BlackBerry PlayBook

I love this tablet. It is fast, the camera and pictures are good (better than my friends iPad) and I can multi-task on it and it doesn't slow down like the other tablets do. I email, FB and use it for taking videos and watching t.v. on it all the time and with the plethora of new apps out for it, it keeps up with the competition. What I really love is that the BB keyboard has a mouse pad whereas none of the other tablets that I know can use a mouse. It turns my tablet into a mini-laptop. I guess it may be because it is meant to be used for business as well as pleasure where many other tablets are mainly just for fun apps use. I bought one for my brother and like myself he takes it everywhere and almost has stopped using his desktop too. The on/off button needs some work but either than that no complaints at all. I did hear that they are going to be bringing out a new Playbook with the 10 system put into it but I don't know for sure.

If you are thinking of getting a BB playbook well don't you can not Bluetooth to it you can not down load items of the internet and when you go on the BB apps you have to pay for the vast amount of them and they are not cheap so keep away from it, the only thing that is good about it is the hard ware that is good but the soft ware not so good.KEEP A WAY

I have used a Blackberry 16GB Playbook for a few months now. The usb port fell out one day and I have had problems with the on/off switch, although this has been inconsistent, but nevertheless very frustrating. I sent the playbook to RIM. They want $99 to fix the usb port! I can buy a new playbook for less than that and one with twice as much storage for $149. The service was terrible with basically no communication. They had the playbook for nearly a month. It has finally been returned without any repair and no explanation at all regarding the on/off switch. This playbook is still on warranty, but please be aware that the warranty is of very little use. I would personally NEVER purchase another Blackberry device of any sort. They know that the usb ports are very problematic, and also the on/off switches. I am so not impressed. They also made sure that my Blackberry was fully discharged when they returned it to me. I will use it with a rapid charger until it is non functional and then will purchasse another make of tablet.

I just got this tablet as a Christmas gift.It's a nice size,looks good.It's quiet heavy though.Easy set-up.If you have a blackberry smartphone you can connect and use BBM which is brilliant,I use it lots.Internet browsing is very fast and good quality,videos play quickly without any hassle.Blackberry app world is nice.It's lacking many apps that the Android/iTunes market already has.Also,Angry Birds is £4.50 where as on Android it's free.You have to pay for all the good apps,the free ones aren't very good.But hopefully this will improve and they will update their site!There are tutorial videos at the start to help you along,although I was a while trying to figure out how to exit applications,with no exit button.You have to scroll down the screen.Anyway,the tablet came with a polishing cloth and a little case,along with the usual wires which was nice.Camera/Video is brilliant I must say,it's 3 megapixels.Even better than my phone!Bluetooth is a handy feature.Overall I really like this tablet,it looks really nice,good apps,easy to use once you get the basics.I would give it 7/10 :) x
