BlackBerry Playbook 64GB Tablet

Didnt work at all . Had to return for a refund.

My daughter has just bought this from Currys for £129...spending most of her birthday money, I was a little skeptical as I'm a big fan of everything Apple but I am very impressed with this!! My only complaint is that the apps are more expensive (£5 for Angry Birds?!) but the OS supports the websites she has to use for school work (My Maths for example) which my iPad does not. She wants it for Internet, media (bbc iplayer etc) and to be honest I'm very impressed at such a well built product being available at such a good price...would definitely recommend!

Lets start by addressing the elephant in the room.... this device is not an ipad mini or nexus 7. Were the pricing comparable I would probably rate both of those devices as superior to this. However I bought my 64GB playbook refurbished with 12 months warranty for £65 plus postage. Which I would say, pound for pound, actually puts it way ahead of the aforementioned devices. I must point out that, as a tablet user, my focus is generally limited to internet browsing, managing my diary, music, video, email and the odd application. I have found the playbook to be eminently capable in all these areas and very easy to navigate around. In fact I actually find its standardised "series of swipes" from within any application to be really intuitive (I personally prefer it over both the android and ios devices I have used). One thing in particular I found impressive (as a blackberry user) was the blackberry bridge. You can bridge the playbook and your blackberry together and use the playbook to browse the web or access your blackberry emails seamlessly. Once the connection between the two devices is broken, there are no emails left locally on the device - which from a security perspective (business users) is a great solution to a potential issue. Nevertheless I am not one to be forever consuming new games and applications and I would suggest if I were, I would find the availability and quality of such apps/games on Blackberry World somewhat lacking. There is an ability (with some limited technical expertise) to sideload selected android applications onto the playbook and that does close some of the gaps - but its a process that is a tad more clunky and long winded than just downloading and using apps straight from the apple or android app store. So in summary, if you can secure one for the price I paid, its a no brainer. You will be getting a quality product that is worth much more than you have paid. If you are not someone who is endlessly looking for new apps / games, then once again buy one of these, it is more than enough for your needs. But if you are looking for a good tablet with the flexibility of downloading thousands of games and applications at very cheap prices - this isn't for you.

I have used blackberry products for many years.... and still do so. So when I wanted a tablet for business use it made sense to go with a blackberry. Big mistake.

Some of the original apps were missing, such as video chat. As the playbook is no longer supported by blackberry you can not download similar apps. I would advise buyers to spend their money on another devise.

Did not work won't switch on sent it back

I bought this for £58 it was second hand from a game exchange store. As it was so cheap I decided to read some reviews about the product before buying it. I got it in perfect condition along with two different cases. The screen is so clear and as I own a Blackberry smart phone I can conect them bia bluetooth allowing me to read/reply to all my emails, texts, bbm convo's as well as gain access to my memo's etc! There are tonnes of apps to download including a lot of free ones. I mainly bought this to use the internet and play games but I use it for so much more! I love it. It has so much memory too which is pretty awesome. The only minor issue I could point out would be that it takes a while to loads when you switch it on and due to the screen rotation is can sometimes freeze when you're opening apps but I seriously would not let that put you off purchasing it. I've used it everyday since buying it.

This is my first tablet I started using. Have to be said that I was amazed by it. The screen, the resolution , the sensitivity of the touch function is great. also It has a really solid feel and the appearance of it is more elegant then other tablets on the market. The processor does it's job great, and you can switch between application really easy. If you turn it off however it takes a while (approx 5mins) to boot up again. There is a great variety of apps available for playbook and lots of them are free. I was really happy with this. The battery life is very nice (approx 8-9 hours). The GPS function doesn't work properly though or actually it only works when I am outside of a building and have a clear sky. I think BB could definitely develop that. The camera takes reasonably good pictures, however I think the playbook itself is not enough if you go on a trip and would like to take pictures. Also when I bought it, I wasn't aware there is no flaslight, so when there is no natural light around (i.e. you are in a pub, or inside a building) the playbook is no good for taking pics. All together I believe this is a great replacement of a laptop when you are only intending to browse the internet and write e-mails, play some games. It is more comfortable and because of the size, it is really easy to carry around. I definitely recommend it. I will be looking forward to see if RIM develops this tablet and would be interested in upgrading my Playbook in the next 2-3 years.
