Getting harder to defend RIM
I am one of only two blackberry users working alongside what I have liked to call Apple drones... I have defended RIM and ridiculed my friends for being suckers for great marketing. That is until recently. I refained from purchasing the playbook when it first came out because I was waiting for the ability to run android apps and more importantly native email. Things that were promised in a matter of weeks from launch. Months later and still nothing. However, I couldn't pass up the $300 discount so I went ahead and ordered it off sbb on November 27th only to be duped again. It originally said it would be shipped in 1 - 2 business days. Three days later it has changed to 5 - 7 business days... Then it said shipped but my card hasn't been charged and still no Playbook. I have emailed with no response and after sitting on hold for hours, I finally just gave up. I am finding it harder and harder to carry my blackberry smartphone with pride. I actually stopped by the AT&T store the other day and found myself checking out the IPad. I never thought I would get so low :(
