New Verizon BlackBerry Storm commercial airs
If that last ad left you wanting to punch the TV screen, this one should help calm you down a little bit. It doesn’t offer much in terms of new content, and the device sequence is obviously edited to make it look smoother, but all in all, it’s a pretty decent ad. Favorite line? “What kind of Man Genius is behind this?” Damn, first AT&T, now Verizon ads… someone call Edelman. We need another publicist!
Thanks, Scott!
You sure it doesn’t say, “What kind of MAD genius is behind this?” BG? haha
this “genius” thing sure is getting around…
Are you sure this has been edited? Do you have the phone? Hmmm.
No, not sure. That’s why the last three sentences are a joke….
@CJ
Uh, yeah I’m sure. The screen doesn’t flip nearly that fast, plus you know, they say “screen images simulated.” Smart ass.
@BG
Yeah I got that, I was just poking some fun my man.
continue drinking that haterade BG… how is it “obviously edited?”
(outside of the screen images simulated of course lol)
Notice its the network, not the phone, HAHA
I WISH it moved that smoothly…
WHEN WHEN WHEN… Who cares about the press and commercials if they r not going to give us a drop date. Last i heard it was the 15th, can we get any verification on that???
I’m so happy I bought the Bold when it came out. I don’t think the storm is anywhere close to the Bold’s features although they are 2 different categories….
If I compare it to the iPhone, well…the iPhone had a good head start.
I have to give RIM credit, they are really making a good move to the market to please everyone..and I do mean everyone…
Nice job RIM…keep it up.
that is a nice rim job
to keep it up..
Wow just can’t help but to keep it negative on the Storm BG… Give it a rest. Getting old.
God, these Storm ads are fucking HORRIBLE.
I think it’s the guys voice. It has to be. I cant pinpoint what else would make me want to kill someone so badly.
Good ad. Too bad the phone doesn’t work nearly as fast as depicted in this commercial.
@amir exactly what features does the Bold have that the storm doesnt? Other than a physical keyboard of course?
^^^The Bold has 3G but the Storm does not.^^^
jay…are you kidding me? just cause ATT decided to start using the term 3g recently doesnt mean Verizon has had it the past 2 years. The Storm run on EVDO Rev A, which is almost like 3.5g
hahah you are soo wrong there buddy.
the storm is CDMA 3G which has been around waaayy longer than att 3G. sorry. you lose.
The Storm doesn’t have 3G? Lol….go someplace else buddy.
@ mr. Hi-Definition
and you have had the phone in your hands to see how fast/slow it is?? give me a break. there have been a handful of recent reviews/vids of the ui moving faster, more normal speeds. so stop acting like you know what you are talking about, it’s obvious you havent got a clue.
Verizon isn’t going to accept the software until it is running quick, so I wouldn’t be surprised if it ended up being somewhere near the level depicted in the commercial.
And ummm, Jay, Verizon’s network is basically 3G.
so now whenever ANYONE mentions the word “genius” you assume it’s a reference to you? how narcissistic.
