Looks like a greal deal (seldom used, 7 months warranty means only 5 months old, free case and SP, somemore 64GB).

Though it might not be a brightstar set because it is cheap, but it is still worth it because still got warranty. Get it!

Any specs of things should I take notice of when taking over the PB?? ^^
Any where that is easily defected or must be nice in condition

Hmm check the screen is it scratched (if with SP, then most probably safe)
check for any dent on the body itself
try all the buttons (Lock, volume buttons and play/pause)
-note: some playbooks the Lock button is a bit recessed inside but if you are able to press it then it's okay. Mine is also recessed a bit but so far no problem.

Also check the capacity is it really 64GB (bottom got write how big) and in options > About > Hardware you can also see the capacity.

Ah yea, make sure the charger provided is the original playbook charger, rated 2A output and usually have a orange tip with a blackberry logo. If he gives you a 750mA output charger, that is for normal phone, cannot charge playbook properly.

Check the speaker whether is it working on both sides, crank up the volume also. test the camera as well.

I think that's all I can think of...

Heh, nice list man~
By the way, that dude sold off his PB to other guy without replying my PMs. rclxub.gif

Saw that Storekini restocked their 64gb with rm1112.
But it is almost August already, not sure if wanna wait for new PB or get 1 of this. D:

Do note that, the new PB although has sim card slot and faster clocked processor (same chip, just clocked faster), it has probably the same RAM, same GPU and same screen. YET it might cost you as much as the price of playbook 1 when it first launched (Around 1.5k for just 16GB, 2.x k for 64GB).

Though, seeing RIM's position now they might lower the price to be competent. Cannot say much about that.

For me, because I AM sure I will get a BB10 phone, so no point getting a playbook with sim card with a higher price.

P/S: Unless the screen of playbook 2 has higher reso i.e. 1280x800  whistling.gif

Are you sure about that?
Few minutes googling over the new Playbook but couldn't get much information about it.
RIM did not announce that the new Playbook will have the same processor ram or gpu and also screen resolution either.

What's more to a concern was that the current PB will receive blackberry10 features and their hardware compatible or not.

1. RIM didn't annouce before but that was insider news, I couldn't link you the source because that's what everyone was talking about in crackberry. Well, I cannot assure it as well.

2. Current PB WILL receive BB10 update and it's definitely compatible, RIM announced it already. The OS in the BB10 Dev Beta is already useable in current Playbook lol but unofficially http://forums.crackberry.com/blackberry-ta...laybook-736036/

Of course if budget is not a concern, then wait for the new playbook, it will be better than the current one for sure just not sure how much better.

Thanks for the information, I didn't know so much from crackberry there. rclxm9.gif

And yes, we are not sure how much better it will be, and also how much pricing for it's release.
It's too early now to make statement over its pricing smile.gif

Looking forward to buy PB 64GB. Anyone here knows who has stocks ? E-reader will be very interesting apart from Bridge functions.

Guys, just a question to ask for your opinion:

- I'm looking very strongly at this BlackBerry 4G LTE (yes, since its only 32GB its not that enticing)

however, apart from the 3G support, it also sports a better processor, a NFC Chip (that's not yet turned on) and in a way the much smaller battery.

Any thoughts, people?

That's why we say the old one is better in overall

Hard to sell with that price bro..amazon ebay all sale playbook rite now..with that price people rather buy a tab or ipad..or maybe nexus 7 smile.gif

Very true. Comparing to a playbook, nexus 7 which is launching looks much more yummy.
But it is Android, wondering it will be laggy or not

Today saw a Maxis Centre selling PB 16gb for RM888 at Tesco Menjalara.

Wondering if it is the new one or the old one
