Should you get it? The answer is yes
In all seriousness, I love my PlayBook and have had it since day 1. I would easily take a PlayBook over an iPad any day but the Flash experience is important to me and the PlayBook is so portable partnered with Bridge for the current prices, go as large as you can afford and you will find new uses for it as time goes on that will make you happy you have more space to play with. Especially with some of the games that have been coming out that take up more space.06-24-12 10:36 PM - I guess since Angry Birds is on the Playbook, "slow web browser" is the current catch phrase to slag the PB eh? These one sided ignorant arguments are so tiring and not true. If anything it shows how little they know about the Playbook, let alone how to actually use it.
The web browser has been very good since the OS2 update.
Of course on a crackberry forum certain people will load you up with excuses and tell you that the playbook is garbage and other mindless nonsense....but you may (like many) ask yourself....why would I accept so much BS from people who clearly are biased iTards?
Sideloading is so easy and there's plenty of threads that explain what to do step by step. If you're a seasoned android user it'll be childsplay. But, I get it. Philosophically, it's not how apple does it so of course it must be MENSA difficult.
Seriously though, I'd go for at least 32GB OP, 16GB is really not enough.Last edited by Houshinto; 06-25-12 at 10:12 AM.

After all, what company would consider charging an XBOX user who is already paying a fee for the less-than-worthless Netflix a fee to use Netflix on the XBOX? MS does. No way to get Netflix installed on your XBOX without first subscribing to XBOX Live Gold. And that is a fee.
Their handling of Windows Phone has been disastrous and everything they said about it in the beginning has turned out to be false. They pretty much screwed early adopters and now they are screwing late adopters. That nice, new Lumia 900? Won't see WP8. Any current hardware will not see WP8.
MS's success with "Surface" is unlikely.06-25-12 01:42 PM - I love my Bold 9900...so I often browse the forum.Thanks for sticking around the forums, after getting rid of your PB, to save us from ourselves.
OP asked for opinions about getting a playbook. What don't you get about that? Upset people are pointing out reality?
You fanboys make fun of Apple users but really take it personal when someone points out what a pitiful device playbook is....how ironic.
Then again nobody should have paid more than about $150 for one now today (best buy can get rid of them for $139 now) and I bet most could get a good $75 for it after a few months on here or craigslist...so its not like its a huge risk.Last edited by G550Pilot; 06-25-12 at 03:34 PM.

So I would recommend an iPad to anyone. Before u jump on the defensive and slate ppl for suggesting anything other than the PB shows the bs biased views u have and either can't see or won't see what a utter balls up rim have made of the playbookI guess since Angry Birds is on the Playbook, "slow web browser" is the current catch phrase to slag the PB eh?
