Look what I spotted in the Metro Newspaper this morning.
For those of you not familiar with the Metro. It is the most popular free newspaper that is distributed in Toronto, Ontario, Canada

Rogers had 2 full page print ads, while Virgin Mobile had a full page print ad as well.


If you've found any other print ads, drop them here.

Toronto Sun, two page spread from Rogers, smaller ad from Telus on next page.

Wow! Two page spread. That is not something we've seen for quite some time. Especially for BlackBerry phones.
I don't even remember the Nokia phones making a splash at all.

Yup! Totally saw that on the Metro today and was going to post mine up haha but it's exactly the same.

From the Toronto Sun's Rogers' ad, it says "get up to 12 months unlimited BBM Video"... so BBM video is possible via mobile data, but limits can be placed by the carrier... would that be a correct interpretation?

Perhaps there is emphasis on the "unlimited".
Video chat uses data, so perhaps some plans will go through BlackBerry servers and thus free unlimited video chat. Where as after a year, you have to use your normal data, or you will have to pay for an additional BIS plan. (Remember, BIS isn't necessarily going away, the phones are simply being opened up so that it is not "Required")
(What I'm saying is purely speculation however, so you'll have to call in for exact details.

im confused about this as my understanding was that tiered data plans were not available anymore. how can they offer just bbm video

Love this marketing! Thanks for sharing these! BB is right on track. Can't wait to see how they market Z10 in the U.S.! :-)
