    When every Playbook 16gb in the country seemed to be sold, by reading here, discovered Blackberry was selling them direct.

    I placed my order for two, Error! Can not place order, call customer service and give them this number, for 24 hours customer service wouldn't connect! Finally, 2 hours ago I got through. Guess what too late, too bad, so sad, and cs says no more ever at that price, not going to make any more to boot, that's what he said and I asked twice, dxxn! Well, I kept hunting, found a cell phone company still selling 16gb for $199.00 wifi and, no contract required! I bought two tonight, confirmed with cell company cs no contract. Hook one up to my 9700 and second goes to my wife. Woot!

    Here is a link, I couldn't find it through their home page, I Google, Playbook sprint.

    I was, but I never got an email. I just went to the shopblackberry site and ordered another. It already showed up on my credit card, as they just called me asking on fraudulent charges because I bought a lot this week, lol.

    The Shop BlackBerry store isn't operated by RIM themselves, so don't count on their info being any more accurate than any other store.

    Playbook website still shows discounted pricing. Someone said sale at bb would last rest of year? Sounds like retail chains are sold out. I don't see any direct advertising.

    I think Blackberry will wait to do serious marketing until February.

    Great deal on price now at BB! This is the time to buy! I already got 2nd.
