bb + pb for work = increased productivity.made my life so much easier.. cant be happier with the product. + i upgraded to 2.0 beta so i have android apps  poynt is awesome.
i use every office app everyday and bridge is awesome! one thing that i think they can improve is letting me move files from my bb to the pb and vice versa. rather than just being able to open the file. but its not much of a hangup.
apps i use
poynt
score mobile
ny times crossword
bb bridge ( all apps for work)
nobex radio
vevo
air browser
news360
facebook
weathereye
android player:
imdb
imo
mp3 music downloader
torrent-fu
astro

RIM's site was working earlier. I think it's getting hammered.
LD stores are getting some stock. I was at the Delta location at around 9PM tonight and they had a couple of 16GB and 32GB units left.

Another nice thing about Bridge is that you have access to the phone's memory so that you don't need to buy a 32 or 64 gig unit - you can just pop in an SD card into your BB and access files from the phone to play on the Playbook.

Tried the Coquitlam and Ridge Staples, and they weren't taking anymore pre-orders.
Thx for the heads up that you can buy straight from RIM. Still would rather buy locally in case I get a lemon lol Posted via RS Mobile | |

Loving it so far. Gestures make it oh so simple to navigate. Don't really use apps too much. Most apps can be replaced by a website.
The biggest thing is email. If you don't have a bb phone I can see it being irritating to log in/out of your email all the time. I really hope they can bridge whatsapp to the playbook. So annoying when I have to put playbook down when a message is sent to my phone.

They will never bridge whatsapp to the playbook.
They hate 3rd party bbm wannabe, they sued the last guy who developed bbm and then left RIM to make his own app. Posted via RS Mobile | |

You can swipe up from the bottom to wake it up from sleep mode. I've only used the power button 2 times in 3 months of owning it.  | |
