Nice to see a line up for Blackberry Playbook at Canadian BestBuy
- I went to work today at 11 AM (BestBuy open at 11AM) and there was a huge line up to buy Playbook. When I told them that we don't have any left and we are getting new ones on Sunday, one customer yell at me calling me a f**&king ***** and other came crashing through the doors.
I only work part time at BestBuy while going to school. I was surprised that some people have so much love for the Playbook after the price drop.
I just wanted to share this story because when we started selling Bold 99xx we had five customers at max standing at the door. I hope I posted this tread at the right section here..

At first when I read the front page of CB about this I was pretty pleased. Then I realized that there's not much to gloat about when lines form because of a price drop. Happened for the HP touchpad as well didn't it? Having said that, I can only console myself that at least more people are going to get their hands on QNX and experience it for themselves.11-20-11 08:44 PMLike 0 -

Posted from my CrackBerry at wapforums.crackberry.com11-21-11 07:54 AMLike 0 - I wouldn't be getting to excited about this, they are practically giving them away, so it's not as if people are lined up to buy them at regular prices, are they now??? It's like when HP gave theirs away a few months ago.....at some point if they are cheap enough people will buy them.....and regarding iPAD lines, trust me, when the iPAD3 finally gets released, the lines will snake for miles, and it will be to buy them at full price, not 50% off. Wake up, smell the coffee, the PB is never going to be a contender no matter what RIM does, you are simply grasping at straws. They need to focus on new phones or there won't be a RIM to make anything much longer, despite this strange belief that RIM is 'to big to fail'. They aren't, by any means.

I love optimistic people as much as the next guy, but wow. If it was raining asteroids, I believe some of you would smile contentedly and see it as a win for intergalactic science, even as a space boulder was crushing your heads.

So even though its a price drop, its a great thing that they are moving these devices ITS VERY VERY IMPORTANT.11-21-11 11:41 AMLike 0
