I have to say, that I could not agree with you in 100% regarding What a strong advertising budget can do, but it’s just my opinion, which could be wrong

Mark: you got to understand that there is no one reason for a product or service to fall out, there are allways many factors and each factor corresponds to a weighting ratio..

Rejoys: time will tell about how successful the blackberry is, ie: palm lost the market and now is out..

The “price tag next to the product comment” was a sarcastic one, the creative is not up to the standard of blackberry nor to the company that is introducing the blackberry ( MTC). for example you can check out this NOKIA phone ad.

they position the phone as an MP3 phone, and deliver the message precisely. im not a big fan of nokia, but its a big company that has a big share of the market.

Here is another one for Sony Ericsson- http://www.freespaces.com/cinfikrim/sony2.jpg

SARCASTIC : ” GGEEEEE black berry ” I KNOW !! WOW !! LETS DO SOMETHING BLACK !! THATS ORIGINAL !!

Blackberry ads in kuwait truly sucked ! BLACK IS IN ?! for a week or so and then ends up with what ?! a shinny picture of the black berry ?! and thats for one of the biggest companies in Kuwait ?? for one whole week with that black is in reminded me of a funereal with a forced tag line. and after everyone was expecting a very hard-hitting launch, we just get the picture of the product ? why didn’t the designer put a price tag next to it, that might sell faster .. ops ! sorry the blackberry is for corporate use, so we cant put a price tag on

game gear was beaten by Game Boy
and CD-I & 3DO died long before PS1

also if you read any video game magazine you would see that geam gear was more advertised than game boy advance

same goes for 3DO

And for those still want to use this technology then there is good news for them
get an account in http://live.mail2web.com/ and forward your existing emails to the mail2web address. then you can use even your gmail account as push mail for blackberries.
do not for get to edit the “reply to” address settings in the blackberries or your existing ids will not be visible to the recepients

A blackberry is used mainly for push e-mails and employees of the companies which has microsoft exchange server based email system only can use them. 99% of companies use the traditional pull email setup. Push email you will get the mail at the same time it reaches the server, prettymuch like an SMS (i.e without any action from the user)
Where as pull email you might need to refresh the inbox or press the send/receive button to get synched between the mobile and the server.
Now the question is Do you really need to see all the mails (including spam -if you are not protected well) reaching your server inbox at the same time. Won’t it be reasonable to check the inbox from time to time if you are expecting any urgent emails or updates.
I am sure most of the guys buying the blackberry because of the advertising frenzy and 90% of them wont be using what blackberry is really used for.

A question regarding the black berry; is it true that in kuwait, it can only be sold to companies, and individuals can not buy it?
