Tweet Very famous for their smartphones and recently voted as the number one brand in SA for young people, BlackBerry has also, like much of the competition, taken to tablets. Its Wi-Fi only 7" PlayBook is the result and we must say that we've taken a liking to it.

I bought my Playbook back in May or June. My laptop was really playing up and as I run my own very s

Good price; great for internet browsing; good battery life

Wont work on ebay; typings difficult

Fast; that's about it

no apps

Just bought in combo with the blackberry classic. I was looking for a tablet smaller in size, that was quick and was not apple. The playbook has good features, fits well in your hands and feels well made. While I've only had it for 3 days the only drawback I see is the apps.

Satisfied with seller. Playbook 64gb received like new. I do recommend first time buyers to look around for an oem "Rapid Travel Charger" because the micro usb charger is really slow about getting the job done.

I had gotten the Blackberry Playbook 64MB a month ago. It's changed my world. I love I can bridge it to my Blackberry phone and no extra data service costs, the WIFI works awesome too. It connects very easily. It's the perfect size to carry around or fit into my purse. It came with a nice case.

Great product! Very responsive. Easy set up out of the box. I figured how to load android apps on it so it is even better now. Great screen resolution. Limited availability of apps, but for the price its definitely worth it.
