I guess if one sales playbook another one buys it so all stay the same ....
I will keep supporting rim, if the company goes bust [ highly unlikely ] then i will pick up android phone as i use google products a lot. I think rim is doing everything right to improve the situation. it might never be #1 again [ at least in the short term ] but can go back to being a viable competition to google, apple and microsoft.Last edited by bitek; 03-31-12 at 08:29 AM.

They bring nothing to the table, they introduce topics of statistically improbable phony PB failings, and they generally bring their cleverly disguised bias' which only leads to flame fests. Less FUD, less whine, less smack, less BS, less fake fail stories, less crying over apps, less browser speed bitchin', less comparisons to other brands, less personal attacks on enthusiasts, less girly drama, less....... Each time a pseudo-member announces his departure, is really just one more of a whole lot of less. Embrace these departures, whether it be by self emulation or MOD bannings; either way, less is really more

You either love the pb or you hate it and anyone that questions the playbooks track record/performance is automatically a troll looking to stir up s**t and should be banned.I'm not pissed, I'm elated.

In the real world , in between black and white there is grey , probably more of it than of the other 2 colours. What's wrong with constructive criticism ? How can ppl not be frustrated with a product that is far from perfect - regardless of potential ?
There is no doubt that there are ppl here that want to rock the boat but they are by far a small minority - not everyone that posts something negative should be ridiculed , tarred, feathered and driven out of town . jmho03-31-12 03:06 PM - I don't know which Samsung phone you are referring to, but mine has a crystal clear sound, which is even too loud if you turn the volume all the way up. Guess what, it is also a "tool" if you know how to use it. It can do pretty much anything a BB can do. Maybe less BBM.
Btw, it looks like RIM's marketing is working as well as Apple's or other company's marketing. The "tools, not toys" thing has caught on so many people. I've seen people saying the PB is a "tool, and other tablets are toys", "it is the only professional grade Tablet PC (Tablet PC, other tablets are just tablets)" claims so many times on this forum. Can't really help but wonder how the same people can blame other consumers for blindly following Apple or other company marketing.03-31-12 03:28 PM - I honestly think that most of these "I'm Selling..." threads are just baiting threads and nothing more. Most don't own a PlayBook, but have the need to justify buying the tab they do own.
I like my PB and do not need to justify owning it or liking it, therefore I wouldn't go into iPad or Android forums and pretend that I own their device and want to sell it because it "sucks". It is based on a need of approval. Also, if people are selling it (which people do, as with everything else... ie ebay), most don't go into a forum with people who are not interested in buying the product (because they have it) to declare that they are selling.
However some do (to be fair), but only because of a strange sense of entitlement and anger that the company isn't making the product that they wanted to begin with (lack of product research), or because of marketing influence saying that X product is the "best".... totally skipping the part about personal preference and basing "best" on a fake notion that everyone has X product and you will fit in if you have it.
Ultimately, most are looking for justification and some base their lives on fitting in. Really though, it is 100% about preference and usage and 0% about brand (RIM/Apple/Google/MS/etc). Buy what works for you and understand that if it doesn't, it doesn't mean it does not work for others.
...and that last sentence isn't directed at the OP, as s/he seems to know what is the best fit for him/herself.
