Wow- I'm glad I did not discover this board & thread until after I received my Playbook. I have to disagree with the first 5 or so opinions about not getting the Playbook- it fits my needs perfectly.

I'm not a business professional (in the conventional sense) at all- I got the PB for internet connectivity, apps, leisure and some portability for meetings, etc: I like it just fine.

Good build quality- no hiccups on setup- plenty of support videos on RIM/BB to answer most questions on initial set-up & orientation.

I entertained the thought of the Kindle Fire or B&N Tablet, but I wanted a true tablet, not an e-reader with some tablet functions.


To the gentleman contemplating the purchase for his granddaughter? Buy it- she won't be disappointed.
