Wtf??????
Please Login to Remove!
I got a PB today and cannot be more disspointed but maybe you guys have some answers that would keep me from returning this piece of s$?!.
1.- already know att won't allow the bridge connection so it leaves me with just wifi
2.- cannot pair it with my torch for some reason
3.- i cannot download any android apps because i don't have a android phone registered
so what can i use this tablet for?
am i doing something wrong?

Re: Wtf??????
1) For now, that is true.
2) Can you clarify? Do you get an error? What are you doing to pair?
3) The PlayBook can't run Android apps yet. Why download?

Re: Wtf??????
1) To download the Bridge on an AT&T BB, go to BlackBerry App World - BlackBerry Bridge from your BB (h t t p://bit.ly/blackberrybridge)

Re: Wtf??????
Go here and download alx and install via DM
Multiupload.com - upload your files to multiple file hosting sites!
Extract the zip file
Plug in device>Open Desktop Manager
Select Apploader>Add/Remove Applications
Select Add
Browse where the file is
Select the .alx file and Select Open>Select Next
AT&T can only stop you from downloading, not installing and using.
Cheers,

Re: Wtf??????
AT&T users who encounter the message that Bridge is not supported on ATT may try this OTA (over the air) links directly from their BlackBerry browser:

Re: Wtf??????
You must be doing something wrong, I got the software from the link in post #3 - just checked it and it still connects to the dropbox site perfectly
After I downloaded the bridge and successfully installed on my torch, I went to Staples and set up the bridge on the demo unit with no issues at all - except that the bar code scan wasn't playing nice. I selected manual, my BB picked up the playbook via bluetooth, confirmed the ID number, entered the passcode and done.
I was even able to browse the internet using the 3G from my BB.
For a "beta" unit it seems really nice, but I will not purchase one until:
The AT&T issue is officially settled
They get BES working
They get BBM working
There are some real Apps in Appworld worth downloading
The Android compatibility App is released
Otherwise I will just get a Galaxy Tab 8.9 and call it a day.
I am willing to wait, but not forever, otherwise you never wind up buying a tablet, since a new, better one will be released every 3-4 months.
