| |  No BB commercials during Super Bowl?
Guess Mr. Heins didn't get my suggestion regarding commercials during the big game, oh well. Also shocked that Apple didn't try to push the iPhone 5. Unless I missed it, did I?

Would not want to introduce "Osborne Effect" which would kill sales in the short term and not guarantee sales in the long term. O.E. is a classic mistake, pros don't make it.

No, Apple did not advertise any Iphone 5 commercials, nor did RIM show any Bold ads for us Americans.

Apple doesn't need to waste that kind of money. They'll let the media froth things up with free promotion for every little "leak" for iPhone5, again, and if it gets slow, they'll just leave one in a bar... 
So weird to see Howard Stern in a network TV commercial, especially for NBC... Can't wait for AGT.

| | Not surprised.
As much as I would have loved to have seen a BlackBerry commercial, I wasn't surprised that there wasn't one. Countless celebrities in various fields use BlackBerrys... RIM posted something with Madonna talking about her BlackBerry the other day. If RIM spent a little time researching who talks about or tweets about their products, those people would just be a phonecall away.

Samsung spent $10 million on a Super Bowl ad. Samsung airs $10 million anti-iPhone ad during Super Bowl [video]
Not many companies can afford to spend that much.

You know the rest.

Lmao @ the thought of a drunk executive throwing a tantrum while gnawing on his safety belt. Blogs had a field day with that one.

I think it's perfectly fine that they didn't advertise. Super bowl commercials are ridiculously expensive and RIM isn't very good at making commercials to say the least. I don't think we'll see a real marketing push until BB10.

Yeah that would of been a big waste of money for Rim.
Loved the Samsung commercial. About 5-6 people around me
with iPhones liked it and were talking about it lol.
guess it was worth the 10 million.
