QUOTE(hyperyouth_firepower @ Mar 27 2011, 03:40 AM) The feature you're talking about is called BB Bridge. All PlayBooks have wifis installed on them. For it to work also as a phone, all you need to do is just BB Bridge it to your BB Smartphone. All your calls, smsesn BBM, everything is ported through (no data is stored on your playbook though) BB Bridge into your BB PlayBook. You can also utilize your BB smartphone's data connection (EDGE, GPRS, 3G) to the BlackBerry playbook. Thought it's just email, calander, add book, task list and BBM right that's ported over? Which is a shame, was hoping for SMS and what nots to be ported over to, would be nice to do most of the stuff through tablet when I'm home instead of having to go back to the phone, ala the new HP webOS stuffThink of the Playbook as an extension to your BB SMartphone. |

Well, I'm not sure what the Bridge can exactly do and don't, but there were hints that it could do what you say. After all, what I've read (from CrackBerry's interviews with RIM CEO) is that "think of the Playbook as an extension to your current BlackBerry Smartphones.
I wonder! |

@Manstir:
I'll suggest you Samsung Galaxy Tab then. All in one as you wished. We have reasons why we're quite happy with the WiFi model of the BlackBerry Playbook. |
