Elephantine BlackBerry Bold promo kit arrives for Rogers

by Darren Murph posted Aug 13th 2008 at 1:08PM

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?

[Thanks, Michael]

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

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
