Lol at all the crybabies whining when someone else got a better deal than you.
By your logic, all profit-making is illegal and immoral.

LOL do these people not know that the 32gb is $299 plus tax? I've been busy all day up until now so unless things have changed, the 32gb is still available in stock.

Bonka 11-19-2011 10:30 PM

As far as I know, 32GBs are gone practically everywhere now too once the 16GBs were all gone first. Most places seem to have the 64GB units though.

Anyone have quality control issues with theirs (stuck/dead pixels, not charging, etc)?

nabs 11-19-2011 10:30 PM

i got my blackberry messenger working through bridge now. If anyone can't get it working update your blackberry messenger on your phone to the latest version and accept the agreement, and update the playbook to the latest version as well and it should start working.

RRxtar 11-19-2011 11:13 PM

all of you who cant find any, order online from staples. i had no problem last night ordering online, and the kelowna location had a bunch instore. so i actually have 2 haha. but i will cancel the online order.

murd0c 11-19-2011 11:17 PM

Anyone have any with a dead pixel? Mine does at the top and it kinda drives me crazy. Think I have to exchange it now dammit

Nabatron 11-19-2011 11:39 PM

shiiieet that sucks bra i gotta go buy mine tomorrow but gotta find a place in Langley

Bonka 11-20-2011 12:10 AM

First one I bought had a black dot underneath the screen, not a dead pixel. Second one has a few stuck pixels, doesn't charge past 26%, loose charging port, wifi cycles. Ugh. This is the 32GB. I always seem to have problems when buying something with a screen. Either that or horrible QC by RIM.

Some Chapters still seem to have some 16GB units left, based on their inventory check.

terkan 11-20-2011 01:28 AM

i have no problem except for 1 dust under the screen.. meh i guess i'll live with it.. since it's not likely i'll be able to get an exchange.. anyone know if this is discontinued? or RIM is still gonna be making them?

nabs 11-20-2011 02:29 AM

no problems what so ever, loving everything about it, learning how to use it more and more daily and optimising it to my liking...

Nobex Radio is my new favorite app. one more thing i love the size of it. i use it mostly vertically because then i can type on the keypad exactly how i did on my iphone. fits perfectly in my hand without straining it like the iphone keypad did.

Nabatron 11-20-2011 09:29 AM

tried calling everywhere that carried it in Langley today but all of them are all out of stock...couldnt get through to staples or best buy and still have to call the source!

Vansterdam 11-20-2011 09:37 AM

there goes my chances of getting a 16gb playbook lol

victoria dr london drugs has 1 64gb left

Nabatron 11-20-2011 09:43 AM

yeah bra i was pretty choked I called vision and they have nothing in stock no play books at all...then i checked craigslist and there all on there for like 60-90 bucks more!

The US is following suit

Best Buy USA follows suit, drops BlackBerry PlayBook pricing | CrackBerry.com

For those of you who purchased one already, anyone notice if their playbook doesn't lie flat? Mine has a bulge around the logo and slides/pivots on it when I type. When doing the swipe gestures, it literally rotates my playbook. Very frustrating, however I was able to get an authorization for an RMA for this issue and RIM is sending over a new 16 GB to me! :thumbs:

It will be shipped to me within 2 business days and I have 10 days to send back the old one. Otherwise, bringing it back to the store will get you no where as they're all out of stock.

So if anyone has the same problem, or any other issues for that matter call playbook support, they're 24/7!

wtf 64gb for less than 32gb. does not make sense.

6insomnia9 11-20-2011 11:26 AM

Nabatron 11-20-2011 11:35 AM

yeah must be a miss print!

Nabatron 11-20-2011 12:12 PM

anyone know where I can find a playbook in stores? all the places I have called are all out of stock!

I didnt even think of that since when ever its charging it spins and drives me crazy and with the dead pixel thats perfect. I'm really thinking to see if I can exchange it to walmart and forget the charger by"mistake" tho :D

DavidNguyen 11-20-2011 12:24 PM

Man. The quality control for the playbook sucks eh

Seems like a quarter of the buyers have some kind of problem.
I had a charging problem and had to exchange it.
