    I am starting to get this forum now, posters raise a valid point if it praises BB other posters say they are deluded, if they put BB down in any way they are trolls or sheep. And every couple of months a bush-grown fruit, which is better in a well known dessert, comes along and tries to hijack things. I'm going to enjoy this!!
    Welcome aboard fellow traveller. Take a seat and make yourself comfortable. If the little green hairy intelligent gooseberry, sorry baaaaadddd... Gooseberry bothers you just whisper ice cream to him and he'll disappear again.

    this thread is not for the feint of heart. it is not for the serious person, it is not for the all together sane. this thread just is and will continue to be as long as people continue to be sad and old. As for myself I am neither sad nor old so its come to my attention others are also being consumed.

    There is a Mass hystaria among playbook owners, they have been mislead for so many months and eagerly waiting for an upgrade, but one can only wait so long until something snaps. Some lug around enormus tvs, others spend their whole day on Crackberry, while others sit in their room crying all day and all nigjt even in their dreams.

    Please Blackberry, how long will you let this horror continue ? is it that your company runs off of salty tears, is that the reason the playbook exists? I'm sure some would say yes.

    Now let's analyse this members post and find the truth!

    Given that: "this thread is not for the feint of heart. it is not for the serious person, it is not for the all together sane."

    If we apply the formula : sin(x)+cos(x)=1+x−x22!−x33!+x44!+x55!−x66!−x77!+

    Then apply the variable : "sad and old."

    Taking into account that : eπi=−1+i0,oreπi+1=0

    The we have a result of '0' which indicates 'false'

    Therefore we can only conclude that although well meaning the statement is false! (apart from the reference to insanity which applies to me and is true).

    As an avid fan and follower of all things new and spurred on by everyone's enthusiasm for this newly announced vision of our leader, I decided to test out this new idea of thors that's got everyone so excited.

    I decided last night to pop down to my local for a quick beer. I can get wifi in my local and never go without my pb but as my Z10 is in retirement and the new number on my 9900 hadn't been activated I decided to use the pb as a guinea pig. (the mobile server)

    First problem was disconnecting my 50 inch screen from my home setup but 30 mins later I was on my way. I did receive a few strange looks walking down a very busy main road with a 50 inch tv precariously perched on a wheelbarrow but so what. I was on a fundamental device testing project on behalf of Thor and the BB empire.

    More strange looks followed as I entered the bar with my wheelbarrow ensemble but luckily I'm known in there. I purchased an orange juice and went to sit down and encountered my first problem. People, yes people were the problem. They tend to populate public places and squeezing my portable dumb display between them was proving to be a bit of a problem. Undeterred I continued to seek my place amongst society with my new high tech gadget and soon happily found an empty bench in the car park.

    PB powered up and still getting wifi connection I felt I was on a roll with my new found gadget and was on the point of a major breakthrough when the first major problem arose. No power socket for the dumb screen. Across the road I noticed that the house opposite had a power socket in the garden. Cut a long story short with the help of several motorists and two six inch nails I had my power source. (wear reflective clothing when stopping cars on a main road).

    Anyway with all my jump leads connected I had my dumb tablet switched on and was all set to start testing. As my precious little pb screen was displayed on the dumb screen I felt euphoric but that's when the second major flaw in this design struck. At that moment a bus ran over the cable and it caught in the wheel. Instantly I watched my 50 inch dumb screen accelerate from 0 to about 40 mph and all in less than 3 seconds. Jeremy Clarkson would have been proud and so was I until the sudden stop when my dumb display hit the floor and I realised testing was over.

    In conclusion I realise that a proper one would have batteries installed instead of requiring all those pesky jump leads and six inch nails but I still can't see where it works.

    Anyway your views on any technical improvements that could be made or any advice you wish to offer would be appreciated.

    That's because I write them in a way that can only be understood when you've had a drink. I'm not stupid?
