Retailers are definitely purging PlayBook stocks. Just like Brightstar, Maxis is also offering combo deals with hefty discounts on the PlayBook when you purchase the tablet together with a BlackBerry smartphone and subscribe to Maxis’ BIS90 with a 24 months contract.
Details from Maxis official Facebook page:
Bold 9900 + 16GB PlayBook = RM2,380 (RM99/mth*)
Bold 9780 + 16GB PlayBook = RM1,730 (RM72/mth*)
Torch 9810 + 16GB PlayBook = RM2,260 (RM94/mth*)
Torch 9800 + 16GB PlayBook = RM1,930 (RM80/mth*)
Pearl 9105 + 16GB PlayBook – RM1,030 (RM43/mth*)
*24mths 0% EPP with MayBank.
*Upgrade to 32GB PlayBook by top up RM260 & 64GB PlayBook by top up RM560.
The offering from Maxis is slightly better from what Brightstar is giving because it includes the latest Bold 9900 in the promotion and the selection of devices is better. Still, we see more BlackBerry users using the iPad than the PlayBook. If you’re a BlackBerry fan would you get a PlayBook now?
my PB arriving tmrw! PB only.
Been using Playbook for a while. Quite frustrated with its limited functionality, ie the bridging process, which then only enables the emails messages (sms not enabled), calenders, and other things. Plus, the files are all clumped together. So, if you have many documents stored in the Playbook, it is a disaster to search through. Often times, need to pull battery out and put it back in from my 9700 to bridge to Playbook when the connection is lost. Plus, the choice of Apps are very limited, and not worth downloading, even if its given free.
Of course, there's been some major announcement and showcase on the next software update, recently. And also a list of new Apps which is worth buying/downloading. But then again, they are mostly games. Really really looking forward to the software upgrade where android apps can be used… or change to Ipad?
looks too pricy
