How come there's so many selling their playbook because of the reason ' using it as much as I thought' 'very less use' 'not using' 'extra'..

Playbook so useless haha?

Some might have bought the playbook without a blackberry phone... or, they got it as a gift and don't need a tablet.

I have to part with my playbook for weeks, sending back to warranty to fix the loose back cover D:

How do I live without it T___T
*
haha, all the best to your PB~~ how much fixing??


Today went to TheMines and look around their digital area. Found a few selling BB's outlets, but all of them aren't selling playbook.. wtf

There are a lot of blackberry phone users in Malaysia, you can blackberry phones almost everywhere. But for playbook, most people don't really know the existence of this awesome tablet, when I show them they ask me "wow what android is this running, so smooth one?"

RIM should advertise their tablet more.

OT: Oh, btw, just realized our BlackBerry subforum has post count increment now. My #4000th post biggrin.gif

I don't see there's any one of those official retailer of Blackberry out there in KL anywhere.

And yes, I have to agree no more that the tablet is too unaware. Even I just knew about this tablet starting this year. It is RIM doesn't intend to promote their promote, or brightstar as an official partner/retailer doesn't put on advertisement well to sell their product.

That's very sad to see none of those shoplots / stalls are selling most of other tablet like samsungs apples huawei and even those china tabs but not a playbook. sad.gif

That's why, BlackBerry must let BB users know how fantastic this PB is! These users are already using BB, but when it comes to tablets, not many know about PB! These are their ready made target!

Bridge is a fantastic feature that BB users can exploit to reduce expenses or dependance on wifi or an extra SIM card/account. BlackBerry Malaysia needs to do more on the A&P side....
*
Very true, it is not achieving their minimal target in A&P section.
Even most shops does not sell PB is a big discouragement to the BB-ers, even worst when people buying tablet and want to compare among tablets in the shop, they find no PB, and just bought a samsung

Just sent my PB to Maxis agent for warranty claim/repair. Problem: when the back cover is pressed near the bottom, the screen image disappears but backlight still on, need to press power button twice to get back the screen image.
The chap filing my report got to ask his colleague "This is Blackberry What?"

They suck!!

Last time my BB9780 had an issue after updating the os ver. , as I can't get into the email configuration.
Then I send over to them. I remember vividly it was at the SoHo 360 DiGi at Mont Kiara. They hold my phone for long, press here press there, seems like no idea how to fix my problem too.
Then after that, they gimme back the phone and say can't fix, need do a full wipe.
But before that, he'd already wipe my email calender and msg without asking me in the first place!!!

I had no choice but to wipe and reload the OS back to make my phone back to factory settings before I could use it back.
And I did that all in my house, 1 hour workie in front of my PC.
I think it would be a 2 weeks work if I sent it to Brightstar. >.>

RIM's published battery life is 7 hours average.
What more are you asking?
*
For that when you run apps like web surfing continuously non-stop and your battery life can last that long.
It should be much more longer if locked and not using it.
Even iPad could have last few days without using it, but less than 8 hours if surfing web non-stop

Yes, Malaysia Blackberry marketing fails. I went to most retails and they said not selling Playbook either.
Some said need order, 1 months. >.> Bet they're ordering from amazon or whatever else oversea.

Yup, while having Skype for video calls might be nice, it's not that important to me. I've rarely used video calls, only tried out a few time with my Sony Ericsson handset. So, no prob if there's no Skype.....

yes, except for the major cut down of interest by the Skype, I don't see there is other factors which is bad enough to make prevent people from getting this awesome tab

iPad will still be the king even if MS Surface released before ipad1, why? Because of the epic app ecosystem of iOS. I have used an iPad before, my roommate has it. It is not just an iPod touch with 9inch screen.

The iPad-only iOS apps are really awesome and many companies even those magazine released apps in iPad only (not even any android or iphone/ipod touch). For example, ELLE, Ceci etc.

IMO Playbook is really great in native stuff like the browser, bbm, video player, multitasking but it is currently lacking certain essential apps (though I don't really need them like skype).

MS's tablet is a freaking 10 inch beast, I have tried ipad and galaxy tab 10.1, they are just too huge. MS Surface with windows 8/RT, it gets real multitasking yes, but one will get really bored of it after awhile.

Imagine, I have a desktop and a 15" laptop with windows 8 later. When I finish my work, pick up my tablet and play -- Hulla, exactly the same thing I have on my desktop. Why would I have the same thing all over again? Though this is very subjective, I think RIM and Playbook still has a position in the developers' minds (Just see how many developers are interested in BB10 Jam Event).

I foresee a bright future of BB10 and a myriad of awesome and big apps coming to the BB10. As long as RIM doesn't do anything stupid before that or bankrupt.

P/S: In fact, I quite like the fact that Playbook is not too mainstream because I love it when I am the only one having Playbook among my friends circle. It's so unique. Friends keep complaining their android tabs lagging while playing 1080... iPad even worse, tedious conversion and file system. As long as we keep the developers interested we can get awesome apps biggrin.gif

The playbook trend needs hardcore supporter like you to make a bright future.
Everyone knew that one thing eventually dies and went in vast when no one actually interested in it or give a fxk to it.

Actually the problem currently lies with the advertisement and buyers' attention. Now whenever a buyer wants to buy a new phone, like my friends, their mindset always set at "iPhone or Galaxy". It is like blackberry never existed in their consideration and most of the consumers out there don't even know the existence of playbook and upcoming bb10.

Because they keep on blindly following the mainstream that's why. We can't do anything about this, just hope RIM will regain their stance and make blackberry back to the top position by releasing a flagship bb10 with developers of the big names joining; with strong and effective advertisement/campaigns as well.

Or can we conclude that they are lazy at it? hmm.gif

I don't know how they did the job in other countries, but the job is done badly in Malaysia indeed

Hi all. Just got myself a Playbook 32GB Wifi. I also got a Targus stylus for note taking. I applied a matte SP on it to protect.

Question. Use of the stylus on PB seems not smooth at all. I have to press the stylus down then only i am able to write anything. Tested it on ipad & S2 and it write smoothly. Hence its not the stylus.

Is it that PB screen not designed for the stylus or is it the SP. Problem is i bought the stylus after applying the SP. Want to test if without the SP sure means $$ fly away. Hence seeking your assitance please. Thanks.

Have your tested iPad have SP??


By the way, where you bought it??

No SP on ipad. My S2 has SP and it works smoothly. Also tested on an ASUS Tranformer Prime with SP also and it works just as well.

Bought it at one of the booths on ground floor in Digital Mall
*
Ohh, is it the booth right beside the escalator?
I've inquired from them before and they told me need to order and 1 months time before it reaches me. sad.gif

By the way, is that stylus not being so compatible with PB there.
