Pretty clever commercial

Bold and yet fun. Properly targets the market RIM is going for with this model. AT&T is doing the heavy lifting here and it seems seriously committed.

So is RIM still then aiming this at the Business market? Is the Torch just a way of keeping their business users happy in the face of increased competition in the business sector from Apple/Google?

No doubt about it!

 
 
Posted by Jake Storm Friday, Aug 13, 2010 548 days ago

Yep, how many business users have two phones, or a phone and an ipod.
The torch blends both and allows business users to carry just one device.

lol. that's awesome.

I think it's aim is both business and consumer. This particular commercial is more business driven but I think the concept as a whole works both ways.

Fun? blackberry?... Nah!

 
 
Posted by Jake Storm Friday, Aug 13, 2010 548 days ago

Fun? Yah, you better believe it.

I especially like the large toy jet out on the tarmack.

I have had a 9800 Torch for a few weeks, and I had come to the same conclusion ... it's an ideal mix of being a solid business phone, including it's great REAL keyboard!, and it does a nice job of video and music too. The trackpad, as an alternative to touching the screen, is a great differentiator over the iPhone. Business people will love the Torch, and it's not a bad entertainment device too.

So the ad gets the right message across.

They left out the fun when they left out a processor with Open GL support! Nice commercial, just not that truthful.

 
 
Posted by simplayer Friday, Aug 13, 2010 548 days ago

So fun is a subset of OpenGL?

 
 
Posted by papped Friday, Aug 13, 2010 548 days ago

Lol this makes no sense..

 
 
Posted by Jake Storm Friday, Aug 13, 2010 548 days ago

Gotta save something for Torch 2

 
 
Posted by gbsn Saturday, Aug 14, 2010 547 days ago

hopping through the blackberry menus with your finger is fun menzzz wat'ya talkin' bout? touch touch

hahaha failure in motion

Very good commercial from AT&T. I'm liking it a lot.

Bell & Rogers are waiting for numbers (i.e., availability) from RIM.

 
 
Posted by danclyons Friday, Aug 13, 2010 548 days ago

the song reminds me of Big Fish. I like the commercial very clever.

 
 
Posted by millyblick Friday, Aug 13, 2010 548 days ago

cool commercial i'm not tripping. The only thing, is its short... but a commercial suppose to be... lol

 
 
Posted by laollis Friday, Aug 13, 2010 548 days ago

I have to agree. This phone IS fun! Been playing with it since 10am yesterday. Charged the battery when I got it, and it's still at 40% right now. YAY!

 
 
Posted by miloszz Friday, Aug 13, 2010 548 days ago

I like it! :D

 
 
Posted by Propa Friday, Aug 13, 2010 548 days ago

lol ok i like this one...

 
 
Posted by experiment626 Friday, Aug 13, 2010 548 days ago

A nice "bookend" commercial to the "Pure Imagination" ads AT&T ran a few months ago.Still think the 9780 will be the better device though.

 
 
Posted by Pootermobile Friday, Aug 13, 2010 548 days ago

This commercial is really cool I like it a lot! Way better than any other BlackBerry commercial I've seen before :)

 
 
Posted by kb2755 Friday, Aug 13, 2010 548 days ago

That's because its an AT&T commercial, not a RIM commercial ;)

 
 
Posted by Q-fugee Friday, Aug 13, 2010 548 days ago

The latest "Love What You Do" ad makes two very good points:

1) If you have a gay-porn-star moustache, you can buy cool stuff for your trendy store. Take that, iPhone.
2) If you are a creepy stalker-girlfriend, BBM gives you verifiable read receipts that Mr. Right got your message and is in fact blowing you off while getting a restraining order right now.

Of course, what the ad doesn't say is that the same BBM system gives Mr. Right evidence that will hold up in a court of law. And just off-camera, Mr. Moustache's life partner has an iPhone in a sequin case on his belt.

I love that commerical. I think the Business meets Fun motto will really help with the marketing of this phone.

 
 
Posted by rookie83 Friday, Aug 13, 2010 548 days ago

Roller coasters, Bumper cars, Roller Skating and Free Falls I can hear the girls screaming now!!!! Great idea for a commercial. The torch looks good so far I hope the storm 3/4 puts iphone and driod back a few notches keep it comming RIM!!!!!

 
 
Posted by SCrid2000 Friday, Aug 13, 2010 548 days ago

Great slogan for the Torch: "Business in the front, Party in the back"!

 
 
Posted by rcm1301 Friday, Aug 13, 2010 548 days ago

Very nice

 
 
Posted by bigmac05 Friday, Aug 13, 2010 548 days ago

I want to ride those elevators! I wish my work office building had those. 21 floors of fun!

 
 
Posted by Versed Friday, Aug 13, 2010 548 days ago

This is a good they shown there product and didn't attack another product or carrier. And yes, like the song but don't think it was Buddy Holly.

 
 
Posted by PsychoGeek Friday, Aug 13, 2010 548 days ago

I love this. Straight to the point :)

 
 
Posted by HTC_Droid_EvO Friday, Aug 13, 2010 547 days ago

I like the colorful, and toy like word...very well done.

But its lacking the fun, with the low res screen, laggy OS, and they did not re: think, invent, or establish the smart phone with this model at all.

 
 
Posted by markyoung04 Friday, Aug 13, 2010 547 days ago

Shows off enough to tease and gets the message across that it it is fun to use! keep it up RIM

 
 
Posted by iamajim Friday, Aug 13, 2010 547 days ago

this was coming to Vz!!!! Most of the rumors say no no no, so I'm not sure what my next phone will be.

 
 
Posted by phinx404 Saturday, Aug 14, 2010 547 days ago

loved this ad! really well done. think the elevator one would have killed me...prob would have taken the stairs!

 
 
Posted by MadCow270970 Saturday, Aug 14, 2010 547 days ago

what a 'feel good' ad, RIM could have improved the processor power on the torch but overall, it looks like the best blackberry to date...I am really thinking about moving to Android....

 
 
Posted by Ki-Adi-Mundi Saturday, Aug 14, 2010 547 days ago

I second that.

 
 
Posted by cdf3 Saturday, Aug 14, 2010 547 days ago

Great commercial.

 
 
Posted by NoKittyNo Saturday, Aug 14, 2010 547 days ago

I've been following the Rogers Redboard like mad, and almost every site imaginable(asked dozens of Rogers, Future Shop & Best Buy clerks) but no set or estimated date. Anyone care to take a stab on a release date for the Torch on Rogers?

This Prepaid Samsung Corby Plus is holding me over, but I want the real deal..Lol.

CPU 624 wow r u F&%$ing kidding me, Everthing thing else is at 1 gig, The hardware on this device is at best in the mid level range, Compared to what is out in the market today.
