Tracy,

I would have thought that if everyone including the members of U2 were all on BlackBerry devices, the U2 mobile album would be the ultimate in being united…that’s the impression I had from the commercial…but it doesn’t seem to be that way.

I know it's going to be a great show. Having said that, I am really saddened by how little bang this tour has created for BlackBerry. I sent U2's management and BlackBerry a concept that I thought would have been great for both. In short, since BlackBerry is the sponsor, I thought it would have been great for the band members and crew to use BlackBerries to take photos, videos, send tweets (set lists, thoughts, etc. at each stage of the tour: during performances, press conferences, radio interviews, etc. The photos would have been uploaded to Flickr, video to Youtube, etc daily. It would have been as if you we could have all been a fly on the wall during the tour. What better way to display the multimedia capabilities of the BlackBerry. They decided to do nothing instead. I really think it could have been huge for BlackBerry in social media, because people could have shared the content they wanted to with friends, spreading it all virally, and giving it a life long after the tour.

Outside Soldier Field there were a couple of black-suit-white-hat Blackberry folks at a couple of tables, making no effort to do ANYTHING at all. And once inside I saw a couple of "Blackberry Loves U2" banners, and that's it. Money well spent, RIM...
