RIM BlackBerry PlayBook Review

[eamerv2]

Most annoying voice in the world.

[airzfact00]

im getting this on my birthday (may 2nd)

[KadeW10]

@airzfact00 I'm getting this on MY birthday TOO!!! (March 17) xD

[jadoo93]

pretty much every thing it "lacked from the start" is now available with playbook os 2.0 (; just to let people know

[AllStarrzTV]

you cant skype with it?

[AdmiralGilgamesh]

@AllStarrzTV There is no official Skype app, unfortunately.

[XxPyThOn84xX]

hi how do you get all of that all, favourites , media and games??

[Kazra1234]

@PhoneArena do you have to have a blackberry to buy a blackberry playbook?

[usasoccerfan17]

@Kazra1234 no

[lmb1009]

Excellent review... Good work!



[GuardianDemonX]

shit cant stand his accent

[admorris11]

God...you're use of the word "experience" makes your reviews just about unwatchable for me. That is the most annoying phrase used in reviews today. Come up with something new.

[kart007k]

expelience?

[19grand]

good review

[19grand]

expandability? Can I connect an external hard-drive to this and play my videos and stuff on it?

[cyco3dg1]

i have bought a playbook just yesterday when i open it for the first time the wifi turned off while it was downloading the software update in the first installation so the download have been stopped, when the wifi turned on the software update couldnt connect to the update server and i didnt know what can i do ,, i didnt see the menu until now,,,,,,, i need help please help i think that i will be mad if i cant solve this problem

[THEKVOKID]

Can you enter your micro sd card? if so where?

[ibrahimelnasri10]

@THEKVOKID no, because it come in 16, 32, and 64GB

[mrEbraheem]

Can I install SIM card in it? if yes then can I use that weird blackberry service (sorry I don't know what is its name) that allow you to chat with other's blackberry phones? if not then can you tell me if there is any other version of playbook that allows you to do the chat? please answer me ASAP! thanks :)

[supersizeme5]

@mrEbraheem you need a blackberry phone for that service (BBM) andyou can't put sim card in it. :( but it's great

[GabrielGidonTV]

@mrEbraheem he just said on the video there is no 3g connection on it, it's only wifi capable.

that thing that you chat with other blackberrys is called "BlackBerry Messenger" or "B.B.M" <-abreviated....idk why you think its weird.

there is no other version of playbook.

[AsifShadat]

@mrEbraheem No you can not insert a SIM card in it. But if you have Blackberry Smart Phone you can connect it via bluetooth and operate your Playbook; through a software Blackberry Brigde.

[Lilezan]

To think that 16gb is £169 in England!!!

[XxAimeeBaybiixX]

I have Ipad 2. Kicks ass compared to any other tablet!

[keyblade09]

@XxAimeeBaybiixX its just an overgrown ipod touch, nobody likes the ipad 2 man, it gets real boring when you spend a lot if time from it.

[malqudah2002]

i ordered one from blackberry for 199. i owned iconia a100 android. i like android but on tablets it still need more work. alot of defferent ui and options each tablet. besides i dont like visable nav buttons. i would say one more year android will be the best maybe.

[fingerman271]

getting a 32gb for my birthday in one week

[LesKern]

As a 20+ year Apple user and owner of server iPads (and an Asus Transformer, ugh) I have to say that this, at 199.00 is an incredible bargain. The response time is light years ahead of the Transformer.

[yahooizzle]

@LesKern apple for 20 fucking years you suck

[LesKern]

@yahooizzle Classy. You know, there should be a youtube specifically for mouth breathers like you. Maybe they can call it DuhhhhhhYouTubeUhuhuhuh. Then you can insult your peers.

[OsafuneKurisu]

affordable tablet!! 

[Faucheux70065]

QUESTION: Looking to buy this for my 68 yr. grandmother. Not too computer literate, but can somewhat navigate on her PC. I am looking for something easy to use and that I can download the grand kid's pics/videos on (GRANDMA'S BRAG BOOK), and download Android apps such as scrabble, crossword puzzles, etc. UNDER $200. Would u rec. this tablet for her? If not, do u have another suggestion? Thanks.

[JayThaReal15]

@Faucheux70065 For $200 and under this will be perfect, It will take a day or two to get used to but for small game apps, pics, and videos I think this will get the job done easily

[Ushvin18]

Well it's better than the pandigital nova tablet

[kalargyi]

$700 for a 64gb, hmmmm,

in another world android + 64gb SDHC = less than $350

[Tyndallist]

@kalargyi The Price has went down significantly. I think it's $400 now for 64 Gb, but for sure it's $200 for 16GB. I do agree that it was really overpriced when it first came out.

