I hope I get an email when they ship it out, with a tracking number...

Never ordered anything off their site before, so I don't know if they will?

From their website:

Just checked my order status, it says "inventory hold", so I'm assuming it's backordered

Price drop to $99 if you know a RIM employee. They're allowed to purchase up to 10 units.

Might be a fire sale round the corner.......

The Great BlackBerry PlayBook Firesale Might Be Around the Corner

Won't mind paying 100 for a glorified remote w/ web browser or $200 for a 64gig touch based flac player w/ web browser.

According to RFD, the employees are taxed on this "benefit" at the end of the year, so you'll probably have to add on ~$40 or 50 to cover your friend's tax.

I read that on their site when I ordered... but what I'm asking, is if anyone has gotten a "your playbook is in the fucking mail" email yet Similar to what Amazon does.

I recieved the initial "order confirmation" email, but that's it so far. My order status is 'Recieved', and has been that way since I ordered mine back on the 24th.

Just wondering what everyone else's situation is

[rubencruz]

I tried calling rim, whole day there line was busy . The only time I got through is when a prompt told me there closed . I ordered mine on the 24 to

Yeah, I have a sinking feeling their site was just raped, when people found out they were selling the playbooks at the sale price. If you get through, let us know how it goes.

Also, my mother in-law was telling me a while back, that if you call a company which has their customer support in a different country (India, where ever), you have a right to ask to be transfered to a rep in Canada. Never tried this out, but maybe now?

[Nabatron]

^^^I'm going to do that now since i have to call in about shit underneath my screen and if i get a different country ill ask to be transferred to someone in Canada so it will be easier for me to bitch lol

[terkan]

well.. employee have to get some sort of benefit rite? i don't know why the general public thinks there will be another price drop on the playbook.. i mean it's selling out already as it is for the 16gb/32gb.. so do they even need to price drop again? i mean.. intel have their employee perks every year.. does that mean we'll see those prices eventually?? nah

[terkan]

anyone know if i purchase an app on appworld on my playbook if i could log in to say my dad's playbook with my acc and download the app again?

I got my playbook in the mail this morning. Plugged it in using the included wall charger, it powered on, setup the wifi and then it says will resume update until battery is at 20%. The damn thing has been plugged in for an hour now and it's still at 0% and wont budge.
