Hybrid user...BB 9930 and iPad

I will admit that the main reason I have a BB is that my work keeps providing it. Management just upgraded us to the 9930 after a long debate about going with the iPhone. The game changer was that our Verizon rep offered us free 9930s to stay with RIM.

I'm loving the touchscreen on the 9930 but the camera simply sucks. Such is life.

I purchased a Playbook a couple months ago and played with it for a few days and then returned it. Before anyone says I didn't give it a chance just know that I played with it over a weekend for HOURS and just wasn't digging it. Enter the iPad...

At work I noticed an iPad on my IT guys desk. It was an original iPad but I still was interested in giving it a run. He told me to go ahead and I've been loving it ever since. That paired with a MiFi Hotspot and I am a road warrior working out of the office. In fact, I've probably spent more time out of the office than ever before and getting more done because of Pocketcloud and remotely logging in.

I'm content with my phone for now, I would probably miss using BBM if they switched us so for now I will remain a poly-brand user.

when u used the PB for hours, was it bridged to ur Bold? this is a dream combination. It makes all the difference in the PB experience if u ask me.

But to each their own. :)

I did Bridge it to my Bold, it just wasn't "wow" to me. I'm fortunate though, we use Lotus Notes at work and it works great with my BB as well as my calendar/contacts on my iPad.

eewww Fortunate + lotus notes doesn't go together

lol, ( used to be a LN user, now we use Outlook)

I agree, I may have been a little too liberal with the word "fortunate." The only good thing is that if my phone gets lost or bricks I can get up and running as fast as they get me a new phone.
