Pretty awesome
Phone owned for less than 3 months

I was a bit hesitant at first, since a lot of people would only consider an iPad, but I am really happy I chose the Playbook. Firstly, the UI is really smooth and easy to use, the tablet is extremely well-built with a beautiful screen, and it surfs the internet, plays videos, and goes through emails perfectly.

My friend also tested out the Blackberry and Playbook connection functionality and that was pretty cool. Basically instantaneously beamed photos from the Blackberry to my Playbook and vice versa.

The micro-USB and micro-HDMI connectivity is an added bonus, as I like seeing stuff on my giant monitor.

The camera isn't perfect, as it could have a few more megapixels, but it still works great, easy to use, fast, and good quality photos.
