Blackberrys Playbook Tablet Hidden Fail!

[Captinsmooth]

News reports from 2011 CES are stating that the only way to get your email on the Blackberry Playbook tablet is with a Blackberry phone, besides going through the web browser to a site like gmail. This is due to the secure nature of how blackberry mail and messenger work. But, this is no reason for them not to have made another type of mail client.

This will most likely be a huge turnoff for many prospective buyers that don't own a Blackberry phone already, even current Blackberry owners may find this an inconvenience. So much for those Ipad killer reports.

I heard about this. It is such a fail!

[Cowboy]

Big fail

[StealthBravo]

I cant believe they would actually do that

[Cowboy]

Very stupid move on there part.
How is that customer friendly at all.
Maybe for business that have to carry bb but for everyday jo shmo this is stupid

[StealthBravo]

Its not very user friendly at all

[Cowboy]

Never seen one personally but i dont like black berry os in general if you want to do anything you have to go through at least 3 different pages. I carried one for a long time but as iphone and android came out i never looked back.
Bb needs to do some major changes to there os and phones hardware or there going to drop off soon

Blackberry OS is a generation behind. I tried playing with a torch, nice phone, just wasnt much to do with it.

Yeah I don't get it either, I have to use a blackberry for work but the only reason they are popular is due to there ability to handle corporate IT policy. It is a very solid but behind the times OS. I can't see this resulting in anything good for them.
