Elephantine BlackBerry Bold promo kit arrives for Rogers
We understand the need to catch eyes these days, and while Rogers will certainly not be the first nor last to promote a new piece of kit with an obscenely large version of said kit, this one just takes brobdingnagian marketing to a new plateau. The absolutely gigantic Rogers Bold launch kit includes a plethora of Bold flyers, informational pamphlets and all sorts of other goodies that'll be handed out to prospective buyers shortly. The real question is: who gets to take this thing home once the buzz dies down?

Man, that's almost as big as that WM smartfone that Hitachi released a few years back. H1000? That full featured monster had to have little wheels on the bottom and a retractable handle in case you needed to carry it thru airports. :-D

RIM has been doing that lately. We sell T-Mob at our store and we received the same type of thing for the Pearl and the Curve when they were launched. RIM never comes up short on collateral for their products, that's for sure.

What's better than a huge Bold?
Actually releasing the damn thing.
Seriously, it's like The Phone Rim Forgot, what with them falling head over heels to hit the mid-October 9500 Thunder deadline.

Who is going to want to carry around a phone that big? RIM is going to lose a lot of money on this

Your Myspace picture has you taking a pic of your ugly ass with a cell phone thats NOT an iPhone. Youre 17 so of course your parents said NO to you getting an iPhone. Hahahahaha
snowenloe @ Aug 13th 2008 4:54PM
And come to think of it the phone you're holding in that awful pic is an LG Env, which is on the Verizon network. You dont own an iPhone, your parents arent even on the network that the iPhone runs on and you go out of your way to bash everything that isnt AT&T and Apple??
You iPhony
Lol, FAIL

Snowenloe, I just want to thank you for flying off the handle and giving me a good laugh as a result.
Good show, sir.
SuperSexyErik (^_^) @ Aug 14th 2008 12:51AM
yes it is quite funny when he gets into his meaningless rants :D
we just need to call animal control and sit back until they contain him and give him his crazy pills! :)

You guys have to give him a break! He lives in Visalia, what do you expect?

brobdingnagian has a capital B. Good reference though. Also, I would definitely rock the giant Bold. That and a HUGE piece of bling around my neck.

I'd consider getting a Bold if BB supported true IMAP with Gmail. No read/unread sync really kills the deal.
