I didnt realise you couldnt expand the memory so i quickly auctioned the 16 and won a 32GB for £150, alot more than i first intended to spend, it's a fantastic item but has various bad points and im currently wondering if i should have went for the OndaVX610W at around half the cost, it uses android(is it substandard?) The screen on the BB is like a glass coffe table and is filthy with marks instantly, it has a totaly rubbish book reader which cant even go to specific page and there is no decent pdf reader available unless you go a very tiresome route to force it to accept android apps, which i managed to do with great difficulty, but without decent bookreader it was simply no use to me. The quality of video and images is fantastic and now ive got repligo reader installed im very pleased although i'll never get used to the mucky screen(fingermarks) i previously had a small onda player which did not get dirty screen, i dont know why something as expensive as this should suffer such. My only interest is reading my pdf,s and watching videos so im still wondering if the onda would have been better route.Read full review
Good product, works really well with my windows software on pc, much easier than the iPad. But battery life is not as good but the price reflects that. Sound quality is good and the display is clear. Used the cameras a couple of times and they are ok. Limited apps available whereas the iPad has a lot more. Connectivity is really easy and I can link it to my phone to surf the web as well as using standard wifi.
it is a very good product. With 7 inch screen it's really portable, you can put it in your pocket but the browser experience is not affected at all. The OS is clean and slim, easy to use. The strong point is the bridge functions that link the tablet with a blackberry phone via bluetooth, you can read and send message through the tablet and/or browse internet using phone data plan. Another strong point is the HD screen output that you can send to a TV using a micro hdmi cable. Really a good product, good quality and well built.
What a totally useless product. I've been a RIM user since the very first pin to pin only blackberry came out. I have owned many of the models (close to all of them) at one time or another and currently own a Torch 9800. The design and build quality of the Playbook are great, but the software (not the QNX platform but the software design) leaves a LOT to be desired. I basically use this thing to read sports news and financials while sitting on the toilet. I can't even connect my bluetooth headset to it to listen to videos or music wirelessly. Lack of native apps (there have been 2 major updates that have done nothing to make it better) and the app store is total garbage as well. Should have gone for the Galaxy Tab. Sad to see RIM slowly sinking. Why would I want to bridge it to my phone to use a calendar or memo pad? When I can just use my phone. And WORST OF ALL...the tethering Internet is WAY to slow to use. My 28.8k modem was faster!!!Read full review
First of all, I am a proud owner of an apple ipod 4g, a Archos 101 g9 and several Chinese android tablets. Having been using the above devices everyday, I have to say that BlackBerry PlayBook is a fantastic tablet. It's lightweight, quality built, with a great bright screen. It's os has a unique interface, enabling true multitasking. You can cycle between the apps with a single swipe. Performance wise, it sports a powerful dual core cpu,a great gpu and 1gig ram making apps run superbly . App wise PB was quite poor, but after os2 upgrade everything changed: Great multilingual support, native email, calendar and contacts apps, plus android apps compatibility using an embedded android runtime.
