BlackBerry Playbook 2012 - User Reviews

  • my playbook when turning on the red light will on and then change to green light flashes 3 times then off...whats the problem with it??? pleas help me...

  • my tab's mother board is not working

  • Please can we now make call with our play book

  • i have great experience with blackberry playbook lte 32 gb with it's great features but it's non calling tab. and for software updation blackberry service centr. sec-17a chandigarh refused to update soft ware and suggested me to dispatch the tab to banglore for software updation. i requested will pay wich ever applicable but they denied to give me service.

  • Hey dude it already in India and u can buy it on www.ebay.com on 6500 may be.........,

  • It was released as the 4G LTE Blackberry Playbook

  • is this good? i have it but i dont know how it works

  • it's a tablet not a phone

  • Im waiting for it why on a status it says cancelled

  • Thats because its a tablet and not a phone

  • Actually the RIM tablets support HTML 5 better than any table out right now.

  • Adobe flash is sooooo yesterday..... now is time for HTML5, sayonara old flv......

  • A phone without calling facility........i think its damn funny!

  • How do u send files over bluetooth??

  • In comparison to ipad, playbook is much better but how? it supports adobe flash in browser which is not in ipad more so can send files via bt not in ipad so unlike ipad multitasking is much easier and convienent on playbook have the ability to run an. apps

  • in 2020 maybe :)))

  • For an unlaunched product how can you possibly say the price is the same as the earlier Wi-Fi version? Hard to believe given this one is 3G which usually adds £100 to the price at least.

  • When will we get it in the UK....the day after we buy a rival product I guess.

  • Just SO annoying when products are romoured, you decide you want one, then can't get it. Hee is a primse case example. What is the matter with the so called management in these companies, they seem to have little expertise in marketing, and no cognisance of the negative impact delayed product launches have. I wonder if any of them have sat down and calculated by way of extrapolating sales data how many sales they lose, and customers that they never win back. Perhaps this is part of the reason for RIM steady demise.

  • When blackberry playbook 2012 will launch in india ???????

  • are you talking about the OS Version? Cause they only have 7...? what is this Blackberry 10?

  • Still with 1GB RAM... This is still gonna be another nightmare for playbook.... If you ever use BB Tablet OS 2.0 and browse the net with a lot of tabs, the browser will be suddenly closed because out of RAM.... If this device equipped with 2GB ram, then it will be no problem.... BB never learn from their failure.... >.

  • Think this is the one thats gonna be running blackberry 10

  • exist

  • wat u said sounds good but how can u be so sure about the price????

  • Heavy Dude!!!!!!!!!!

  • Guys...this playbook is the best...it even supports android apps ....it's got a faster processor and the screen is great...and now no need of another bb handset for ur emails....and the biggest plus point...same price as the old bb playbook...love it and want it....!!!!

  • does bb playbook support voice call facility ?

  • Very sharp, crisp screen. Excellent size and weight. True multi- tasking. I can stream music, surf the Internet, download files at the same time. It is fast, very secure. Front facing speakers are fantastic along with front and rear facing cameras which take crystal clear high definitions photos and videos. Best piece of technology I have ever owned. Can't say enough good things about it.

  • Much slower too.

  • 2.0 Software Update � What�s new? Improvements being delivered by 2.0 Software update will be available from Tuesday 21 February. You no longer need to tether your BB handset to get emails, contacts & social calendar these are now all built in Tethering your BB handset allows it to act as a remote control for the Playbook or to switch displays between handset & tablet Brilliant business software like �documents to go & print to go� means you can use your playbook instead of a laptop Even more Apps � there will be an additional 6,000 apps added to Blackberry App World from 21st February Existing customers can update their own Playbooks � when the update is available an icon will appear in the top task bar � all customer needs to do is click it & follow the instructions.

  • i was waiting for this oppurtunity..i want a playbook with a calling facility it would hit the market and easily compete with any other tablets...go BB

  • still no bbm im not satisfied

  • Come on RIM it's. Too heavy, I checked the Samsung Galaxy tab 7.7 is awesome, 1 - Better Screen ratio and higher resolution. 2 - Bit bigger screen almost same form factor. 3 - Much lighter and thiner.

  • hs hanndset going to the rock in market bcoz hanset fetuers are to good camera are realy with advance technology fr as per my handset knowledge it's market demand are reall y going so far.....

  • At long last, they decided to support the sim to it. wish they'll make this cheap.

  • 42 Mbps??? How?

  • Does it work as a phone or just 3G modem?

  • Screen resolution is still the same. Too bad. But it looks very promising!

  • Why Micro-SIM Card? Come on Blackberry...be serious in getting more customers...

  • Does it support Arabic Language?
