* BlackBerry by choice *
If only. I'd pay for that app :)

Plazmic Flame Jan 27, 2013 at 11:43 pm

Wow! RMR is talking good about BB now? Seriously, BlackBerry has so many people in it corner, they have to hit a grand slam! This is the World Series, 2 outs, final inning, time to go big or go home BlackBerry!!!

Rock and Roll This!!!

Bla1ze Jan 27, 2013 at 11:47 pm

Rick Mercer has always had a tongue in cheek love affair with BlackBerry. He is a BlackBerry user. Just look at his Twitter timeline. He uses UberSocial for BlackBerry lol.

Jonesy1966 Jan 28, 2013 at 8:33 am

He has often said he couldn't live with out his little red flashing LED. He pokes fun at BB but it's always good naturedly and with a sense of schoolboy cheekiness.

lotuslanderz Jan 27, 2013 at 11:44 pm

I dunno, I think Rick Mercer has lost his touch.

DisturbedRocks31 Jan 27, 2013 at 11:45 pm

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

Am I the only one watching all of those reports?!! LOOL

kozmo68 Jan 27, 2013 at 11:47 pm

Love it!

Andrew4life Jan 27, 2013 at 11:50 pm

I thought that voice sounded familiar. Oh man, Rick Mercer cracks me up.

chiamattt Jan 27, 2013 at 11:51 pm

*chuckle*

ovi08 Jan 27, 2013 at 11:57 pm

Love it. May RMR and BB live for ever.

greatwiseone Jan 28, 2013 at 12:01 am

Awesome.

TeaBoy Jan 28, 2013 at 12:02 am

I think we have a winner!! Give him the blackberry 10 device!

SuperionMaximus Jan 28, 2013 at 10:20 am

He probably already has one. Being a Canadian Celeb and a long time BlackBerry user, he probably got one early

ACarter100 Jan 28, 2013 at 12:05 am

LOL. Good stuff.

spencerdl Jan 28, 2013 at 12:06 am

F-U-N-N-Y.......NICE

sheeraz_aa Jan 28, 2013 at 12:09 am

LOL man i actually thought this was an app..awh man.

Jimcmf Jan 28, 2013 at 12:09 am

That is great.

Any predictions what the super bowl commercial will be like for BB ?

SuperionMaximus Jan 28, 2013 at 10:27 am

I'd be happy if it was this video. If BlackBerry becomes the new hotness, apple really will start to fall from grace as they really don't innovate or lead anymore in any area. Even Siri, two years old, and the pre-release version of BlackBerry 10 Voice control beats her in accuracy for composing a text via dictation.

Apple today is exactly where RIM was in 2008. We all know what happened to RIM after to Bold 9000. If Apple doesn't innovate, then market share will stop slipping and start plummeting.

Djlatino Jan 28, 2013 at 12:17 am

ahahaha just watched it

TomJasper Jan 28, 2013 at 12:23 am

That needs to go viral! Freekin hilarious.

morganplus8 Jan 28, 2013 at 12:26 am

I'm a huge Rick Mercer fan so this needs to get out there, very funny, unless of course you own AAPL! Thanks!

00stryder Jan 28, 2013 at 12:43 am

Hahaha that was funny, especially since it WASN'T an ad by RIM

Jimcmf Jan 28, 2013 at 12:52 am

They know that once BB10 arrives, Apple is done.

Professional_Tickle_Fighter Jan 28, 2013 at 1:01 am

"done?" come on now....

Iamanonymous62 Jan 28, 2013 at 1:10 am

Don't bother yourself with that poster, nobody takes him serious!

Bold_until_Hybrid_Comes Jan 28, 2013 at 1:03 am

the media has its new whipping boy

Iamanonymous62 Jan 28, 2013 at 1:08 am

Rim doesn't sell any new phones and the stock price goes up, Apple has record sales and the stock price goes down, you know the market is in for a correction at some point!

SuperionMaximus Jan 28, 2013 at 10:35 am

For the same reason as RIM took such a big hit for the last couple years.

Up until last quarter, RIM was still growing sales as well, but their market share was plummeting and they weren't growing at the rate of the market. So the stock got punished.

Apple's market share outside of the USA hasn't been growing at the rate of the market and sales aren't growing AS FAST as they used to. The market sees these as signs that Apple isn't the darling of the consumer anymore and may have reached their peak.

While Apple is not anywhere near being in trouble, it's outrageous stock price may have peaked and unless they skip the 5s and do a 6 that really is on par with the latest and greatest, they may continue to lose market share when even companies that most people wrote off as dead like BlackBerry are coming back fighting.

Iamanonymous62 Jan 28, 2013 at 1:35 pm

From what i can see the problem isn't to do with Apple not having the "latest and greatest". If you just look at the numbers for the high end phones i.e. Samsung Galaxy S3, Galaxy Note, Nexus etc. the iphone wins. it's the lower end of the market where they don't have market share, hence the rumours of a lower priced iphone.

AtInsider Jan 28, 2013 at 1:12 am

It's funny but not for the Super Bowl. RIM needs to explain what BlackBerry 10 is in 30sec and make people go Wow, Ahh, now I got to have one of those BB10's.

SuperionMaximus Jan 28, 2013 at 10:38 am

Personally I hope there is some comedy in Super Bowl ad.

I'd like to see the BlackBerry spot to be this years Berry Pomegranate Mio "It Changes Everything" commercial. I don't even like Mio, but that spot it one of my favorite Super Bowl ads of all time.

HafeezAkmal Jan 28, 2013 at 1:41 am

Hmmmphh, where's the download link? Is it for Playbook only? lol, just kiddin'... go RIMM!

CDM76 Jan 28, 2013 at 2:17 am

LOVE it !!!
Rick MERCER is awesome, but this is icing on cake.
I bought in at 7.50 and wish I bought ten times as much ! hahaha

gjohnsto Jan 28, 2013 at 3:28 am

Love Rick Mercer... Not in the way that he and his producer love each other... But seriously, rick is great

Canadians are weird.

mapsonburt Jan 28, 2013 at 10:33 am

Yeah, but as the German's know well from two world wars... we might get knocked down but - we don't give up and will find a way to overcome when nobody else can.

123berryaddicted Jan 28, 2013 at 10:48 am

Eh +

mapsonburt Jan 28, 2013 at 10:36 am
