Found a Playbook for $250 on craigslist

[OSMac]

Sure is a lot of them for sale used !

Here the asking price is $300 for a 16GB.
The pics and videos, look pretty good too, at least on the PB screen.

Gotta be worth $250 if you like tech stuff...

Are you from Canada? Is that where that POS is made?

The one you bought twice?

No need to become personal or insulting, but nice attempt to divert the thread which is about your second purchase of a Playbook that has obviously disapointed you twice.
Like I said, I'm trying to understand. Why buy it a scond time and why act surprised at its shortcomings?

You also bought a Xoom and a Galaxy 10.1. Did you keep them? Did you return them? Are you gonn buy them a second time?

I'd rather recommend the Nook Color over the Playbook for a 7" tablet. The Nook Color screen is just as good and while the hardware obviously isn't as powerful as Playbook's, it still has enough more than enough power and a plenty of phone apps and tweaks available to make it a fun tech toy. Playbook is just too limited in terms of what it can do for its price.

It's a shame since QNX does show a lot of potential and I personally like the build quality a lot. But I can't recommend it. It's too much of a half-baked product.

Hey hey now, stay classy. Waterloo, Ontario is a nice little town with a ton of geeks attending the University of Waterloo, also known as RIM job supplier. (yes yes, that RIM job joke has been around forever the older students just groan whenever new ones use it)

All the ones at my best buy don't work. I figured $250 what could go wrong. Oh in case your wondering people over at crackberry.com are the biggest fanboys in any forums.....ever.......ever.

I guess you haven't seen the Exhale Britney Spears forums haha.

Anyway I love the feel of the Play book, it's just way too small for me

That's funny because you are being personal and saying not to be personal. I didn't really use it the first time. Do you love me? Are you a stalker? Or do you just not have a life? I bought a MacBook air MacBook pro and samsung series 9. Just thought I would save you some searching.

I'd buy one purely as a collectable bit of tech.

You bought a 3rd one and then post a mini-review on how bad it is?

We're sorry.

We've got some smart folks up here, but even we are capable of releasing a massive DOA product.

 

[Supraking]

You already had a Playbook, so the above is a second one? Why do you review it as if you didn't have one before?

I doubt this guy even owns an iPad, he said in the post Stefx73 pointed out that he was watching hulu on the playbook and netflix on the ipad, but hulu blocked the blackberry playbook at that time.

Good find on his triple fail. Apparently RIM employees are the only ones buying the Playbook

They are probably forbidden from buying anything else besides would you cut your own throat by buying a competitors product and risk losing more jobs, maybe even your own.
