bros, regarding charger..

Standard BB charger is 5v 750mA
PB charger 5v 1.8A/1800mA

so is it safe to use 750mA to charge PB? i know it's damn damn slow but better than nothing. anyone found 1.8A or 2.1A charger for our PB?

also, is high cap charger for PB safe to charge our BB phone?

thks dudes!

Both can charge either to Playbook and BB. It is safe.

My personal “guess-timate” wud b roughly abt July - Aug.
Europe is only getting theirs mid-June, so wif tat I wud expect official Malaysian PB 2 b roughly 1-2 mths from then..

Then again, I could always b wrong..

hi all...using pb for 2 weeks now 16gb..battery span quite okey . seldom use it for browsing purpose, now charging once every 2days.

was at supermarket near my home just now. 16GB is selling at about RM1660 after currency convert. How much lowest can get in KL now?

There are VERY few sellers selling that low of a price. Warranty wise not sure. (not locally supported by the retailer?)

any apps can directly download youtube or MP3 to playbook?

which country u in? i heard digital mall in PJ selling around 19++

U can get for rm1650 in LYN

Wow, it’s amazing tablet blackberry tablet mobile phone. It’s offers you crystal clear HD display and rich stereo sound with Dual HD video cameras, I am really like this tablet.

I am planned to upgrade my old mobile phone.

Thanks

Guide: How to Have Playbook Tethering & BIS Access at the same time

As a Playbook AND BB user, there are many way to get connect. 1 of them is tethering to your BB phone. But during tethering, your BB will disconnect from BIS and a msg "Modem Mode Enabled" will appear.
As a powerful user, I need my bb to alway connected to BIS while I still want to tethering for the same time.
I saw some tricks at crackberry forum and want to share with U guy.

The step as below:
1) First U need to get into Engineering Screen aka Help Me screen. U can do this by pressing alt+ RIGHT aA +H in homescreen. Screen below will pop up:


2) Then, U need to find out the lock code to go further.
This is the link to generate the lock code: http://dl.dropbox.com/u/9610464/HelpScreen.html
U need to key in all informations as what appear in YOUR Help ME! Screen:


3) Once U got the code, type in the code on the Help Me! screen.

4) If U type in correctly, below screen will appear. Select Multi-WAP Engineering Screen


5) Select Tunnel Engineering Screen


6) Change IP Modem Solo Mode to DISABLE


7) Try tethering your Playbook with your BB, U will see "Modem Mode Enable" but your BB still connected to BIS.





Please aware that there is a RISK to screw up your BB if U dont know and dont follow the above guide. I am not responsible for that. DO IT AT YOUR OWN RISK!!!

Hey buddy,

The BB PlayBook is not a tablet mobile phone.
U can't make calls with it.

Even if u get a BB PlayBook, u still need ur mobile phone 2 make calls & such...

RM19++?

In Doha, most places already selling PB. Warranty wise will be 1 year. I got my 9780 here with additional cost for 2 years warranty and 1 to 1 exchange. Maybe will wait for a price drop

mikelanding, I am impressed.

Just to share the info I got from net.
Found it very annoying when tethering and my BIS disconnect. Now it is perfect.

Pretty impressive. Now that's some serious firepower for the BlackBerry smartphone and the PlayBook.

The engineering screen looks pretty geeky. I am thinking one of these days somebody may try to "root" it, like what they do on the Android devices.

bro mike,
great stuff there. however it seems not to be working for my case. on another note, when my pb is tethering, i did not rcvd the message modem mode enabled. how to checked this modem ode status. btw, i checked at the services status and my bis is still connected to the mobile network. am i missing something?

@arif,
did u go into the Engineering screen and check out your IP Modem Solo Mode is Enable or Disable?
What model U using? Under which Telco
I am using Bold 9780 OS6.0.0.546 and using Digi Smartplan RM78 per month.

Also, if U can tethering and still Connect to BIS, then this step is not necessary.

@mike,
I'm using Curve 8900 5.0.0.1067 with Celcom on BIS Professional Lite. I'm unable to go into the engineering screen. I've tried multple times and confirm that all are correct. While tethering, i open services option and it says connected to BIS.
