Motorola CLIQ with MOTOBLUR Ad Pops Up

Posted on Tuesday, Nov 3, 2009 by Casey Chan

Since Verizon is ramping up their own advertising costs with the Motorola DROID, it looks like Motorola has some room in their budget to market the CLIQ and MOTOBLUR (they did make a little money last quarter, after all). In this ad spot, Motorola shows how crazy your social life can get and how the Motorola CLIQ with MOTOBLUR can help out and keep you focused on what you choose to focus on.

It's an interesting ad spot--Neil Patrick Harris and 49ers Head Coach Mike Singletary even pop up for cameos--but we're going to bet that many folks might be left confused with Motorola's choice in branding. We all know that MOTOBLUR is the UI that powers the phone, the Motorola CLIQ, but we're almost certain many folks will watch the spot and think that BLUR is the phone they want and have no idea that the CLIQ exists.

How do you guys like the ad? Could it be confusing for users not familiar with Android?

The ad is great and so is the phone. What's not great is t-mobile trying to rip me off to upgrade for $369.99. iPhone 3GS here I come!

 

So the phone is aimed a geeks who know lots of really annoying people but desperately want to have sex (possibly for the first time)?
