Wow is anybody else seeing this? The Blackberry Bold is prominently featured all thru Dck Clark's Rockin NY special. Lots of commercials for the 9900 and big billboards behind all the musical performers showcasing the Bold. Other than the Disney banners it is the most noticeable neon on the show. Is this part of RIM's $100 million dollar spending spree?
If you cannot read the print it says "Brought to you
by Blackberry Bold"
they did a great campaign on this, #BeBold for Twitter and then all the Bold ads. Looking good for RIM in 2012! Really stoked on my 9900, best phone i've had to date!
That's awesome, I finally saw my first Bold commercial while watching the history channel, oh and the guys on American Pickers use BB's too I hope the marketing helps RIM sell some more BlackBerrys
I read the blog so I knew that BB was going to be "sponsoring" the NYE event, but when I actually saw it on TV, I was actually impressed by how well (and how much) the product placement was.

next, they should have the Bold in a Michael Bay movie.
Love my 9900. But RIM's falling apart at the seams, due primarily to bad management and planning. The fact that they have a media blitz months after the device was released is indicative of this.

I agree. While I am happy about this new advertising campaign, I think it should have been started when OS7 devices launched and before the holidays, not at the end of the shopping season. That would have pushed the sales a lot and helped with public perception and share prices. I just hope that management learned from their mistakes and don't repeat them, 2012 is the last chance for RIM to make a comeback. Or else...
I go back to work on Tuesday after having some time off. I bet my co-workers will say, "Hey, I saw your phone on TV on NYE, you were right, I should have gotten the new Bold!".
A lot of people say Rim is doing a mistake by pushing these phones after the Holiday season. I totally disagree when it comes to cell phones I think this is the best time.
Working in cell phone stores for many years and now currently at AT&T our biggest profit months are Jan,Feb,March,July and of course whatever month a new iPhone is launched.
I saw a number of 9900 adverts on TV. I love them.
But they HAVE to show more of the touch screen use! I absolutely love this blackberry, sometimes it mucks up on me with the shift or alt-del clearing what I typed (I almost always forget to copy it lol), I still love it. Extremely fast to type on and less typos. My 9700 is still the easiest to type on and I'm using it right now to stream internet radio via wifi using miroamer (I have the same thing on the 9900 ). Best smartphone I have ever used.
this advertising won't help them.they should start advertising their lifeline qnx device.should say something like "its coming-meteor from another galaxy,supernormal capabilities,will transform smartphone communication,the laser,the prism,the crown jewel of another dimension-an all touch qnx cyborg. rim really needs to do advertising thats eye popping like this.apple really is the front runner in advertising.
