tablets, not pills.

i bought a playbook, was ok within its limits. my folks use it now, to browse web on their settee via hdmi

it was always going to be a roulette, with any new technology

i'm going to check out contract deals also.. if the unit is £550 anyway for 3/4G it could be worth moving my data allowance to that instead of my phone. :pop:

I've got a Playbook and was quite happy with the Playbook itself. The problem was with the poor standard of native apps. I found my self using mainly sideloaded Android apps but it was difficult to find converted apps and no updates were available. I had hoped things would improve with BB10 but BlackBerry reneged on their original promise to release it for Playbook. Hence me buying the Prestigio last weekend.

thats very true alan. the hardware was fine, software also, once on BB2.
i had to sideload apps from android, it was just frustrating it didnt have the promised support and infrastructure.

Depending on your phone tariff / contract, that could be a way to go, or not
Ive just got myself on Three's The One plan ( or Ultimate Plan - something like that) - £15 a month for unlimited data, including tethering to any device, and once 4G is available, there will not be a tariff premium and will still be unlimited. Guess it depends on whether youll generally have your phone with you when using mobile services but that might also be beneficial for phone use as well as tablet use.
I used just under 9Gb for this first month on Three

how have you found three for customer service, and signal? :woowoo:

Havent had to speak to their customer service - which from what I understand is a good thing - but as long as they do their job properly, I wont ever need to.
Signal for me is better than EE as I was before. Browsing speeds are faster in general but I'd even take a small hit on speed for the peace of mind I dont have to worry about apps updating, syncing stuff and streaming whatever wherever.

Speed-wise, I have recorded 12Mb/s download and just shy of 2Mb/s upload which is ridiculous - and thats not 4G. Using uTorrent, i have been able to download at 1Mb/s over the mobile network. Crazy really.

having looked at the contract deals, EE are cheaper than Orange (quite why because theyre the same people?) and Three the cheapest by a long way. :pop:

done :woowoo: we'll see.

done what?

ordered the Sony.

it better not be rubbash.

ooh im a little bit jealous I think...
where from?
