The 8800 has it all. The genius of Blackberry is in its finest form, including a valuable GPS capability from the get go. Mapping/Navigation with GPS is the only way to go. Combined with the other now famous Blackberry functionality, the 8800 is a winner.

If the 8800 is anything like my new 8320 curve it should be very easy to market. My Curve is the first smart phone I’v had and I’m very impressed with the ease of use. I get alot of comments on the phone. MArket it the same as you did with the Curve 8300 series!

“Blackberry…A Proud Past…A BOLD Future”

That would be the slogan. I would have several phones from past to present above the slogan showing the advances in technology and the longevity of the brand name.

8800 Needs a ‘catch name’ like the ‘curve’. This will give you instant ‘brand model’recognition based on it’s most innovative feature(s). Instead of just calling it 8800, the WiPhone? Watch out apple!!

The 8800 should be marketted to all ages from teenagers to adults. Fun stuff but also thing that simplify your everyday life. My Space capibilities, spreadsheets, easier sync with windows vista, and video camera (to capture special momments). The average middle class individual knows what they want and will pay for something that makes then feel important. Make the price reasonable,from the start. T-Mobile has reasonable family plans and data plans so it can be a phone for the entire family to have and enjoy. Plus everyone sees T-mobile’s comercials. I own a BB Pearl and if the price was more reasonable my teenager would have one too.

By the way, it would be nice if the guy with the painted face and body sitting in the front row of the payoff game holding the blackberry was me.

Have a TV commercial of someone in the front row of a major football game such as the playoffs or the superbowl, watching their blackberry more than they are directly watching the game. The person would absolutely be identified as a sports fan with a painted shirtless body, a painted face, a huge foam hand with the index finger pointed up (for number 1), and a blackberry in the other hand for statistics, other game information and replays.

How would I market the 8800?
If it really is the greatest, who better to start marketing it to than a techie – MIT, Caltech, WPI, RPI, …etc. Turn it into a tech status symbol and the rest of the world will follow.
