i used the app screen helper lite.had to do it a couple times but i worked, and if doesnt work i guess you can take it back and exchange?

Hey i ordered the pb last Thursday but still no confirmation email from rim , I'm worried.......

Thanks I will give that a try.

Considering that I ordered from Bell online, I can return it to their retail store?

edit: actually found all the information in the shipping box. its a dead pixel :(

yes if bt wasnt turned on i wouldnt be able to bridge it the firdt time.

All the issues I had seem to be common on the crackberry forums

Hm...I'm leaning towards cancelling my order. Didn't really need one, bought as impulse when I saw the $189 price.

Hmmm...

do it and save the money for iPad 3 spring launch.

Agreed, but this is a gift for my brother in-law, so I might just tough it out.

I even looked to see if there was a way to cancel the order (when I was logged into the shop.blackberry.com site) doesn't seem to be one... guess you'd have to -ugh- call customer service?

Yea you have to call in.

If you're giving as gift, I'd advise checking and charging up the battery or reviving it if its completely dead as it could be really annoying and piss them off. It means breaking the seal but rather that then a brick upon opened.

I will be returning my PB in a few days and I have a otterbox case coming pretty soon. As soon as I receive it I will post up a thread on it and sell it at cost.

i bought mine cuz it was a good price and with os 2.0 coming out as well...plus i got a blackberry as well to pair it with if it was priced at 499.00 theres noway i would buy one haha but for the price its good

Yah 500 is too steep for me...I bought it to use it as an e-reader.
When 2.0 comes out. The people who returned/sold it
Might kick them selves.
I also got the rapid charger. Haven't even opened it.

it's really not a bad device for 200bux.. it's quite solid.. i don't even have the issue u guys are talking about with wifi bridge etc.. i'm running os 2.0 beta.. the only neg from me is i can't write chinese and shit for when i use youtube.. other than that.. it's serving it's purpose..

Check your junk email folder. That's where I found mine.

Otherwise, maybe give it a couple more days, then call. They obviously got crushed with orders, so they're just slowly making their way through them.

Dead pixel annoyance and it was kind of impulsive :p

Plus wouldn't mind the extra money that I can out towards a Samsung galaxy s2 :)

Hope you at least buy the galaxy from rogers with LTE.

Or wait til next year iphone5 and s3

just incase you are thinking twice about your recent playbook purchase... TinyController lets you control your BlackBerry from your computer - We have 25 copies to give away! | CrackBerry.com

is it just me or the playbook's power button kinda jammed? i have to use my finger nail to press it down... its not the same feel of the volume buttons...

Not for qnx?

Can the PB use iphone's internet like Bridge browser?

Also, can I download Android apps to use on the PB? Is there an Android app player now? I want to download and install PPS TV on this thing.
