We know the familiar face of the male model used in BlackBerry Classic advertising material.

Now, he must be going around scoring contracts for photo shoots (?), or it's simply a stock photo, which isn't smart at all. Here, a VMware ad:

Excuse me, but am I going right this is the same dude, maybe even the same pic? Forgive my ignorance, but why, and who is this guy?

BlackBerry: ouch, don't you have any smart, handsome guys in your workforce who might pose for a photo shoot? Does it have to be a stock photo....!?!

Honestly, I looked at the VMware ad, and thought "BlackBerry!", then - it dawned on me -, "whattheheck...?"

Whattayerreckon, guys and gals @ CrackBerry?

:-D

Geez, go get a sense of humour. This thread was posing humour into BlackBerry until you crash the party. It's not necessary to call Mr. Chen name and make accusations. Mr. Chen at least have more class then you because he doesn't call people names.

You the one reading this in that light.

Dog pee in your favorite shoes or something?

BlackBerry hates America!

I reckon if your brand depends on a few very visible products, your ads should be unique.

That kind of thing doesn't really achieve that. Brand recognition / recognizability... 8-o

Hey, that stock photo was a thousand bux, sir... ;-)

Which is probably significantly less than 10% of what it would have taken to get a suitable picture on their own, with casting calls, hair, makeup, wardrobe, and photography sessions. Not to mention the time involved in that. You don't get that kind of picture by snapping a random dude with your smartphone on his lunch break.

That guy's nose is so crooked!

Still nearly or over a thousand bux for any of the highres versions...

C'mon guys, BB is on a budget. So they just purchase a royalty free photo for a couple of 100 bucks.
I'd rather see they used a photo of Kate Upton. But that would probably be too expensive.

Passport is definitely a beast!

The Z30 can't handle more a dozen...

Obviously buying them for his wife, Claire, who Eric is BBM videoing with in the Classic ad.

Claire is a stripper and makes more money than Eric.

He ain't got NUTHIN' on Ariane.

When you see him showing up on ads for Speed Stick or Pirelli Tires or Bank of America ads (or consumer product packaging!) let us know!
