Well, look at it this way... You DID get to watch your baby grow up...
But unfortunately it was a complicated and very expensive birth, and it caused some permanent damage. So your precious baby is ********.
That doesn't make it a bad or useless. Just means that it has some severe limitations, and it might never be able to do the things that other parents take for granted
How much did you pay for it though, and how big is it? Cause if its a 16 or 32 gb version you might be lucky to get 300$ for it, from somebody who doesn't pay close attention to news and prices. Wait a couple of weeks, and those 300$ should be able to get you a 64GB version!09-23-11 01:04 AM - i bought a playbook for 500 and i knew exactly what i was buying. i got to use it in store and i was able to see everything that was available for apps. i, like many, felt that this price matched the product we were buying. if we thought differently we would have possibly purchased another tablet or held off till price cuts.
price cuts always come
its sad sometimes when someone purchases a product just prior to price cuts. though most of the time you can see them coming when you do a little research on any product you want to buy. playbook price cuts have been mentioned recently in the forums from various carriers for certain customers. its only a matter of time before everyone has access to these same prices.
whenever you make a large purchase the wise thing to do is research
if your truly mad about the decision you made to purchase a product at a certain price, chances are you never really could afford it in the first place. i feel sorry for those who go into debt to make purchases they can never really afford. i do think there are many resources available to help with your problem online.
for the rest of us who were glad to make the purchase, very exciting times ahead. we are about to get more value out of our playbooks when they release 2.0

Like flies to flypaper - I'm backing off of this thread before I get in trouble for being positive, happy, encouraging, and optimistic
Sorry mods, I guess some people are hopelessly attached to being miserable, and spreading misery. Thought I might help them out.... but nooooo.
Close it if you want.....Last edited by blackjack93117; 09-23-11 at 02:46 AM.
09-23-11 02:35 AM - I don't feel ripped off at all! This device has a lot of kilometres on it and has saved me and my girlfriend when we were in need to kill time. For example, surfing the web while waiting for a flight, or watching a movie while on a road trip... this thing has just been spectacular! In fact, every morning when my alarm goes off I pluck it off the dock and surf the web or check my Facebook, etc.
If it weren't for this Playbook I never would have downloaded the Al Jazeera app to watch their news broadcast on an almost nightly basis and learn that their broadcast isn't as "bad" as the right wingers would say
And if you feel ripped off, maybe tablets aren't something you should be buying just yet? And I would rather have my Playbook as opposed to having my iPad 2 only to hear Rice or Jobs announce a new, better iPad 6 months later.09-23-11 05:26 AM - Thank you sir
Actually not designed that way, but sure did work out that way didn't it?
I'm just trying to help bring you all over from the dark side and try to enjoy life while waiting for OS2! C'mon join the optimists club, it doesn't hurt to smile and be happy and hopeful....
Decided to stop whining and just lead by example I'm a changed man.
A good stint in rehab after being banned can do wonders. You should try it!
