I'm buying a Playbook: am I crazy?
Hi fellow CrackBerries! Not sure if this is a proper name for the members here, but if it's not, please forgive me, as this is my very first post on the CrackBerry forums.
I just need some advice. I have wanted the BB Playbook ever since it came out, but it was not affordable for me at the time. Now that the price came down quite a bit, I am on the verge of finally getting one. But with all that's been going on around BlackBerry lately, even knowing that there won't be any future updates, no BB10 and all that, am I crazy to still want one?
Please tell me what you would do, if you were in my shoes: would you still find it a useful device? Do you still prefer it over other tablets? And would you go for the 4G lte 32GB at $100 plus dataplan (at Rogers), or just get the 64GB for $157 at Amazon and use your own BB smartphone to use the Internet? I have a Q10, recently bought it after the screen on my very first smartphone device, a BB Bold 9780, completely went blank after 2 years of vigorous use. I still miss certain things from my old phone, and even though I love the Q10, I'm having certain issues with it, but that's for a different thread. Right now I would appreciate your thoughts on what I'm about to do... And I intend to do it today, so help me out, let me know if you think I'm crazy.
My husband thinks I am, but the reason I still want it, is because my laptop broke and the screen on my Q10 is too small for watching video's, but other than that, I would use it to browse the Internet, listen to music, emails, docs, calendar, to-do list... Basically everything I used to do on my previous laptop, and what I can do with the Q10, except, I still want that bigger screen for watching video's (I got the Q10 instead of the Z10, because I can't live without the physical keyboard). I know there is the option of hooking up my Q10 to the TV screen, but I want a portable bigger screen. I don't care for thousands of apps. So considering my (basic) needs, is it still worth it to get the Playbook?
Thanks for the feedback (I'm hoping to get). :)
