Don't do it. You need an iPad to add to your Hipster collection. :ilied:

Already a big discussion on the playbook thread ;)

murd0c 11-14-2011 09:52 AM

I'm thinking about heading to the Poco Walmart at lunch and picking one up tho. Will it be worth while getting the 32B instead of the 16 tho?

murd0c 11-14-2011 11:56 AM

Just got back from the Poco WM and they have a bunch of them

I picked up the 32GB but I'm not going to touch it until I get the actual sale price since I can't afford $700 for one. Man this is going to be hard not to play with lol

FerrariEnzo 11-14-2011 12:43 PM

hmm.. i knew i should have gotten into berry's... pick this up, get the BB9900

Teh Doucher 11-14-2011 03:09 PM

Had one. Its nothing special. BB bridge isn't all that its cracked up to be. 9900 bold + ipad seems like a winning combo once the 9900 finally gets the personal hotspot feature.

Yeppers, I'm not opening it either so I can return it if the price adjustment doesn't work. I even locked it up in my boss's office so I cant get to it lol

Nvasion 11-14-2011 08:14 PM

hmmm tempting.

Skyline350gt 11-14-2011 08:16 PM

btw guys such a noob question, i'm watching review videos...does the playbook have email app yet?

Sky_High 11-14-2011 08:27 PM

:pokerface:

Simplex123 11-14-2011 08:28 PM

^Sadly, not yet. But the web version works well

shenmecar 11-18-2011 04:15 PM

best buy is selling it at this price too

!MiKrofT 11-18-2011 04:52 PM

Everyone should be selling it at this price by now.

Has anyone put CM7 on a playbook yet? That is the only reason I would get one, otherwise I'd rather have a Kindle Fire as they are for the most part the same device. The Fire has fewer features, yet far better support.

i get all these computer-illiterate ppl asking me yesterday 'hey, how's the playbook? is it a good tablet?'

... if cm7 or some custom roms can enhance its usability, that's great for me. i can't imagine what this is like for the average person, who is probably used to the Apple appstore or the Android market, and not hacking it at all. i mean isn't the blackberry app world indicative of what apps are available. i just point all the ppl who ask me there.

In my experience, the 'average person' doesn't use Android phones. Out of my friends, coworkers, and colleagues (let's say a network of 100), three people use Android phones. Everyone else - it's iPhones, Blackberries, or old-school phones.

You must not have a lot of average friends. Samsung alone now outsells Apple, nevermind all the other Android variations.

At my work the number of Android phones now outnumber iPhones, and I haven't seen a Blackberry in a long time.
