Celebrities spread BlackBerry LOVE

With the continuous advancements of today’s smartphone technologies, connecting with someone to show how much you care has never been easier. Leading the way in bringing people closer together is Research In Motion (RIM), makers of the popular BlackBerry smartphone. With its star-studded program IN THE NAME OF LOVE: The BlackBerry Show held last February 6, 2011, 4 p.m., at the Trinoma Mall Activity Center, Quezon City, BlackBerry concretely demonstrated how it touches lives and strengthens the bonds of love among its users.

Hosted by the Queen of Talk, Ms. Kris Aquino, IN THE NAME OF LOVE: The BlackBerry Show gathered some of local entertainment's brightest stars to talk about how their BlackBerry smartphones help them navigate their way through their adventures and misadventures in love. Avid BlackBerry users Dennis Trillo and Jennylyn Mercado, Carla Abellana and Geoff Eigenmann, Kris Bernal and Aljur Abrenica, Tweenhearts’ Joshua Dionisio, Barbie Forteza, Jhake Vargas, and Bea Binene, Jon Avila, Sunshine Cruz-Montano, and Gab Valenciano shared how their favorite messaging and social media applications on BlackBerry enable them to reach out and experience love, despite the challenges of being in the limelight. The audience also had the opportunity to touch and try the popular smartphone, with demo booths featuring the latest BlackBerry smartphones available in the Philippines—the BlackBerry® Curve™ 3G, designed to provide a distinctly powerful, approachable and affordable choice; the BlackBerry® Bold™ 9780, featuring a premium and iconic design with an incredibly easy-to-use keyboard and optical trackpad, and the BlackBerry® Torch™ 9800, the world’s first smartphone to combine a BlackBerry® keyboard with a full touch screen. Seven audience members had the luck of becoming BlackBerry owners themselves, with a raffle that started as early as 1 p.m. IN THE NAME OF LOVE: The BlackBerry Show ignited Valentine’s month as it showed the unique possibilities of BlackBerry smartphones for enhancing our relationships with those we care about.
