the good thing about the BB Playbook is its solid built and feels comfortable to hold and not slippery. the stereo speakers has a nice sound. the bad thing about it is it has only limited free apps and games to download for free unlike the app store(apple-ios) and google play store (android) which offers tons of free apps ang games download. this is the reason why only few people decide to buy this tablet. I personally like this tablet but I might sell it soon because of the limited free downloadable. most of the free are rubbish and totally worthless. I admire this tablet's multi-tasking feature. I just hope that Blackberry store gets more free games and apps and gets the BB10 software update because honestly the blackberry world (store) of this tablet totally sucks, lame and boring.

zoe, s.a , 25 Feb 2013I'm so interested in buying this play book but seems like d... moreNot that experienced with blackberry. All your answers can be answered if you Google. PlayBook has a pin but there is no messenger facility I can see.
if you connect a bb phone through bridge to PlayBook you can BBM, email and see phone contacts on PlayBook.
If you want to whatsapp you will have to enter a phone number manually into whatsapp. If the number is already subscribed then you will have to pay for whatsapp for 2 devices to use one whatsapp number. That's what I've experienced.
Whatsapp is not officially available on PlayBook so you might have to convert the Android application. I've not tested it.
There are twitter apps but I don't tweet so I don't know how good they are.
There is a fb application but it has a bug. It doesn't show profile pics in the feeds
The browser is capable so you can webchat using that. If you want to know the apps available for webchat then Go to blackberry world website and choose device type to view apps

Good tablet but without apps you will soon get bored. If anyone wants to buy it, first make sure the apps you frequently use are on there.
The tablet just works but if you are accustomed to android then you will find a lot of options and settings missing

I bought 2 playbook here in the UAE. I am planning to bring one to the Philippines as a gift. Just recently one of them refused to turn on and charge. I tried all sorts of methods described in the net but none of them worked. So I brought it back to where I purchased it. They in turn delivered it to the repair center. The center replaced my unit stating that it had a faulty engine. Is this a common occurrence with the playbook? Is there reason to think that my other playbook would have the same problem? Now I am afraid to bring them to the philippines because they are not covered by international warranty.

no you do not need a bb handset,internet tethering can also help you to connect to internet,the only thing that you need is a phone which has a bluetooth option in it

Been using my PB for about 2 months and like it but it is not perfect...
Today I got notice of update 2.1.0.1526, anybody knows what this is about?
By the why, today I got my BB leather journal case for it and I am a bit disappointed to say the least. Leather? In which universe?

Hi all,
I just started to use BB and Playbook for a week ...
Inside the "Playbook - Blackberry Bridge Message", I can read message, I can download attachments, but then when it state " Tag to open", no matter how I tag where I tag, it just did not open.
But I can open all in Blackberry, of course.
My Playbook version is 2.1 and it comes with Doc-to-go.
Any suggestions are deeply appreciated.
