I read this story in the Bangkok Post that was titled “Thai market crazy for Blackberry”. I think it should really be Bangkok crazy for Blackberry, because up-country I have never seen one but in Bangkok all the girls and boys just gotta have a new Blackberry.
[cjniche keywords=”blackberry storm” listing=”1″]
The head of RIM Southeast Asia says its because of how involved Thais are with social media, how well localized the Blackberry is for Thailand, and how much Thais like to copy celebrities. I think the last one is the biggest one. We gotta have what the stars have, although I must say I don’t (yet) have a smart phone. But if I was still living in Bangkok where there are services that I could actually use with a smart phone I would probably try to save up to get a Backberry Storm.
One complaint I have – why is it that when I do an image search for “Blackberry hot girls” I get nothing but chubby farang girls? Where are all the photos of the hot Thai celebrities with their Blackberry smart phones?
Shouldn’t they have girls like these two below dancing around talking or texting on their Blackberry phones?

I agree. The two girls at the bottom make me care about blackberrys a lot more!

“…when I do an image search for “Blackberry hot girls” I get nothing but chubby farang girls…”
That was an, er, aesthetically unsatisfying image, and you should not have been subjected to it. The two girls in your image are much cuter. So much cuter, in fact, that I don’t know if any males would notice a Blackberry, had they had them. Perhaps too cute for advertising?
On behalf of foreigners everywhere, my apologies.
A bit early, but Happy New Year.

Here’s one for you. Granted it’s Tila Tequila, but she’s not bad to look at when her mouth is shut. http://celebrityblackberrysightings.com/tila-tequila-takes-a-sexy-self-portrait-with-her-blackberry/

Now those two girls should sell a lot of Blackberrys.

That’s a great site, Celebrity Blackberry Sightings. But I must say that Tila Tequila is one of my least favorite “import models” or whatever she considers herself. She’s taken all the fake and trashy stuff too far.

Well, Tila IS a porn star, not just a model, so if you consider hardcore porn on screen on trashy, you’re right!
Oh, and you should search in Thai language for the hot blackberry girls from Thailand, right?
