Yes, but if you go to a car show room and they show you a car with no brakes, no steering wheel, no windshield wipers or sunroof and you still buy it you cannot complain

No, but at least when I pick up a new car, the brakes work, there's a steering wheel, windwhield wipers, and a sun roof. Sarcasm aside, I agree with the OP; I think given the drastic price drops, early adopters should receive some type of acknowledgment from RIM - I'm not asking for $200.00 cash, but how about even a $10.00 credit on App World as a thank you for being an early adopter. It's not unheard of for companies to do this - Nintendo did this for their early 3DS adopters. Something small could go a long way with early adopters in terms of keeping them happy. We are the ones, afterall, that showed our trust and faith in RIM.

Just like anyone that has purchased a PlayBook and then complains that it won't show Netflix movies or doesn't have a native BBM can complain. A little research before purchasing would have revealed to any interested consumer what the PlayBook could and could not do.

The above would be true if the manufacturer hadn't also promised all those features to be delivered within a finite period after launch.

Define: FINITE?

Hmmm, something less than infinite!

Devcon or thereafter or thereafter thereafter.

Before ipad 6 or 7.

Between qnx phone 1 and 2.

Not to "nitpick", or anything, but October is a finite period. Even December is. And it was a schedule not a promise.

You were eligible for a FULL refund that first day but not now

That is not necessarily true - BestBuy had a restocking fee. Meaning - there was NO FULL REFUND.

In all seriousness I really did expect more of rim - I really did expect autocorrect/spellcheck by now. I also really expected to be able to search pdf files. And I guess I expected a2dp to be available by now or, at least, some bt audio ability. (and I just repaired my Jawbone icons and the new update did not add it).

You want to help rim sell this device, then suggest that they give me what I want so I will shut up. Otherwise, I will continue to proclaim that the device is flawed and lacking some essential, PROFESSIONAL attributes.

Yep, one more reason i do not like shopping at bestlie.

Some people are funny, everything in general drops in price, some sooner than later. Take flat panel TVs for example, I bought my first 42" plasma TV in 2005 for over $3k, not even a year later, it drops more than a $1k, it's just how it is.

[SCrid2000]

Yes!
And I'm contacting Ford to get the difference in value from when I bought my car till now!

Wrigley's owes me a refund. This gum lost its flavor after 30 minutes...
