I'm a gadget guy and I'm a Apple fanboy from the days of iPod classic and have owned many apple products but just thought of trying something new (motivated by my positive experience with Windows 7 phones).

Price: 14k or less is absolutely great price for a product of such build quality.

Camera: Works as expected from a 5mp (and 3mp) camera but remember there is no flash.

Speakers: Very good for a tablet, loud enough.

Touchscreen: Excellent resolution, at par with apple stuff. Great for p...

After having read up a lot on the playbook, I decided to take the plunge and pick it up during the offer period.

First bit of advice to anyone considering the Playbook, please do your own research, based on your requirements.

The Playbook is a brilliant device as an overall package. The biggest drawback is the lack of apps and the fact that the future of the device is uncertain. Having said that, OS 2.0 (Which has been reported to be made available in February) will support most Android ap...

I have an apple ipad and have used the bb tablet........ The tablet from blackberry is much bettr its got better camera.... Better processer....sooon a better OS.... And its got
bluetooth (Apple lacks)
Superb video formats no need to sit and convert videos
Photos
Internet
Wifi
Better touch
And most imp.. USB port!!!
TOTALLY WORTH IT!!! Dont buy the iPad buy this

I was going to buy this tablet as flipkart was giving a heavy rebate.

But then again I don't have a bb, and without bb bridge its still not worth it, doesn't even have a native email client !! leave push mail !!

BBM will NOT come to playbook even on OS 2.0 (feb release).
No 3g, either bridge with bb or use an Android phone with hotspot.

App world is miserable/costly so now RIM is counting on the forthcoming android emulator, you can be sure there will be very few apps optimized for pb and...

Hi people,

I have been using this tablet for almost a week now and my verdict is a full thumbs up!

Pros
Touch - responsive and smooth
UI - Kind of grows on you
Multitasking - Fantastic. No lag anywhere with 5 simultaneous app running
Display - Nice
Gaming - Awesome. Check out the pre-loaded NFS game.
Built - Solid. Offers a good ergonomic grip. Feels good to hold as well. Oozes quality.

Cons
Apps - Not enough apps to play around with on Blackberry App store. Though most of the necessary a...

It's probably the best productivity tool out there, in tablets that is. UI is superb. Hardware top notch. There is no perfect tablet out there, so depends on whether this fits your needs, but i must highlight that this product is extremely well made.

Big problem with PB has been choice of apps, which has started to change over the past many weeks. Also, with the 2.0 OS expected in Feb 2012, it'll be compatible with Android app world, which should address the problem. Having said this, it alr...

i have bought this device very recently and i would say it meets users expectations. also as the new update is expected soon if some body wanted to have an entertainment kind of a device this one is the best choice. the best part is the memory vs price and the multimedia features. also it can able to connect to non bb mobiles for internet tether. i have connected nokia e71 and i am writing this review using this feature. i am not whether it would be worth to wait for further price drop. a bli...

My friend bought this from flipkart and I had a chance to use the Playbook. It's an astounding device to say the least. Sad that RIM doesn't promote this heavily, coz this blows both Android and iOS far far away. The features I'd like to comment about are

Hardware - The hardware quality is fantastic. It is a rugged device and the feel and quality of the entire tablet is very very good. The internal specs are awesome - Dual core processor, 5 & 3 MP cameras, 5000 mAh battery.

Software - RIM'...

BlackBerry PlayBook doesn't support external storage that means no Micro SD,nor Sim card so no internet on the go.but it's got Wifi..it feels rigid and durable, as though you could drop it and not cause too much damage.The tablet is easy to grip and looks bright and crisp.The dual-core 1GHz processor,and 1GB of RAM add some muscle to the PlayBook,running most of the apps i tested smoothly and quickly.i used it some time ago,a friend of mine brought this about 28k.and i was like ^O^.but now it...

I have been using a 64GB Playbook with the new OS 2.0. Can tell one thing for sure, that gradually you will start loving this tablet more and more every passing day.

A few reasons which make it an absolute buy is its amazing speed, display, its access to android market (with OS 2.0 Update), native email client, integration with all social apps, battery backup and the build quality. BB has got it perfect with this masterpiece. Though many might draw comparisons with Ipad and other Android de...
