My purpose for this device was to use it as an E-reader.
Does it ever work well! I will never purchase another paperback
Book ever. One regret is not getting the 32gig
Oh and the speakers on this thing sound amazing!
So crisp. Posted via RS Mobile

Funny twist to my saga...
I ended up with one as a Christmas present lol
To my amazement, it worked great out of the box. No issues bridging, dead pixels, etc. Only issue I seem to have, is the tinest bulge on the back. I know I can return it because of this, but if it doesn't get bigger, I'm gonna leave well enough alone.
I'm still waiting for my bro in-law to set his up, let's hope his goes just as smoothly.

me and a cpl buddies grabbed the playbook today. 2 out of 3 had dead pixels, we got the 2 exchanged and still there were dead pixels albeit less than the ones we returned but still means we're gonna have to make another trip to exchange. god damn rim, control ur quality!
aside from the dead pixel issue tho i must say its still pretty awesome for $199

I love mine. The problem with the wifi disconnecting intermittenly seems to gradually disappear. Freakin pissed me off in the beginning.
Bought it for reading news, books and surfing web and it does all that. Hope they fix the problem with movies sound soon. The multitasking is just beast.
I could careless for apps. I had an iPhone before and never really use the app store. I can watch pirated NBA streaming on firstrowsports  . Can't do that on a fucking iPhone or iPad, can I?  | |

Best Buy and Future Shop are both selling it at 250. You can then also price match that price at The Source

London Drugs has tons in stock. Same price 199, 249, 399. It wasn't advertised in their flyer (managers special) so not alot of people know about it. Posted via RS Mobile | |

So was picking up my morning starbucks and I was waiting for my drink when I noticed a family mom, dad, daughter just chilling with their tablets....the mom and daughter both had ipads and the dad had a playbook...just thought I would share my store since I never see a playbook anywhere else in the wild beside FS and BB haha
On a side note my playbook is going in for a third time and this time the customer serivce guy said he will be sending me a new one and yet I have no FedEx box to ship mine out yet and he said this last week fucking RIM tech support is fucking retarded legit a bunch of half brained idiots working there!

I received my Playbook 16gb today. For 200 bucks, I figure it's worth having around just for casual browsing. What I really like is its ability to handle Flash.
