for those complaining about lack of third party apps, next os release (feb.. hopefully) will be able to tap into the android market, as well as have a native email app

Nabatron 11-20-2011 11:21 PM

^^^yeah hopefully i can get my playbook before then lol

Bonka 11-20-2011 11:41 PM

I drove out to Chilliwack to do another exchange today. Several dust specks under the screen, stuck pixels and a faint "u" shaped scratch on the screen :/ Seriously.

DavidNguyen 11-20-2011 11:44 PM

lol. you drove an hr? dang
was it worth it?

Nabatron 11-20-2011 11:51 PM

how can u exchange your playbook when all the places i have found have none in stock?

Bonka 11-21-2011 12:05 AM

Actually it wasn't a big deal I've driven much further for much less. I feel like I won't be satisfied until I find one without these issues, even though I really didn't put too much effort into locating one.

I went with the 32GB and went against the grain by going to London Drugs first.

I haven't had much time to play around with the PB but playing with some Android units and the IPad in store I definitely see the appeal of each, though the Android units seem to be a bit choppy when navigating between programs; maybe it's just me or the units I was playing with.

The build quality on the PB is phenomenal. Feels great in the hand. Shame the software for now...

Nabatron 11-21-2011 08:14 AM

I'm still on the hunt for the playbook so far haven't found one yet!!!

Simplex123 11-21-2011 08:41 AM

There should be new shipments this week (at least for the Richmond Best Buy). Just call every morning to check !

Nlkko 11-21-2011 09:29 AM

So apparently you can order it from bell.ca free shipping.:ahwow:

Conversation with Bell rep:
Spoiler!


I just placed one for 16gb. Finger crossed.:concentrate:

Nlkko 11-21-2011 09:41 AM

walmart has 16gb in stock. Go go go.

Nabatron 11-21-2011 09:52 AM

Which walmart has them in stock I checked all lastnight online walmart.ca and there website said they had them in stock but they didn't!

Nlkko 11-21-2011 09:56 AM

Well it was Walmart Online. It showed "Out of Stock" but when I clicked on it, it was "In Stock" and I was able to order it. Just checked and "Out of Stock" now.

I think the 16gb on Walmart website is by default "Out of Stock". You gotta click on it to check for sure.

Nabatron 11-21-2011 10:12 AM

Well for fuck sakes haha!

Nabatron 11-21-2011 10:21 AM

This was a big +1 in my books. Felt so much more solid but to be fair, it's also half the size to its competitors.

Another +1 is that the Playbook has a less "douche bag" factor. I was at SeaTac Airport last week and you could spot from a mile away who pulled out their iPads and started reading random junk were just poseurs. :p

Nabatron 11-21-2011 12:03 PM

^^ haha yeah they are just poseurs for sure good call!

hey does anyone know of any places with the 16gb in stock this search for the playbook is pissing me off!

GLOW 11-21-2011 12:45 PM

i just did it at bell as per Nikko. no confirmation email but the live chat CSR confirmed it went through .... we'll see....

Nabatron 11-21-2011 12:57 PM

hmm still debating if i should do it through bell.ca i called london drugs in chilliwack and the guy said he read the email and that they will be getting more play books in stock next week at the same price but who knows if he was bs'n me

DavidNguyen 11-21-2011 01:37 PM

Seems like you want this thing badly Nabatron.

If you see it. Just go for it. Reguardless of where it is

Nabatron 11-21-2011 02:03 PM

Haha yeah bra all I want to do is go to a god damn store and pick one up that easy but no I have to order it online and god knows when it will come in. I have been waiting awhile for it to drop in price but then I think to myself is RIM trying to get rid of stock for a new playbook cuz isn't it time for a refresh or am I being delisional cuz I got playbook on the brain 24/7 haha
