infact the machine is ok. but the absence of SIM slot has become a problem because in my country like Ghana in Africa, is not everywhere u can have the wireless network for internet services unless u get a router which is expensive.for quality issue is 100%. so consider. thank you.

                  So I bought my Playbook 32gb last week at Staples. Being Canadian I want to see RIM get back on track. Took it home and after 2 days of attempting to get past the setup screen I returned the product to Staples. The guy there confirmed it was a dud and replaced it. I took the second one home and this time I was prompted to update the software. I was able to download the update but it would not install. I made 10 further attemps over the next day and no luck. I returned the second playbook for a complete refund. I went to another store and bought a 7 inch Samsung tablet. Setup time was about 5 minutes and it works great. The Samsung boots up in about 30 seconds as opposed the the 5 minute boot time of the Playbook. I rest my case but if RIM survives it will never get any business from me..EVER.

                            I received my 64GB Playbook last Friday and have been using it nonstop since then. I mostly use it for music and reading PDFs. I already have a phone that has my contacts but once I p/u a BB phone to replace the android that I just don't like, I will use the BB bridge between the PB and the BB.

                            I love the native Flash and my hub noticed how the movies do not interrupt and buffer unlike other tablets. I appreciate the processor speed since I also use Word and Excel (also included in this beauty), read a lot of books online and might also have two other programs working. No delays. Awesome.

                            The fact that you can Bluetooth files to it is awesome! The transfer of files is flawless, as if I plugged in a flash drive and just drag and drop.

                            The size is perfect to use my hands to swipe and type. I wouldn't want the larger 10"; in fact I'd bought a Viewsonic 10" and used it for a few months and it was too big, too much like a laptop so I got rid of it.

                            The quality and feel of the Playbook is top notch. It isn't too light to appear cheap or too heavy to be clunky.

                            I don't use many apps (no, not even Skype) so I don't care of Playbook has them. Plus I heard they have opened up to allowing Android apps on BB.

                            All in all this tablet gives me exactly what I wanted and I am 100% happy.

                                  Good quality, but lack of critical apps that I have been using on android make it useless to me. Have had for over 1 yr. Will now put it in closet and get a samsung or nexus. Now understand why their businee model is falling apart.

                                        with due respects to the legendary BB phones;

                                        though look wise the play book swatisfies everybody- miserably fails in all the aspects in comparision to android powered devcices;

                                        you can not install any of the essential apps w r t business ( android suppors )

                                        neither the app store has business apps not it satisfies the so called fancy apps


                                        with a heavy heart im migrating from BB to android after using BB devices for the past 9 years.

                                        it is suggested to BB to have a tie up with Google to be in busineess or do something else.

                                        this is the order of the day
