That Girl who says "When you read the message, i know you read it" Thats my All time favorite feature. I am a very honest person and if you read them and don't respond i will make sure i let you know that i am aware of this... hahahah

...RIM's starting to get the flow goin' :-D

the one in the barber shop is my favorite...im always on BBM when im getting a hair cut...my barber seems pretty interested in it...i think im finally convincing him to switch to #TeamBlackBerry

*update: wooow i never saw any of the BBM commercials on tv until just this second...it was the one with both the guy about the cars and the surfer...

yet typical RIM if you ask me. Is it really good to only show the satisfaction the customers have with the product rather than display the actually uses and functions of it?

I think this is a very worthwhile ad campaign for RIM. In my opinion access to BBM is one of the biggest benefits of owning a BlackBerry. The few times I've considered migrating to a different platform, BBM is what made me reconsider. I really depend on it to communicate with most of my friends and family.

They NEED to figure out how to get my keyboard to show up in BBM chat rooms!

Pimping out one of their currently most unstable features isn't likely the best idea? lol.

Whenever I'm in a group chat (it HAS to be a group chat) my keyboard will never show up. I can hit the "show keyboard" key until my fingers fall off, and it will not show! now on a one-on-one chat...no problems. oh, I have the Storm2.

keep it up, in the groove now :)

Thats funny a BBM commercial coming out at the same time i was about to erase my BBM from my phone. Every1 that i know that had a blackberry dosent anymore, i've got like 5 contacts left and 4 of thosae people i dont really talk to.....some1 let me know when the droid train is comin im bout to jump on.

I especially like that they are not using button up suit types.

It requuires that the people that you comunicate with have a Blackberry. If you are in a corporate setting that requires BB's and all your friends work there then BBM is the way to go.

Most of my "friends" have just purchased their 1st smartphone within the last year... and they were not BB's, so BBM is becoming less and less relevant in my case.

That this has stirred up the "haters" lol!

ah well to each their own yes?

I love bbm and my Storm 2!!! I think this is mainly for the enthusiasts that are sticking with RIM and the bb phones they own.

To all the ppl that hate it and could care less about why comment? Do you know that that's about 2-5 minutes of your life wasted that you will never get back?

Go to your iphone & Droid forums and be more productive yes?

yeah i have 90+ bbm friends (obviously i dont contact them all regularly) but bbm is going strong. it's one of the main reasons to have a blackberry over any other smartphone in my opinion. as a college student, the people from high school that i've kept closest in touch with have bbm.

i would love it if bbm was compatible with other phones though,(iphone especially).

also the delivered and read functions are amazing - bbm's just... better than texting. it's hard to explain to people who don't use it.

Oh gosh, I absolutely HATE the feature of knowing if the other person has read your msg or not. It drives me nuts. For example, if you are in some type of important conversation or an argument or something and you send a whole damn paragraph... They read it but don't respond. It seriously pisses me off. Other than that, I like it. Hahaha.

I had never seen a use for BBM when I got my phone 4 months ago. I thought it was pointless until my best friend told me to add her to BBM about a month ago. After that I was hooked and am on it quite a bit. I think its awesome and one of the best features. I have never had any issues with its stability either. And the commercials have just the amount of vagueness about BBM that it will draw potential customers to get curious enough to check out BB just to see all the features. I think they did a good job.

RIM, major fail here.

I just don't find any of these people in those situations as believable. You are still trying to make your devices as the platform for all. Yet the bread and butter still seems to be the corporate customer. There wasn't one damn corporate use case in these videos.

And that music in all the videos......I felt like I was at the Country Bears Jamboree at Disneyworld.

What you should focus on for BBM is that you can: BBM/TXT YOUR FRIENDS WHO ARE ALSO ON BBM FOR.....wait for it....FREE.

I love BBM because every single one of my friends, family, and colleagues has a Blackberry, so I can talk to them whenever I want.

Oh wait... only 3 of my friends have a Blackberry, and it's not even friends I talk to that often.

I admit, BBM is great for people who have large numbers of contacts with Berrys. It's a nice application. For me, though, I'm going to have to stick with Google chat - it's cross-platform, which allows me to stay in touch with more of my friends, family, and colleagues than BBM ever could.

That's the only thing they can advertise since everything else sucks on Blackberries. Only BBM is what's keeping people on these devices and it was a hard decision for me to make but it was worth it leaving it behind.

I think the spots are great. But I do think there will be that 20% who don't like it and wont take to it. The same people who don't take to other apps like Twitter or Facebook. At any rate, has anyone else noticed BBM issues the last 3 days? Messages being undelivered or sent in the wrong order, not to mention lack of delivered, and read receipts on some messages.

I have a couple of friends who switched over to the iphone, and all they talk about is how they wish they still had BBM....and a phone that can make phone calls. ha.
