BlackBerry PlayBook users?

BigBruiserAl · 10 Nov 2011 at 16:15

Used the search didt come up with much.

I can get:

BlackBerry PlayBook Rapid Charging Stand
BlackBerry PlayBook - Tablet - 16 GB - 7" TFT
BLACKBERRY PLAYBOOK SCREEN PROTECTOR / GUARD

All brand new a legit for £89 with work.
Both me and the wife have BB as handsets and want a tablet that we can sit on the sofa and browse maybe a few games for the kids.

Do you think its worth it, dont really want to ipad route purely for the money looking at the other tablets they seem to have better support and apps but for £89 is a no brainer?

thoughts please from any PB users?

Haa ha, £89 and is it worth it! I paid £250 for my 16GB and I'm very pleased with it, so yeah its deffo a winner, can I have another one please for my wife!

And thats £250 just for the playbook, other items are extra

J86 · 10 Nov 2011 at 16:22

im tempted to get one now for £250! but something is stopping me... yes £89 is a bargain!!!

Its great having the extra space, as I initially thought the same, but now I have it, I'm using it for music (it has great dual stereo speakers and a headphone jack) and if the kiddies download stuff and then theres the decent cameras etc etc... then native email and the android market are all coming soon in the 2.0 OS update, great price for the 32GB

Thanks people just needed a little push, was worried about RIM just giving up on PB and starting fresh on the PB2.

thanks again

I got it for free

(passed down from my brother) and I still don't use it, however when I was testing it out the browser is very good indeed and the upcoming BBX upgrade sounds promising.

I've just bought a 64gb Playbook after trying a Xoom, I found Android 3.0 to be alright especially as any app you wantis available really but I found the browser very buggy.
The Playbook browser is excellent and its smaller size is really nice too, go for it at that price!!!

And with BB Bridge, you can link your BB to the PB to basically tether when WIFI isn't available, but any data comes out of your mobile data and not charged extra

Thats inevitable but they wont be giving up on the pb just yet...theres nothing about a pb2 so your ok for the time being.

Have had mine since May, got one shipped over from Canada by my bro and absolutely love it...in fact majority of my posts in here are done thru my playbook.

So tempted to get one of these to compliment my 9900. Cheapest I seen is £223. What do you guys think about this 'black friday' sale. You reckon they will go under 200?

Decisions decisions.

I picked one up over the weekend, pretty cool, put OS 2.0 on it.

Web browser is the fastest compared to my Touchpad and iPad. The size is nice too.

roysters · 28 Nov 2011 at 12:37

how much did you pay for yours?

.:SAmSuNG:. · 28 Nov 2011 at 12:55

I thought currys had £100 cashback via quidco and meaning there £150.
