    I was wasting time when I should have been studying, looking up celebrity gossip and pictures (I know, I'm the worst), and I found a slew of Indian celebs photographed with their BlackBerries. I wasn't even looking for them! I just wanted to spend 10 minutes not thinking about differential equations.

    Here is Katrina Kaif (who shills for Sony's phones I think) with a Q10:
    Indian celebrities with BlackBerries-arjun_bday_00008_0.jpg

    Here is South Indian actor Dhanush with his Q10. You can see it if you have a sharp eye:
    Indian celebrities with BlackBerries-dhanush-sonam-chennai_00019.jpg

    Here is Parineeti Chopra with a Q10 also:
    Indian celebrities with BlackBerries-dsc_6102_1-copy.jpg

    And here is the cover of a magazine called Stuff. The model is holding up a Q10:

    Indian celebrities with BlackBerries-stf.jpg

    Now I know some people are going to ask who these people are because you've sure never heard of them, and why we should even care if some silly old celebs and magazines you've never heard of carry our brand of phone.

    I thought I would post this for the rest of us who do get a puerile thrill from seeing famous people who like the things we do. I'm going to pre-empt the negative responses and just say that it IS silly and more than a little pointless, but heck I LIKE seeing famous people with BlackBerries!

    It's the base market, not celebs. If you see the reality not many are aware of BlackBerry 10, you can't expect Sachin or Katrina advertising your product in middle of movie or cricket match. However, a celebrity holding a phone is quiet obvious and if only they were flaunting would benefit the market.
    I can easily recall my friends saying, 'Hey, nice iPhone like whatever', maybe that's the reason they bought iPhone or Android. Who knows?
    But, concentrating on the base floored market is something they should do, that's what will bring us closer and bring back the LOYALTY.

    That would be step 2. I mean, we sponsor the Leafs, Raptors, and Blue Jays. Team Petronas. I don't see why we couldn't jump in on the IPL or even Team India.

    He sucks at acting though, you gotta believe that. Except for few good ones.
    I still have his Darr in my PlayBook.

    That's a Q10 on Sachin Tendulkar:

    Indian celebrities with BlackBerries-127013.jpg

    Anjali Tendulkar with Q10:

    Indian celebrities with BlackBerries-b_id_434771_sachin-tendulkar-anjali-anant-ambani.jpg

    Harbhajan Singh with Q10:

    Indian celebrities with BlackBerries-b_id_435264_harbhajan_singh.jpg

    I'll discount this one as Ranbir Kapoor reps BB:

    Indian celebrities with BlackBerries-dsc_0604_3.jpg

    So, it seems like slabs have taken to Q10 and not to Z10, Z30 or Q5...

    I'm pretty sure he secretly uses one -- back in the days when Twitter used to show from where a tweet was sent, most of SRK's would be from "Twitter for BlackBerry" :-)

    Darr was excellent. He's had some flops that's for sure. But overall I think he's pretty good.

    What phone does Amitabh have? LOL Now he is a star.

    I think Karan Johar's not too happy with his Q10. This is what he tweeted:

    Probably, the most over-rated actor (calling him an actor is an insult to that profession) in Bollywood history. What is it that you find interesting in Shah Rukh!

    It was several years ago...he was doing a show in Toronto, and I guess he had some spare time. Was at the Gap! LOL.
    Didn't have my camera on me and no smartphone at the time, so sadly no picture
