This is likely to become the talk of the day among the great Blackberry fanboyhood. RIM decided to make and air their own advertising on TV and Omie07 has been quick to post it at YouTube.
Every once in a while someone complains that RIM should advertise more and make the Blackberry more visible and widely-known. [...]
