However, i saw some people in malaysia have this on their Playbook, how is this possible? Can someone please enlighten me coz I really really want this awesome looking app on my new PB notworthy.gif

Thanks in advance guys smile.gif

Hi,
Use this guide...smile.gif

How to load country restricted apps into your Playbook for example Blackberry News for Playbook

1) Follow below link to setup your wifi using http proxy
http://aussecurity.wordpress.com/2011/05/1...playbook-proxy/

2) I use proxy 173.203.109.204 port 80
and no password or username. It is a bit slow but better than nothing right?

3) Now U can see the Blackberry News for Playbook when U search "news"

4) Install and walla.. It is in my playbook now. smile.gif

Everywhere else (US, India, Australia, Singapore, etc), the PB is priced the same as ipad 2 wifi for all 3 storage size variant.

Wonder why Malaysia's PB is more expensive.
*
Are U sure your statement is correct?

As example of 16GB Playbook/ 16 GB IPad2 wifi:
US - US499 + 6% Sale Tax (0 to 9%, norm is 6%) = Around RM1613
India - Rs27,990 (Ipad2=RS29,500) = Around RM 1905
Singapore - SGD668 (Ipad2=S$668) = Around RM1643
Australia - AUD689 (Ipad 2 is AUD579) = RM2189! (http://www.harveynorman.com.au/page/search?q=playbook)

At India, PB is actually price cheaper than Ipad2 (Apple India while in Australia is the other way round.

So, which is cheaper after conversion?? wink.gif

Hi, what does that mean "US warranty complete with warranty handling". If there's a problem, what is the step to get a warranty claim?
*
Direct quote from irwan sale thread:

Warranty: Irwan's 12 Months US warranty.

What is it: Irwan's US Warranty will get you a replacement (most of the time) if you need to claim the warranty. I'll support 50% of the cost to the US and you will only need to pay RM50. The shipping back to Malaysia is free on me. The turnaround time is between 3-4 weeks. I have a dedicated runner in the US who will take care of the warranty process so you don't have to worry about it. I have been selling hundreds of highend devices to Lowyatian with spotless aftersale service.

Not all the steps need to redo...If U set it let say 30Days.
Within the 30 days, when U reboot. U can just press Alt + aA + H, U will straight get to the Engineering screen WITHOUT need to key in the code.

A playbook. An imac is basically an oversized ipad with keyboard and 10x more functional than an ipad.

Err..I dont quite agree iMac is 10 X more function than an Ipad..
I owned a OSX device. It is definitely more than 10X functions than an Ipad or Playbook.
