Good videos, but like you said, what are they going to be used for? Not tv commercials due to length of course. But, good real world stuff non the less.
Boldly sent from my 9930

I need to go visit these places now!

Nice job of showing the old Facebook for blackberry in the first video...

They might want to do some US cities to help their US sales.

It bothers me when people who are already outside, feel that they need to check the weather...

These could be great nightly infomercials....or TV info kiosks in carrier stores (consumer presses button and video plays showing phone in action)

or BlackBerry info kiosks in malls

I watched only the phillipnes one, that was very dumb so I didn't bother to waste my time on others
Seriously ?

Was not aware that places that showed up in Wikitude could be instantly looked up in wikipedia... so the videos served for that at least...

Agree not good at all as commercials... maybe a possibility for sales stores, as suggested above...

The Bold 9700 is better than the new one! I wonder how many batteries these guys go through in a day of hard core use? Thanks RIM, but I'll stick with my Bold 9700 until you people get your act together. One more thing bring back auto focus on the camera function.

Good thing they are focusing on productive projects. What a joke.

Ummm, the word pointless comes to mind. And for that matter why now? The Bold has been out for months and this should have been done before the device was released to help make people aware of it. I guess better late than never though.

Very nice tour helpful letting people know about how to do things with wiki augmented reality browser great for tourism!

As a Filipino BlackBerry user, it was cool to see the video of Carlos Celdran in the Philippines. Props.

These all look to be results of a "How do you use your BB w/OS7 in your life?" campaign. In that case, well done. I think we all know there are plenty of people that have a smartphone and have no idea how to do anything but play games and chat on them. Hopefully, these will open peoples eyes to more possibilities. We have the SuperBowl in Indy this weekend. I can see how using your BB around town would help find your way around so much easier.

i agree that videos like this should have been put out before the device dropped....i liked the ones i watched none the less

ok you got a new ceo... time for a new marketing team

Guys, the United States is not the center of the Universe, even though we think that way.
i like the ads, especially the one done in the Philippines.. where i learned about that augmented reality app.
i strongly believe that RIM is playing for the base at the moment, and that is overseas or anywhere that's not North America.

What they could do is take the one highlight or 2 from all the videos and mash them all up together to create a commercial of world connectedness or something like that.

these are great. simple, educative, but still appealing for any marketing purposes. of course, broadcasting them through TV will cost lotsa money BUT look.. how many people are now on the web? go web advertising, go RIM!!! HIT IT!

Would have loved some Wikitude when I was in Indonesia. There were a few sites which I stumbled upon which I wanted to learn more about. These are all beautiful places, I want to visit them all.
