Would anyone out there buy a BlackBerry Smartphone that has the same style as the Playbook? I really like the Playbook's "slab" design without any chrome or metallic accents and also the slightly rounded corners. I was a fan of the Palm Pixi's design as in..... rubber backing and sides and no weird bends. There is nothing fancy about the Playbook's design but it looks and feels awesome and rocks.
me too i love the chrome edges on my bold. im using the black 9780 and the chrome is darker. i personally think the 9700 chrome makes the device look more sleek
Depends on if it had a physical keyboard or not. I'm done with virtual keyboards on phones. As far as the chrome finish i could do without it when you drop a BB that's first thing to chip and sticks out like a sore thumb. If it was just matte black plastic it'd probably take blows better.
I always liked the idea of a tablet-phone. I don't like holding phones up to my ear, so I use headsets (wired or bluetooth). That way, I can take notes and check on things while talking. It would be even easier to do these things if there was a tablet with phone capabilities.
One nice feature of BB devices is being able to take notes during calls. They get added directly to the call log. While in a call, just press the menu button and you have the option to create a note. Having the larger screen to do the same things would really be nice.
