Guys. I'm planning on getting a PB once it is officially available in Malaysia (due to warantee issues).

Some of my friends ask "Why not iPad and Honeycomb?".

My standard reply is:
1. I like the 'Blackberry experience'.
2. QNX OS appears much more powerful.
3. Full browsing experience.
4. I can use my BB as a modem.
5. I don't like iTunes.

What are YOUR reasons?

I have an iPad at home and I just bout the Playbook. Let me tell you the reasons why the iPad is collecting dust now.

1) Size. The Playbook is at the right size for me to bring it wherever I go. It can even fit nicely into my pouch.

2) Blackberry Bridge. Emails, BBM, Calendar etc. all in when paired with my Bold 9700.

3) Tethering. I'm on Maxis BIS Unlimited so my Playbook is literally connected to the web 24/7.

4) OS. Seriously, iOS is just boring and dated. QNX offers a software update every 2 weeks.

5) Hardware. Full-HD dual cameras and a processor that can multitask like I've never experienced before.

6) Active bezels. Offers a totally different experience when using a tablet.

7) Browser. One of the best browsers I've used on a mobile gadget. Flash support wins it.

8) Screen. Has more pixels per inch as compared to the iPad 2.

9) Future proof. Will be able to support HDD and many others in the future.

10) Different. 9 out of 10 tablets I see on the streets are iPads and iPad 2. Screw that. Bloody sell-outs mainstreamers.

blinky,
that's very well summarised really. almost to the point - but no 10 item might get u in dispute with some not too happy antagonists!..

bytheway, do u think the upcoming 3g/4g version might throw the current version into absolete if the pricing is not marginally huge? many are calculating either to throw in the towel n grab one now or wait a little longer so for the 'G' version coming up..

cheerio!

oh, mikelanding, u got pm!  thx, cheerio again!

Don't see a point for someone like me to get the 3G/4G version because I'm already tethering on BIS Unlimited. Wouldn't want to have an extra monthly commitment.

Guys, do you know any shops or personnel around that knows how to fix a playbook?

my mic is faulty and it emits this high pitch beeping feedback sound and it's annoying the hell outta me.

Does anyone know what is going on with the Appworld?

I can't seem to buy any apps with my PayPal. And when I tried changing my payment method to credit card by going on to Appworld via my pc, it says page no longer exist?

It's so bloody frustrating.
