bridge has worked flawlessly for me so far.

one 'issue' i noticed pop up is twice now ive lost wifi signal at random times. when i go into my available networks it will show my wifi network connected but no signal. i have to click on "saved networks" delete the network, and then reconnect it, and it works again.

i think its more of an issue with my router than it is with the PB tho. but its a simple fix if anyone else gets it. seems common on crackberry forums tho.



also, did anyone else get a software update today? v1.0.8 now



edit: apparently the latest update is to fix a few bugs including all known wifi issues. well there we go

I'm in the same boat. Got this for my bro in-law for xmas. I sure hope he doesn't have any issues. I'm not great with computer type gadgets at the best of time, and he's even worse. Thank god for crackberry.com, you guys, and google!

for those of you who started the bb first time without having it in the charger...

IT SAYS IT IN THE MANUAL! KEEP IT PLUGGED IN DURING INITIAL TURNING ON UNTIL FULLY CHARGED.

yeah me too! bb rep dude was saying once things were ironed out with the android app player there will be thousands of apps moving over to the playbook hopefully this is true but knowing RIM and their promises could be highly unlikely lol...all I want for them is just to iron out the os on the playbook so it isn't so sketchy!

so I was just cleaning my playbook here at work when i noticed right underneath my camera on the screen the a spec of lint underneath my screen fuuuuuuuck! When I bought it there was nother under my screen and now theres a piece of lint just chillin there plus its white... such a pain in the bawlls too and would be such a hassle to bring it back and complain about it I guess I'm stuck with it being there unless by miracle it disappears!

I read one story where a fellow bounced the PB on his belly until he shifted the speck of debris over into the corner and off the screen

I haven't experienced this pairing issue you guys describe but one thing I notice that I keep forgetting is to turn on/off Blackberry Bridge on my Blackberry.

I sit there thinking "WTF did I do wrong?" for minutes until I find out I disabled Blackberry Bridge on my phone.
