Heck, I even have a category here on RIMarkable and have started a seperate blog dedicated to <a href="http://celebrityblackberrysightings.com" rel="nofollow">Celebrity BlackBerry Sightings</a>, however, Naomi Campbell, Paris Hilton and celebrities in general appeall to a very small demograpic, albeit important, but small when compared to everyone that RIM wants to walk around with BlackBerry Pearls in their Pocket. A commercial that runs on MTV with Paris and Naomi trying to hit people in the head with Pearls would probably be pretty funny though... BB4Life,

I sure do hope we see that marketing campaign. Cingular seems to have a great marketing dept, and so if Cingular really gets behind the Pearl, we'll see some action on the marketing front. I so agree with you regarding that Q TV commercial blitz...it was awesome...and probably one of the most intensive ad campaigns for a mobile device yet. As for that Moto estimate on Q sales...well, I'd say that's only their estimate, and probably overinflated. I'd say the Pearl may actually outsell the Q in its first year...the Pearl is available on GSM first, and blows the Q away in terms of size, stability, and coolness factor. We still have yet to see a GSM Q hit the market, and that will be key in selling that many units. Thanks for the mention.
