Samsung Galaxy S3 and Note 2 badmouth BlackBerry in new ad
Samsung is promoting the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 with a thinly veiled pop at BlackBerry users.
The next generation of BlackBerry explodes into life this month -- and Samsung is launching a preemptive strike. Up to its old tricks, Samsung is promoting the Samsung Galaxy S3 and Galaxy Note 2 with a thinly veiled pop at BlackBerry users.
Samsung has form at bashing rivals in adverts. Ads for the Galaxy S2 and S3 took aim at Apple fans queuing up for the new iPhone 5. Although the ads never name the subject of their mockery, they make it very obvious -- and that's the case here, as Samsung lampoons BlackBerry's staid image to promote the business credentials of the Note 2 and S3.
In the new advert, a company of hip young app-buildin' gunslingers jump at the chance to switch from their boring business phones to Samsung Android smart phones. As Samsung puts it, only a besuited lame-o sticks with his keyboard-packing business-brick, while a middle-aged harridan refuses to deviate from her time-honoured two-phone system. What a pair of squares!
