Just dusted off my old PB. Using it as a wireless BT audio player. It's a nice size and feel.

Need some POW.

Do you currently use a BlackBerry phone? If not 150 euro sounds high to me.

150 is a bit too much for the tablet, even though I love mine, there is no way I would pay that unless it came with all kinds of accessories.

Playbook has a fantastic screen/speakers combo, I feel really comfortable watching movies with it; speakers are approximately in front of your ears, so you have a really deep sound sensation.

Another good option at the same price range maybe the Nexus 7 2012. It's not a BB and does not have the same sound quality (speakers on the back and only at one side), but:

- Almost same hardware (processor, RAM, GPU, sceen resolution, etc.)
- Noticeably lighter
- Upgradable to last Android KitKat by now (4.4.2), so you have the full catalog of Android apps available (including viruses, farts, porn and these kind of ones many people talks about... /IRONIC MODE OFF)

Check eBay, you'll find low prices for a 64GB Playbook for sure.

Way too much money for a PB. That price is nexus 7 territory for near 4 year old tech.

Pros:

- Good web surfing experience (with Origami browser), close to desktop experience. Flash player could become outdated as no more updates are to be expected.

- Screen is excellent in sunlight.

- Good battery life.

- Great speakers.

- Fluid OS (I love it)

- You can link it to BlackBerry phones via BlackBerry Bridge

Cons:

- Weak app ecosystem (with no hope of improvement)

- Improbable future updates

- Unreliable GPS (many PB devices are having problems with GPS)
