BlackBerry PlayBook 4G |
The buyer isn't so much worried about the money he lost. His main concern is that he purchased a stolen device and soon will be wearing prison garb and getting three squares a day courtesy of the taxpayers. In case you are wondering, the tablet does say, "Property of Research in Motion Limited" Evaluation Unit. Not for sale or lease."

it's gotta be from the truck of stolen bb playbooks a while back...

Easy solution: contact RIM and offer to give it back. Since the buyer clearly wanted a Playbook (and since its now publicized), RIM will probably just trade his for a retail version.

"the buyer was a little stunned because what he had purchased was a BlackBerry PlayBook 4G Evaluation Unit"
Did you miss this part? Or is reading comprehension > you?

I believe Sprint and Verizon both offered the Playbook WiFi and at least Sprint had committed to releasing a Playbook 4G with WiMax, that was until they decided to change to LTE. If recent Playbook sales meet RIM's expectations, they may move forward with releasing an LTE Playbook in the future. OS2.0 is much better than the previous version. And with Android apps, it has a lot of potential. Besides, where else can you get a tablet with Playbook specs for under $200.
1GHz TI OMAP Processor
1GB RAM
Dual 1080p cameras 5mp rear and 2mp or 3mp front
Slick OS with awesome multitasking
Excellent build quality
7" form factor is great for portability (some prefer 10", I know)
I bought a 16GB from Sprint for $199 and it is an excellent little tab to carry around and do just about anything.

Verizon never decided to pick up the playbook. They made all the employees do the most ridiculous training but didn't ever carry it

rim has done a pretty good job so far with the playbook. its no ipad, they need a lot of help with their phones. android and ios are kicking their ass, they just got to big of heads. if they can put the same love in to their phones they could real do something

I've had my PlayBook for nearly a year now and I have to say it's my primary computing device. Especially when it comes to web browsing. The browser is just phenomenal. The apps have been getting better and now with Android apps being ported over that's just another feather in the cap.
With all the PIM apps there now, and they are very good, I don't understand why the media keeps beating up this wonderful device. They should have been there from the start, no denying that. But that's old news and they're here now.
At the current price point, it's a hard one to beat. Way more function than the Kindle Fire.
