I've seen playbook videos where BBM is available when bridged. But in the latest review, I don't see BBM as an option anymore. What happened to it? Was it just a problem with this build or did they decide to remove BBM?

Nothing his is a review unit that doesn't have the final update.
Which is going to put BBM on via bridge.
Yep, the issue here is that a new version of BlackBerry Messenger is required to be installed on the phone in order to work with the Bridge on the PlayBook. RIM hasn't made version of BBM available, so therefore it's not on the Bridge.
It should be there at launch.. if for whatever reason it's not there on the 19th, I'm sure it'll be there soon.

I really hope they are working hard this weekend to make sure it's there.

Unfortunately there is no BBM through BB Bridge as of Launch Date here in Canada (April 19th).
I called into technical support and they confirmed that the functionality is not there. I was told that it will be a few weeks before that functionality is released (and to watch for any updates to BBM on my BB as it will need to be updated there as well).
RIM saying it'll be "Ready in a few weeks..." seems to be a recurring theme...
This product has lots of potential but it's very clear that this tablet was launched well before it was ready.
