You’re right... If you’re not “wowed” by the product, even great advertising won’t fix it. Thanks, Jim, for your thoughts.

I own a blackberry curve (2 year contracts), and my apologies to Blackberry devotees, but I find the product to be unremarkable. When you sit down to right an ad, and nothing good comes from the effort, maybe it's time to look again at the product. In that ad, you had to look close to even see the word “Blackberry”.

I've been wondering about those Blackberry commercials for a few months now. My roommate and I were actually discussing their complete lack of substance this week. In this market, getting a laugh, or evoking a 'cool' vibe just isn't enough. Companies are falling short and grasping for straws, and it's really disappointing. Another example of the Blackberry syndrome is the most recent <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6n1vtZR16RY" rel="nofollow">Miracle Whip</a> commercials. It just seems like they're trying too hard... Right on the money! I’ve been wondering about those Blackberry commercials for a few months now.
