Aside from the two videos released over a month ago, has anyone seen any marketing of the Priv?
I've seen nothing. Even my carrier, whose Facebook page as been peppered with inquiries about the Priv, only just made it officially part of its lineup last Friday, with absolutely no fan fare. Not even a big splashy post on the page...nothing. I came across it quite by accident on their website. It's down near the bottom of the page.
Anyone seen anything in the way of marketing either by BlackBerry or carriers?
I haven't seen too much, although on LINKEDIN they keep pushing out links to independent reviews and other PRIV info. The PRIV is a concept phone, I don't think they're trying to sell 10's of millions of them.... just sell what they targeted and wait for the PRIV2 (or something similar in the Premium phone category) to come along. They will probably spend more cash to market their next droid phones to an even wider audience.
What marketing? I'd say they went for the absolute bare minimum which is too bad because this was Blackberry's chance to change their image and hit it out of the park.
