I UPGRADED TO THE 2.0 EARLIER THIS MORNING I HAVE TO SAY THAT I WAS IMPRESSED WITH MOST OF THE UPGRADES MAINLY THE BLACKBERRY BRIDGE. THEY HAVE ALSO ADDED ADDITIONAL FEATURES TO THE SETTINGS I'E. YOU CAN NOW ADD ALL OF YOUR EMAIL ACCOUNTS FACEBOOK AND TWITTER IN ONE PLACE AT THE SAME TIME NO GOING FROM APP TO APP ANYMORE. AND OTHER FEATURES LIKE THE LED GLOW AND NOTIFICATIONS ARE BETTER SMARTER KEYBOARD, AND A PASSWORD HINT. THOSE ARE PRETTY COOL AND FACEBOOK EVEN HAS AN UPDATE FOR THE NEW OS. I DO LIKE THE NEW FUNCTIONALITY OF THE VIDEO CHAT FOR INSTANCE, THE INTEGRATED ADDRESS BOOK. BUT, WHAT DOES THAT MATTER WHEN YOU STILL CANT CHAT WITH ANYONE ON THERE BECAUSE THEY DONT HAVE BLACKBERRY. AND THE CAMERA FEATURE IS TURNED ON. AND NOT IN THE OFF MODE UNTIL U TURN IT ON WHICH IS VERY IRRITATING TO ME. YOU CANNOT ACCESS YOUR EXTERNAL CHAT CLIENTS- SKYPE OOVOO LIVE OR YAHOO WHICH TO ME MAKES THIS PARTICULAR FEATURE AS WORTHLESS AS IT WAS BEFORE. EVEN ON MY 9850 BB TORCH. I HAVE INSTANT MESSENGER. WHATS EVEN MORE DISAPPOINTING IS IN THE BBPB APP WORLD THERE IS ONLY ONE APP THAT HAS IM AND IT IS NOT EVEN GREAT AT ALL CALLED IM+ AND IT COSTS TOO MUCH WHEN YOU ADD IN THE FACT THAT YOU STILL CANT VIDEO CHAT, WTF!!!!!!02-21-12 11:23 AM - Easy there cowboy. I believe there is a third party app that allows cross-platform video chat, although i don't remember the name. As for messaging, usually it's up to the powers that be that manage those services (I.E. Not RIM) to develop an app, this is mostly due to proprietary reasons. One of the main pushes for OS 2.0 is to make the playbook platform much more inviting for those powers that be, so they WANT to make a messaging app or whatnot. Time will tell if it works, but i think it was the best move that RIM could of made with the tablet market the way it is.I UPGRADED TO THE 2.0 EARLIER THIS MORNING I HAVE TO SAY THAT I WAS IMPRESSED WITH MOST OF THE UPGRADES MAINLY THE BLACKBERRY BRIDGE.

- Haven't read the rest of the posts, but to create your folders is easy.I have the same question. Seems like this OS gives with one hand then takes with the other, ie add numbers to the top of keyboard but no way to access these on demand. I'm not bashing or trolling but basic improvements in functionality could have been much better. I don't own a bb phone so bridging etc are a non issue. I really miss the favorites and other folders on the main screen. What's up with that?
Say you want to create a folder for games, simply hold down any icon on the screen till they pulse.
Pick a game icon and slide it on top of another game icon, from there you will see a top screen for creating a folder. Name it anything you want, I would assume games.
I have sorted my apps into: Games, Reading, Utilities, Social, Media, Business & Travel
What Folders have some of you created?
Also, the Help files you find on the playbook have all been updated for os2, so any problems you have, you will find the solutions in there.02-21-12 11:36 AM - I noticed this morning that my weather app was gone. But it wasn't.Guys My VideoChat App Simple Dissapear Someone have a Clue What Happened :S
Before you would just scroll all the way down to the end. Now there is a page 2.
Swipe from right to left on the main screen and page 2 of your apps will show.
I'll bet your video chat is there.02-21-12 11:48 AM - you could always call them.I UPGRADED TO THE 2.0 EARLIER THIS MORNING I HAVE TO SAY THAT I WAS IMPRESSED WITH MOST OF THE UPGRADES MAINLY THE BLACKBERRY BRIDGE.

02-21-12 11:49 AM - Well...someone as to do this.
J'ai t�l�charg� la mise � jour ce matin, quelques minutes et...voil�! Contrairement � certains tout semble fonctionner.J'adore la nouvelle pr�sentation,la possibilit� de cr�� des fichiers sur la page d'accueil,le courrier int�gr� marche � merveille,tout les fichiers ont pass� le test sans probl�me.
Il est cependant malheureux que cette mise � jour n'ait pas �t� partie int�grante d�s la mise en service de la playbook...l'histoire aura �t� bien diff�rente.En contrepartie,personne n'aurait pu profiter des rabais sur la tablette puisque les stocks n'auraient jamais d�bord�s.
Im i the only one to finally get m'y 802.11n working? No one mentionned it yet.
As for the ones looking for the perfect machine that can do absolutely everything and then some....good luck...life must be tough.
And finally...Kevin...thanks for the awesome work.
Nice job with the translate. Google got confused because there are missing spaces between some periods and the start of the next sentence.
fonctionner.J should be translated as... "Unlike some everything seems to function (work). I love (adore) the new..."
well diff�rente.En is "the story would be different (ie the PB would have been a greater success if this was all part of the original PB at launch). On the other hand, no one could..."
At least this is by my poor French language skills!02-21-12 12:01 PM