[sssnowday]

Is there a 1/8 plug to put earphones?

[PaulyIshams]

@sssnowday yes

[Moegitto]

10:55 was the best part of this video

[OnyxianHeart]

And Jesus, mouth-breather.  Blow your fucking nose, lmao.

[OnyxianHeart]

You should work on your grammar. "More easier" just completely discredits your entire review.

[Gamehacker777]

is it good?

compare with archos 70?

[madzane94]

webos imitation is nice lol.... Definitly worth the 250 its for on amazon now

[oONotyBoyOo]

no 3g n u wanna compete ? even mobiles r better !!

[765tinyrox]

now they are 299.99 any size 16-64 GB at bestbuy

[kingcolecrazy]

Should I get the 64gb Playbook for 300, but I have to exchange my asus transformer to get it what should I do?

[aveling007]

@kingcolecrazy I would keep the Transformer.

[ejonuv]

@kingcolecrazy keep the transformer if you want more function and versatility, i'm going to get one now. ICS is also for update on Feb. :)

[baldolera]

I got the 64GB for $300 Canadian

[2secondman]

@baldolera who gives a shit ?you still have a small wiener

[baldolera]

@2secondman cool story bro, and you would know because...?

[greenboarder89]

how do you guys get this for less that $200!!??

[mitsri1991]

@greenboarder89 contact someone at RIM

[DrakeMan68]

Awesome piece of hardware for anyone thats not dumb! At least for 200 bucks?? Or pay 5-700 for an I pad that has no flash or something made in China. Buy North American! Go Leafs!!

[crossforced]

I just got this for 199 :)

[fabriciomeirana]

Galaxi 2 the best ever

[RandomAccount922]

Wow excellent review 97.3 / 100

[MattBrownGC]

@RandomAccount922 OR 9.7 OUT OF 10

[mikestibor1]

Good review. Usually when I watch tech reviews on youtube there's a lot of stuttering (uhh.uhh.), dead air, and overall disorganization of presentation. Not here. Well presented and professional!

[paisley1231]

i was more intrested in the gameboy.

[JamesiProductions]

my blackberry curve speakers 'crackle' a bit when at max..am not bothered :p

[missyjellyfish]

i got my 32gb model brand new for £199 from the carphone warehouse.. its brilliant!

[dreamlife222]

It's got some nice features, but I'm returning mine. No option to use a flash drive or any type of memory card is a deal breaker.

[theneed4speed1]

or..you can just get a galaxy tab 10.1 and have the best tab in the world....

[drscaryman]

Is this a good tablet for someone w/o a blackberry phone, and not looking to use it in a buisness like way? I have the chance to get it for 200, but i need to know whether its good enough.

[brokenboardsmedia]

@drscaryman i got one for 226 including taxes its realy good i like it

[SuperStevenHarper]

I just bought the 32gb Playbook online @ Futureshop for $199.

[fish66661]

i got the 32gb for $250

[HoigeyBoobsLOL]

I'm considering getting this for web browsing because it's so cheap

[MrLolmaster101]

@HoigeyBoobsLOL u must mean inexpensive

[HoigeyBoobsLOL]

@MrLolmaster101 cheap is a word

[MrLolmaster101]

@HoigeyBoobsLOL yea it means inexpensive get wot u pay for

[saykey2011]

i bought one from bestbuy for a price of 242 32gb modal and i am happy that i did.

[AUDIR8ofNY96]

is this the new laptop, could it replace them and support microsoft

[amari206]

I have two questions.

1.Does this have a slot to plug in headphones?

2.Is there a way to connect this to a printer?

[JasonRipped]

@amari206 are you retarded, he said there is a 3.5mm jack..

[amari206]

@JasonRipped STFU my sound on my computer dont work.

[RJulien97]

Getting this for £169 from PC World :D

[mikewhitehead50]

@RJulien97 me too!

[joeyxc4]

HE SOUNDS LIKE ICE KING!!!!

[Roshan3L]

where is the niko bellic :/

[SchoolprojectBM]

Another Question: I do not have a blackberry or been with them ever. Do I need to have one or have had one to get the playbook

[rizelmine17]

@SchoolprojectBM let me put it this way, the play book is a piece of garbage with a monitor without a BB, with a BB however its your hot sexy secretary that takes care of all of your work stuff and you can just kick back and stare at her ass

[Squirt4757]

@TW11452 actually it depends. The fire doesn't have any cameras, but the Playbook lacks apps. For now, that is :)

[Squirt4757]

@motley666cobain sure

[motley666cobain]

can you put your itunes music and video on this?

