Guest Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 Anybody got one? Any good? I've flogged my iPad and am wondering if this is a cheap and cheerful tablet, I only really need it for casual internet browsing. Have read all the reviews so I'm aware of the downsides - very limited apps, no native email... I also know that their OS 2.0 is due out any day which should improve things. Reviewers seem to love the screen and the build quality... At £169 I'm tempted... as an Apple fanboy this seems like heresy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I trust both these websites implicitly for their reviews, they've never steered me wrong when choosing a new phone: http://www.engadget.com/2011/04/13/blackberry-playbook-review/ http://www.techradar.com/reviews/pc-mac/tablets/blackberry-playbook-947731/review Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrative Account 7 Posted February 16, 2012 Share Posted February 16, 2012 I bought the Wife one, for £169 it's pretty good value very well built! In some ways a nicer size than my iPad, plus it even came with a case. OS 2 due in the next few weeks seems it able to run android apps. As the App store on it is somewhat limited at the moment. It doesn't have a native mail client though as it uses Bluetooth to connect to a blackberry for a few of the apps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
