Very capable but unpolished...
By Daren J. Austin
Bought this in America after a long wait. I have a BB Torch and was looking forward to email sync without a 3G contract.I wanted a device that would allow drag and drop file transfer, ability to view PDF, PPT, Word and XL documents - it's not really a tool to edit these, but viewing on the superb screen is great. I wanted a better web experience than with the Torch, but don't expect Google Chrome performance. I wanted a camera that would allow me to take pictures during presentations and conference poster sessions.I wanted something fast and portable - the best tablet is the one you carry with you.I'm not that bothered by Apps and don't play games. I do listen to music and already have my Torch sync'ed to iTunes.So it delivers on these fronts and for that I am very pleased. I can view my extensive reference collection at the touch of a button, answer emails and BBM.Now the unfinished part...Amazingly, for a "professional tablet", it did not come with a File Manager!!!! So I have 1400 files listed in alphabetical order every time I open Adobe reader. This has been fixed with a very good App for £4.99, but really, what a faux pas!None of the file viewers cater for file structures, despite them being present when mounted on my laptop and viewable through the File Manager App. I expect that will come with upgrades.The keyboard is nice to type on but needs some cursor keys. The web browser could do with a scroll gesture to move down the screen.I had to upgrade BBM on my Torch, to make it run through the BB Bridge interface, but that seems to be working fine now.It's pretty hard on battery life. I bought the dedicated stand-charger and it stays on this all night. My USB ports don't really give enough umph to charge the Playbook.Overall, I am delighted. Minor bugs aside, and the web browser has a few, I think it offers exactly what I wanted. I didn't want an iPad, I wanted something more flexible. I didn't want Apps, but I did want access to pdf files. If this sounds like what you are after, then you won't be (too) disappointed either.I fully expect the experience to improve in time

Definitly the tablet for me
By Rod
Had used many tablets at work for testing, then this little beauty came along. I was worried at first about the lack of app's but soon realised the app's I was using on other tablet's where there mainly due to the poor browsing support and experience. The Playbook's inclusion of Flash definitely sets it aside from the rest the browser works with youtube, iplayer and many more just how it's meant to with no need for an additional app just to give a lesser cut down experience at cost.At first thought the larger border on the tablet was a waste of screen space, now understand why they did it, when holding it for long viewing on the train my thumbs have to go somewhere. Viewing video is excellent and easy to get content on it, did spend a lot of time transcoding videos before sticking them on the device at first, then recently got lazy and just started dumping un-transcoded videos on it and had a happy surprise up to 95% just worked!Noticed that most magazine reviews and large gadget site reviews have it's star rating pretty low, suggest you read owners and users reviews instead to give you a more accurate opinion seems the people using these little beauty's are well happy but the review sites aren't.Oh almost forgot to mention the sound this thing kicks from such small speakers is simply amazing.Never though I'd find a tablet better than the original Ipad but Blackberry have managed it. Nice work fella's... will be retiring the IPad

By M. J. Power
I purchased this last week in the New Year sale (Not on Amazon I might add). I bought the 32gb with an eye to future storage capabilities and this combined with a dropbox account gives excellemnt coverage. It it an excellent well built and really optimum sized tablet. I bought it to go with my work Blackberry and as an iphone user can honestly say I was surprised and is much better than the reviews would lead you to believe.The tablet is due a big update in the next weight weeks but this is coming for some time so fingers crossed as this should finally give it a seperate email and contacts client. Also the update should give android compatibility and allow an expansion in apps. As some other reviewers have mentioned currently the apps are slightly over prices compared to other tablets and Angry Birds is especially so - But if I want that will use my iphone thanks. If the android compatibility works and opens up a lot of other potentuial this could be a real wise buy but do your homework as I did and be aware of what it can do as it is not either an ipad or a larger version of an android phone.I am truly surprised and glad to have picked it up after all £199 + £10 cashback you cannot go wrong.Wishes:1. Some form of multimedia dock with remote.2. Cheaper native BB apps3. A BB Playbook Kindle app - AMAZON ARE YOU LISTENING????????4. A good offline news reader eg Readit Later pro
