To hell with it. I don't have time to be driving around the lower mainland in the hopes someone still has stock.
Ordered from RIM. I'll take my chances.
Thanks to jeff19 for the promo code. I'm not complaining for an additional $10 off  | |

As another user pointed out as well the only time you need to use the power button is when you turn it on. Any other time you can just swipe the screen. Still that 1 time could drive you crazy I guess.

you guys dont know how to use the power button. i bitched about mine at first too until i googled. the only time you need to use the power button is if you actually use the power button to turn it off. any other time you can just swipe top to bottom (black to black) and it will power up/leave standby.
and that being said, my button is sunken, but i can still push it with my finger flat on the top where most of my finger is around the button and not on it. it doesnt need to push down and click or anything, just needs abit of pressure.

quick google says that VLC was supposed to be available for the playbook (there's QNX support from VLC) not sure if it finally has been or not
isn't it on android? cant u just install it through that or something
the playbook i got is meant as a gift so i cant check :/

im thinking i need a new media player | Your videos likely have Dolby codecs and right now, the Playbook doesn't support Dolby. Unfortunately, we can only play straight stereo.
Yes, this is one big drawback. Posted via RS Mobile | |

Anybody else have reconnecting problems on BB Bridge?
It worked when I initially paired my playbook with my blackberry over BT.
But when I turn off BT on the Bold, and try to reconnect again for Bridge, the bluetooth pairing doesn't work.
