Heads up for AT$T victims: I downloaded bridge through AppWorld using wifi with the Mobile Network off and successfully downloaded a fully functioning Blackberry Bridge 2.1.0.26. Browser works through Bridge and so do the texts!
I've never used a rr_yy hybrid bridge app, and bridged browser has always worked with no problem. FINALLY, texting over PB is sweet!!!

Whoa, did you crack the code? Hopefully this is the way for all of us ATT users to not have to pay twice for data.
I'm gonna try this out! Thanks for the heads up!
EDIT: Just tried but could not get it to complete download. It would get about 3/4 the way and then stop and say that an error occurred. Maybe my setup or something. I'll be interested in seeing if somebody on ATT can get it this way.

If I remember correctly from all of your awesome hybrid threads... you pay for the tethering plan? Thats probably why you were able to. I don't pay for tethering and unless I used rroyy's download my browser was blocked.
I just went into appWorld, click on my world and then clicked on BlackBerry bridge.. It was showing an update inside the app on appWorld but no home screen notification.
I have beta 2.1 on my PB and don't see anything about wifi bridge. Maybe in final 2.1 os.

Wow... Thanks a lot buddy! So simple but it worked great!
Downloaded the BB Bridge update but the icon on my Playbook does not open when there is a text message. Help!
Let's wait until 2.1 Official as you haven't provided much information to what you have attempted to troubleshoot so far... Most likely you are missing something simple...
I updated the bridge on my Bold 9930, but the PlayBook update has yet to roll out. Yet I still received a text from my phone from about a month ago on my tablet. Anyone else see any similar glitch?

When an sms is received on the Playbook, an icon in the shape of an exclamation mark with a number next to it (signifying how many text messages) is received. After I press the icon, a black screen with Blackberry written on it briefly appears and then it vanishes and the sms does not open. Help again!

I see previous SMS conversation threads on my tablet, but I'm not seeing any old texts showing up as new messages.
Was worried when I saw that item in the leak about "browsing" text messages but it looks like you'll be able to send as well as receive
