i put that tcp in my 9900 and playbook. doesn't work

it says either turn on the bluetooth or my carrier doesnt allow tethering.
so looks like i gotta call rogers.

The tethering connection is through bluetooth, so you would need bluetooth on on both devices.

1GB will definitely be enough if you're just browsing and lightly streaming videos.

There's two 32gigs @ welmart granville location.

^^^fuck i could have got one today then oh well pre-ordered mine last night and will get it next week instead shiiiiiiiiieeet!

Lowered_Klass 11-22-2011 05:00 PM

Maaaan, I hit up Coquitlam Centre after work...

No dice. Future Shop, LD, Source, even Best Buy across the street. No 16gb, or even some of the 32 and 64!

Don't really feel like going out to Metro in rush hour. Anyone know how long this sale is on now?

Nabatron 11-22-2011 05:12 PM

just called best buy across from metro town and they are all out of the 16gb already lol well worth a shot still good tho cuz i pre ordered mine but if they had some in stock i would have picked one up today...

Do you pre-order in store? Or did you buy it through their website?

Nabatron 11-22-2011 07:51 PM

i pre-ordered mine through staples yesterday night went into the store and paid and bought a case too haha if places have the playbook before mine comes in ill go buy it and cancel my order...my buddy didn't know of the sale until he saw a commercial on tv but obviously it was too late. So i told him there pretty hard to find so he called best buy po co and they supposedly had 20 playbooks in stock but when i called the guy didn't know if they had any...i was pissed cuz how don't u know if u have the product in but whatevs..

yea in store... make sure u call them first to ask if there any available... and tell them to reserve for like 10min cuz some jerk sold the last pre-order 30min after i came inside the store.

Nabatron 11-22-2011 07:59 PM

^^^shiiieet that sucks bra! i legit called everywhere to find out if they had stock thank god one of the members on here said staples was pre-ordering them...also when i went in to pre-order the guy told me there was a certain amount of pre-orders he can send out and then they would also order extras as well for people who weren't pre-ordering

Speed2K 11-22-2011 08:45 PM

FWIW, the guy I spoke with before heading over to BB said they should be getting another shipment later this week.

Nabatron 11-22-2011 11:50 PM

i think this was asked before but not sure if u can tether your blackberry with the playbook and use data on your phone to browse the internet? cuz i know on my 9900 hotspot isn't available yet until the os is updated by rogers...

terkan 11-23-2011 12:14 AM

Some rumours about OS 2.0:

A user on Crackberry forums who was at the innovations forum in Toronto stated that during demonstrations of OS 2.0, they were using their Blackberry phones as input devices for the Playbook (I.e. As keyboards) Also, they were demonstrating auto-correct and word substitution features.
