A new Blackberry ad takes a literal shot at an Apple while introducing the first touch screen Blackberry device.

"The world's first touch-screen Blackberry. Nothing can touch it"

The ad is not officially from RIM. It's a "spec" spot meant to drum up business for an ad agency or production house. This ad was made by "GUAVA," out of New York City.

Haha it's kinda funny how they used Soundtrack Pro (Apple product) sound effects in this ad.

This is worst than MS Bill Gates ad!! I wonder why these guys seem to be afraid to show their products in their ads anymore!!

Thats a really good ad

horrible add, this just shows that they would rather spend $$$ slamming the competition than actually showing their product.

i would have to disagree w/ you, you mentioned the competition but i dont think that blackberry is competition to the iphone..... my brother recently got it and let me tell you that it aint any better than all these LG and samsung knockoffs.

i would definitely agree w/ you, i have seen one and touched it, and it's no wonder why the iPhone continues to reign supreme. Everytime they try to catch up (even halfway) the iPhone blasts them back out of the water.
