    Not trying to diss here...I've been a BlackBerry user for SEVERAL years...Began with the Pearl....Anyway I'm here to discuss the Playbook. I bought it about a week and a half ago. Not sure what the time limit return at Best Buy is, but I'm not 100% happy and I need reasons as to why I should keep it!

    As of now, the battery life is pretty terrible for me. I found the iPod Touch has a way better battery life and it plays music etc. and I haven't heard any complaints on battery when it comes to the iPad. There are barely any apps on this thing, looks like RIM is struggling for people to develop apps for this. Everyone is holding an iPad.

    While I don't really even see why I would NEED an iPad (similarly to why I didn't NEED a PlayBook), my decision was because the device itself was more fluid than the Nook Color (which I LOVED)...But for double the price I don't know why I would want to keep it. I find that facebooking on my phone is way faster than facebooking on this device, I can still view youtube videos on my 9780 too.

    Like I said, battery life, lack of apps (am I really paying $250 more over the Nook to have a slightly better device?!)

    ALSO...Tethering via Bluetooth is pretty SLOW! Even when linking in order to do BBM or Emails there is a significant lag...and I can type faster on my phone!

    If I am ever 100% happy with a device lock me up, because I have lost my mind, and it is very likely I am planning a killing spree!

    honestly dude you're an *****. did you do some research before buying it? i don't buy anything over $100 without doing a full search on it. for you to come on a forum and ask why you should keep it is stupid.

    if you dont like it, return it.

    my 2 cents...

    Screen is too big, I need a 6.5" device, and the bezels to be 1/4" smaller all around, then it would fit perfectly in all my pants,

    I don't know about that. We give each other the corresponding "p" quite frequently.

    I believe you have thirty days at Best Buy to return a purchase. As for reasons to keep ur PB, it is not for everyone. So if you have to ask people for reasons to keep it, I would suggest you return it. If you decide to get one later on after some software updates or when the 10 in becomes available, then you can get a PB then.
    Good Luck,