[SchoolprojectBM]

should i get the playbook or the new kindle

[importfighter]

@SchoolprojectBM playbook especially if its $300 bucks after christmas!

[TW11452]

@SchoolprojectBM kindle

[smithlee07]

RIM is a sinking toilet ship ! Dont buy their shitty playbook or their 1990s blackberry. They should be dead like Pallm around Xmas next year !

[alexkkowalski]

im 6'2 200 lbs and ive had a playbook for 2 months and i didn't even notice this "power button" problem until i saw these idiots online complaining about it...

[theigneo]

POKEMON RED VERSION !

[narutokyubi102]

going to get the 32gb on bestbuy.com

[mitsri1991]

i got a brand new playbook for $155 including Taxes from a RIM employee

[honeypot11]

@mitsri1991 aw man you're so lucky, i don't suppose theres anyway for some random person without a RIM connection to get a deal like that rofl

[AznNumba15]

@mitsri1991 Got one for free from Stacker. :)

[miistuhsteven]

@mitsri1991 how?

[DnAProductions10]

@mitsri1991 you can get them for 199 any size at wallmart..

[mitsri1991]

@DnAProductions10 lol....just yesterday i came to know that i m not getting it, some complications got involved....

i m in canada (which means more taxes) and even the new playbook64gb playbook goes for 299. I dont wanna spend that much

[DickHead69able]

@mitsri1991 i got mine for free by stealing from the back of a van

[mitsri1991]

@DickHead69able hell yeah...I did hear about a van getting stolen somewhere in Northeast of US.....

[Kaiserflame1]

lol, the power button is fine, u DON'T need to use your finger nails... -.-

[BigAndyCarroll]

You can use 3g on it if you have a 3g blackberry phone aswell.

[fxsaberboy]

Can this be expanded to 32GB or higher with an SD card or something similar?

[missyjellyfish]

@fxsaberboy there is a 32GB model available aswell

[fxsaberboy]

@missyjellyfish Yeah but I am poor. I bought the 16 from Bestbuy but it will probably get back ordered...

[missyjellyfish]

@fxsaberboy well they are selling them off cheap. i got my 32 for £199 from the carphone warehouse

[cesiux141196]

its 200 bucks on bestbuy now its on sale!

[KazzMANIAjr]

does it do both portrait and landscape orientations

[drizzy645]

@KazzMANIAjr yes it does

[MclovinBELLIEL]

accent*

[MclovinBELLIEL]

i hate your voice.



[gurcikaa]

:) can i install on it programs like a skype or a ovooo ? :) 

[KINGaventadorify]

can you take movies, music, and tv shows (not apps or podcasts) off of itunes and put them on it?

[PREZYDENTSport]

its a great cool tablet , you have to have it

[PREZYDENTSport]

[mohamedzoheir84]

@PREZYDENTSport how is it with you?? on facebook, twitter, and internet in total

[TheLovely7094]

[jaygis]

[TheJammyjoker13]

[AndrewTopping123]

@craftyralph11 I am also getting this for Christmas, I got mine for £225 from Amazon at about October 20th. Personally I think it's quite a bargain.

[BigAndyCarroll]

@craftyralph11 Nahh mate you can get it for £169 on carphone warehouse!

[craftyralph11]

@BigAndyCarroll i got mine free wiv a contracted frone

[dangcucu]

Daaaagg i wanted the kindle fire but this is on sale for 199. @radioshack til the end of the week. I got the ad flyer so I may just visit best buy/walmart. Best Web browsing & cheap price

[lar19951]

[Wanted19922009]

THIS IS NOT A TABLET , MY FUCKING PHONE IS BIGGER THAN THIS THING

[divinestrike]

@Wanted19922009 troll, you carry around a 7inch phone, which is the size of phones 70s

[Wanted19922009]

@divinestrike a 7 inch device is not a phone , it's a tablet with a voice call troll

[AndrewSmith00000007]

@Wanted19922009 Obviously you are using first gen cellphone. Get a new one. They are a lot smaller.

[Wanted19922009]

@AndrewSmith00000007 AM USING GALAXY TAB 7 PLUS , GO GOOGLE IT AND STOP BEING A RETARD

[AndrewSmith00000007]

@Wanted19922009 First, you said your phone is bigger than playbook. Now, you are claiming it is tablet with same screen size of playbook. Who's retard now?
