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?

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

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

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.
