+1000I own a 9810, but I use a 9900. The 9810 is a great phone, but I just prefer the bigger keyboard for what I use the phone for. For me the 9900 and PlayBook compliment each other perfectly. No want or need for anything else.
My 9900 in my shirt pocket and my PB in my jacket pocket. No serving tray sized tablets needed. The pair is awesome for mobility. I'm I wifi or bridged..doesnt matter...I'm simply connected. When intensive data entry is required, I sit down and break out my 13" MacAir. Everything tied in with google cloud products. I feel I have the best of all worlds now.
Use what you like and run with it.12-27-11 11:59 AM - I was about to get the 9810 but opted out and got a Samsung Galaxy S II. My reason being that the 9810 is not much of an upgrade (ie same size, looks, still freezes with the hr glass). I decided to go with a more reputable platform and "modern" phone so I can feel like I am entering 2012. I also figured the 2.0 update scheduled in February for the PB will do away with Bridge because I never liked bridge. The bluetooth integration and file transfer was too slow in my opinion. I hope to sell my 9800 on ebay and won't be looking back. No more BB phones for me.....for now

Second, if you got a S II, how can you possibly know if a 9810 freezes? I have one that I used for a month and a half before I got the 9900, and I can tell you for a fact that it does not freeze, and the only time I saw an hour glass was during the download and installation of apps.
Third, your nice new S II has exactly nothing to do with this thread or the PlayBook.
Thank you for playing. Now go enjoy your modern 2012 phone.Last edited by 18to7fiddy; 12-27-11 at 12:36 PM.

I did not say anything bad or post a secret about the 9810 that's not already known. #2 I tested and compared the 9810 quite a few times with the 9800, in the stores and using one owned by a friend prior to getting the S II. (In fact this friend works for AT&T and had the 9810 for couple weeks and got rid of it for the SkyRocket and just sold me on the SII, ha !) Googlemaps, facebook, googlevoice would all freeze on the 9810 forcing me to pull the battery. I thought the glitchiness would improved being that its a 7.0 phone. IMO this is a weak upgraded. I was merely commenting on the premise of the thread title which is "why own a playbook and a bb7 (9810)...I say NO you don't have to and stated why the combination is not needed. Hey, you want to buy a case, 2 batteries and charger for your 9810, they fit and nothing has changed physically between the 9810 and the 9800First off, this is exactly the kind of thing the OP asked people not to post.

I was in a store recently and the new Galaxy Nexus (by Google) was frozen in demo mode. The salesperson said the OS needs to be reloaded. Your Galaxy will most-likely freeze in 2012...bahahahahaha
