I bought 2 playbook here in the UAE. I am planning to bring one to the Philippines as a gift. Just recently one of them refused to turn on and charge. I tried all sorts of methods described in the net but none of them worked. So I brought it back to where I purchased it. They in turn delivered it to the repair center. The center replaced my unit stating that it had a faulty engine. Is this a common occurrence with the playbook? Is there reason to think that my other playbook would have the same problem? Now I am afraid to bring them to the philippines because they are not covered by international warranty.

no you do not need a bb handset,internet tethering can also help you to connect to internet,the only thing that you need is a phone which has a bluetooth option in it

Been using my PB for about 2 months and like it but it is not perfect...
Today I got notice of update 2.1.0.1526, anybody knows what this is about?
By the why, today I got my BB leather journal case for it and I am a bit disappointed to say the least. Leather? In which universe?

So, with the CES release of new BlackBerry gear, we note that PlayBook will -soon- have a BlackBerry OS10 upgrade available... Details? And, if not now, WHEN?

Hi all,
I just started to use BB and Playbook for a week ...
Inside the "Playbook - Blackberry Bridge Message", I can read message, I can download attachments, but then when it state " Tag to open", no matter how I tag where I tag, it just did not open.
But I can open all in Blackberry, of course.
My Playbook version is 2.1 and it comes with Doc-to-go.
Any suggestions are deeply appreciated.

Playbook is an awesome device/tablet, as a fanatic fan of blackberry and a proud owner of playbook and bold i cannot wait for the launch of the playbook os upgrade to os 10. It's perfect for a place like Port Harcourt City, Nigeria.

BB OS 10 will be coming to PB later. But heard somewhere that new update for PB OS 2.1.0.1492 had arrived. Anybody got this update? Can you please share details for the same.

Solution, buy a rapif trael charger with magnetic pogo 2 pin where you can charged your playbook. That is what I am using now. Yon can always transfer files to and from your computer to your playbook thru your wifi network.
