. And, no, last time I looked Gibbs had what was supposed to be the dumb phone equivalent of a secure phone. But he's a blatantly low tech character.

I saw "Due Date" recently on HBO, Robert Downey Junior used a Black Berry Bold 9000 the entire movie. I remember there was a line when the air marshal said put your device down, Robert Downey character said "It's not a device, it a BlackBerry" |

I know Hotch on Criminal Minds has used BB in the past. Also I remember getting all excited when I saw Garcia using a Sidekick 3 because that's what I had at the time.

Emily Thorne was holding "Amanda's" white Blackberry (bold?) in the latest episode of the tv series, Revenge.
