Globe brings the BlackBerry lifestyle to Filipino consumers with the launch of the new BlackBerry Storm powered by Globe‘s Personal BlackBerry Plans. The BlackBerry Storm features the world’s first “clickable” touch-screen, allowing its users to experience a tactile touch and click response that is unique to this exciting device.
The BlackBerry Storm is the first touch-screen BlackBerry and the same great BlackBerry that its users all know and love. It is the handy Internet access tool and social tool that one can carry around.
US President Barack Obama is just one of the famous BlackBerry users. Foreign celebrities Kate Hudson, Madonna, Victoria Beckham, Lindsay Lohan, Hilary Duff, Ashley Tisdale and Adriana Lima are all on BlackBerry. The new BlackBerry Storm was even spotted in an episode from the latest season of Gossip Girl.
Filipino consumers are fast becoming avid users of BlackBerry, too. Honee So, national sales manager at Perfetti Van Melle, said, “I love that my BlackBerry gives me unlimited access to my friends and loved ones here or abroad through YM, Facebook, and real-time email. Plus, the ever-efficient BlackBerry Messenger is the techie equivalent of passing notes during meetings!”
Jannie Villacorta, brand manager for Armani, Ralph Lauren, Diesel and Cacharel fragrances, also said, “I’ve always been a BlackBerry user. I love the ease of use my BlackBerry gives me. It’s a digital assistant, phone and camera in one. I also love the fact that I can IM my friends abroad for free without having to worry about IDD costs and surcharges!”
Vicky Encarnacion, channel head at Watsons, added, “I like my BlackBerry because it can link to my calendar and I see it updated from my emails. I can’t do this with other phones.”
The new BlackBerry Storm brings cutting-edge mobile capabilities to Filipino consumers and you can get it first from Globe. At the same time, BlackBerry Storm users can enjoy a stunning view with its 3.25-inch hi-res 65,000 color LCD screen so one can browse the Web as it was meant to be seen.
Stay up-to-date with family, friends and other business or personal contacts in style through instant messaging (IM) that one can take anywhere. The BlackBerry Storm allows users access to BlackBerry Messenger, Windows Live Messenger, Yahoo Messenger and Google Talk. With these popular IM applications, users can carry on real-time IM with friends in several locations, with no per-message charge. IM apps also allow group chats, so making plans with a group of friends for Friday night becomes a breeze.
With BlackBerry’s famous push e-mail capability, get all your important emails wherever you go, all the time. Want to get even more connected?
