Bridge App Not Available To AT&T? Cod Files Inside
-
Anyone who thought AT&T was going to sit by and let this happen was only fooling themselves. If they allowed this they would have had to allow the personal hot spot built in to iOS for free as well.....and there is no way in **** that was going to happen.04-19-11 07:52 AMLike 0 - This whole mess doesn't make sense. If AT&T has figured out a way to let us have email, calender etc but no bridge browser then why would they have prevented us from downloading the bridge app in the first place?04-19-11 07:54 AMLike 0
- If Bridge is not working, with whatever carrier, this means the PlayBook does not have internet unless it's on WiFi. Nice... I was going to stop by Staples and maybe pick it up, but if I don't have internet at work (no wireless) then WTF am I going to do with this thing?
If this is a mistake, then it's RIM's fault for not looking into ALL possible issues prior to launch. The very - very - last thing you want is a bad launch, that will KILL your sales.04-19-11 07:54 AMLike 0 - If Bridge is not working, with whatever carrier, this means the PlayBook does not have internet unless it's on WiFi.

Pretty shameful on RIM's part, IMO.04-19-11 07:57 AMLike 0 - We need to start a dumpAT&T.com page and start getting people to leave them as soon as possible. AT&T has
become such a horrible carrier and just rated last in consumer reports its time to get rid of them.

This is one reason you don't want to have to depend on another device for certain functions although is 60days this should be a moot point Us carriers are about $$$. I figured the email/contacts stuff wouldn't have been a problem but once the talk of using the bridge to browse the internet. I figured they weren't going to let that one slide.
Seems like I mentioned in a thread US carriers trying to find a way to charge for this function, hope AT&T buckles because if not, expect Verizon to follow suit.04-19-11 08:03 AMLike 0 - To be honest i think this is an At&T move, if bridge was "buggy" why does it work with all other carriers? I just want to point out how the world is starting to look with At&T and VZ with 80% of subscribers if the Tmo deal goes through, more d**k moves, of course at the expense of the consumer.04-19-11 08:05 AMLike 0

I'm waiting for the native PIM functions and hope they support activesync and then evaluate again, hopefully any little quirks will be worked out by then04-19-11 08:07 AMLike 0 - I just called RIM and they said the bridge for AT&T is not available and wont be for a few weeks. I'm guessing it will never be available without a charge. It's time to start looking at other options for carriers and tablets. Its a crime for one of the biggest selling points of the playbook not to be working. If I'm going to get swindled into buying something I will be looking at other options. The Xoom is not looking so bad right now.

- That argument hasn't been applicable for any other device out there, so there is no reason to think that RIM, with their diminished clout, will be able to put a dent in a carrier's stance on the subject.
My initial reaction was surprise, only in that Verizon wasn't listed there as well. But then I started to think about it and remembered that Verizon really doesn't stock much in the way of Blackberry devices anymore.04-19-11 08:19 AMLike 0 -

If the biggest selling point is the bridge then the playbook is a fail.04-19-11 08:29 AMLike 0 - This sucks a lot
Edit: I extracted the cods, install them using bbsak or through DM using the ALX file.

So it's fair to charge the same price to allow one device to connect and use data as the price for hotspot where several devices can connect and use 10 times the data?04-19-11 08:31 AMLike 0
