Celebrity BlackBerry Sighting: Homer Simpson Rockin' A BlackBerry 7230 Posted in CrackBerry Sightings on 16 Nov 2009 09:33 by Kevin Michaluk |
Ok, so maybe it's not really a celebrity BlackBerry sighting in the traditional sense, but it is a sure sign that BlackBerry Smartphones have gone mainstream, now even reaching that little 'ole famous town called Springfield. Last night on the Simpsons, Homer was spotted using a BlackBerry 7230 (or is that a 7290?!) after having been given a new position at work. I guess enterprises in cartoon land are still issuing "Old Blue" out to their users. Personally if I was Homer, I'd have asked for an upgrade to a brand spank'n new BlackBerry Bold 9700. More power, 3G and the 9700's battery life is still awesome. I wonder what the smartphone of choice for those annoying neighbors over in Shelbyville is?

Shelbyville is all about Iphone of course...
Later on in the episode it appeared to be an old style palm.
I watched this last night and was like, "HEY!"
Probably been said before, but in the show Flash Forward on ABC, the main character (Agent Benford) used to rock a Storm. But this past episode, he got a call and he whipped out a Palm Pre. What the heck??? We all know the FBI uses 'berries, not Pres. He must have been off-duty.
We need to get Homer a Storm!!!!
Shelbyville are a bunch of hicks. Even the iPhone might be too good for them. I think they use WinMobile.
the other day he had a touch screen storm
If you watched a few weeks ago, all the kids in class had cell phones. Nelson rocked an older one in the back.

Flashpoint (tv show here in Canada) is about a swat team here in Toronto and they are all rocking Storms :) It's pretty sweet stuff seeing the berries every where now
I think its time for an upgrade...homer would look good rockin' the Bold 9700...what do you guys think?
have people rockin storms. I think one of the shows was Royal Pains and Hank rocked the storm with a horrible cgi screen showing a phone call now and then lol.
At the end of the episode, the BB had turned into a Palm V when Homer threw it in the bin at the airport.
Does anybody have his PIN and maybe wants to share ;-) ?
in the first couple of eps everytime u saw a person with a phone it was a blackberry because they sponser it, but lately they all seem to have got new phones :(
so...anyone have pictures of Lenny?
