I'm quite a big Blackberry fan and I'm thinking of getting a Blackberry playbook.

Any one have/used one. I'd like your honest opinions please

Thanks

With all of the problems that we've been having at work with Blackberry's I think you'd be mad to even consider one.

I'd suggest you go with either an Ipad or Samsung Galaxy Tab, both of which have significantly better performance when it comes to video.

2 days our blackberrys have been down. Intermittent email and bbm, not good for such a large company.

We have a playbook at work. Haven't had chance to have a good play with it yet but seems clumsy and clunky compared to the ipad.

I would find one on display somewhere and definitely try before you buy.

E-Mail rereral from my Hotmail accoout to my Blackberry curve phone has been intermittent since the weekend. I understand this is the second major outage recently.That said, it doesn,t effect me that much as I'm only an occasionAl PAYG User.

Didn"t RIMs recent woes begin shortly after they announced they were introducing a new operating system for the Playbook capable of running an Android OS - presumaly as a Winows type virtual application. I think they are doing something similar for their phones making 250,000 more apps availableM

This seems interesting My link

I'm thinking of going to a Galaxy s11, two days in a row my BB is just like a nokia 3210 can't do owt with it :(

Don't think about it... Do it!

Just make sure you order a nice BIG capacity MiSDHC card to go with it, either a 16 or 32Gb one, I just upgraded my card to a 32Gb Cl.10! It's already 66% full of music & video + apps.

I find the battery life on the pb to be awful. That's the main reason I wouldn't spend the money on it. The other reasons being screen too small and lack of decent apps.

I'm a Galaxy SII user and love it as a phone but not sure I'd buy a Galaxy Tab. There are a few good Android tablets out there Asus eePad and Sony S and P but at the end of the day the iPad2 is hands down the best Tablet on the market.

The Amazon Fire looks decent and cheap! but you'll have to wait

What I have been told is:

The new bb os (QNX) will require new hardware so existing users will have to upgrade their hardware. The first device will most likely be a small tablet device like a playbook. QNX phones will come later.

The "Android Player" is an app or feature that allows you to play Android apps it does not run the Android Operating System.
