CrackBerry Poll: Which BlackBerry PlayBook are you going to buy?

32GB FTW!!!!!

Just enough space, not too much price!

March 27th!

Undecided between 16GB/32GB. Passing on the 64GB.

16gb for me

here's my rationale:

the reason i would get the largest size of any device would be to be able to fit most if not all my media on it. since 64gb is way too small to fit the terrabytes of videos i have, i would feel the same constraint as if i purchased the 16gb. it doesn't make that big of a difference.

so i'll happily save $200 by going with the 16gb, and seek streaming methods so that at least when i'm around the house i can stream my library. when im out, all i need is to copy on whatever it is i want to watch THAT day.

16GB in my Storm and 16GB in my PlayBook. That will be ample.

Waiting for the 4G one on T-Mobile! :)

iPad 2 :)

64gb unless i can do a micro sd card with that adapter to mini usb, but I'm not sure because people are saying you can't do that. If it turns out i can then ill probably do a 16gb and keep those cards in the case i get for it. But i need the extra space for work pictures, documents, movies for when I'm bored, games for when I'm bored, and other stuff. but were definitely coming up on the launch.

How is that competitive if the iPad2 is 10" with the same memory?

Im looking at the 16gb size.

I have an 8gb ipod touch for gaming and gym purposes, and barely have that full.

16gb on a tablet will be great for apps, as for movies, as long as i can watch anime on it and thats 25 episodes on 5 gigs, i'll be set - Heres to hoping for lots of media codecs included

It really is to bad there isn't an SD slot :-( peRhaps the pb2 will have one

16GB = $31/GB
32GB = $19/GB
64GB = $11/GB

Doing the math, I'd say 32GB is the best deal for me - someone who doesn't take a lot of long trips and uses it purely for entertainment.

A traveling businessman could easily make the case for 64GB.

Playbook 64G wifi only and blackberry torch 9800....i want tethering feature of playbook

Is there an app uses airplay and on the BB framework?

16GB wifi for me,

I'll still be carrying my BB and that will be used to play music and bridge my emails etc. The occasional movie will be on the PB, but other than that it's all MS office and pdf for work, books and web browsing at home. 16gb will suffice for a couple of years.

That is unless i just decide on the extra ££ to get the 32GB as a treat.

I will get the 16gig. I would just to know if we are able to play hulu or make gmail calls with the Playbook because it's supposed to be a full Internet experience. Any coments or answered?

what's the use of variant [16g, 32g and 64g] if the specs includes sdcard slot? its just OK if no sdcard slot, just use sdcard reader via usb

This all depends on whether the PB can access the files on the MicroSD in my 9700. I have a 32gb microsd in my 9700 with all of my music. Since I always have my 9700 with me anyway, I see no reason to double up with everything on my PB too. Of course, we also don't know much about app size and how much the system takes up. Thus, it might be that the os plus a dozen apps eats up 5gb or so - maybe more - who knows.

I am torn between 16 and 32.

So glad I did not get the IPad 2 oversize phone the QNX will be like a computer. 16G maybe the 32 G

Going with the Ipad 2

16gb sounds about right for me!

Whichever version RIM is shipping to people who have an app approved for App World =)

Just when I though things couldn't get any worse, they did. I've been dying for the Playbook to be released and I've been so caught up with just wanting to get the Playbook at launch date that I forget having read that the 4G models would be out around the summer. Nooooooooooooooo! What a heart break!!!! I can't wait that long!!!!! But I must have the Playbook, only hard descision I thought I had was which network would I pick, but no 4G tablet at launch....bummer *sighs*

It's not Monday for nothing. :/
Guess I'll just keep studying for dreaded math.

3G/4G all the way. Got a wi-fi only device in the iPod touch. Won't make that mistake again.

I'm getting whichever one RIM decides to give me as part of the free playbook for developers :)

lets see - why would I get a playbook...

- I'll have to wait another 12+ month before apps on the playbook will run on my BB phone (if they will at that time - since there is no info on QNX phones)
- there are no/little apps for the playbook (at least compared to the competition)
- ipad is already establishing a huge presence in the corporate world, and what % of consumers are going to go for BB over android or ipad

way too little, way too late. Playbook will have its followers, but will not get mass adoption....majority of analysts and tech writers agree.

BB has not released anything in a very long time that has taken the world by storm (intentional reference)...perhaps if they were releasing QNX phones at the same time of the tablet it might have a shot at creating a new ecosystem...but as usual BB can't execute.

It all depends on the pricing... 32GB seems about right to me, but should RIM increase the pricing in $50 increments instead of $100 increments then I'd go for the 64GB model. $200 for 48GB of flash seems rather expensive to me.

If I don't get a free one for my app (which I'm assuming will be a 16GB) then I will probably go all the way for a 64.

Not going to buy one, anyone! I am going to win one from Crackberry!!!! YES

In a perfect world I would get one, but I can't justify the price at this time. Would love it and think it's an awesome device, but definitely a luxury at this time.

I am not sure what to belive at this point. Only time will tell but I would definetly get the 32GB with some accessories for it. Can't wait.

I thought you could pair your BB for automatic tethering with the playbook. So why would anybody wait for a 3g 4g version.

Some of the demo showed a spot on the bottom that might have one but if it doesn't have one I'll pass.

I’m waiting for a 10" PlayBook with SD slot, 2 way HDMI, and replaceable batteries.

I wonder if Netflix will makes it's app for the playbook.

16 GB wifi--- now get release it already

THIS IS TORTURE..!

i will be going with the 32G and hopefully tethering it to my storm

Ipad 2 if not that then ipad 1.

I know I will wait for a month or two before getting one. I'm also thinking of waiting till Verizon gets the PlayBook also.

I always try to get as much memory/storage as possible. These things are expensive enough, I'd hate to get a smaller capacity device, then run out of room.

Android tablet better, way to go iPad s**ks big time

64GB WiFi. With my BlackBerry smartphone, I will be able to do 3G. I hate the different memory sizes -- too much like Apple! It limits choice. Why not a 16 GB version with a microSD slot or a microSDXC slot? Okay microSDXC is still a ways away :( Flash memory slots give users more choice!!!

How about if the Playbook would release itself. You fanboys get happy over nothing. Go into a store and check one out. Wait that's the second iPad that just came out running iPad apps and not android apps. My BAD

If i wanted an iPad, I would already have one.
I will go big on PB so that I don't relive my disappointment with going Curve then Bold.

lol this crap is never coming out...who cares the Ipad has it on lock, plus there are a million of these

According to the poll, more than half the people are not getting the PB. I realize that the number of people that get on Crackberry is a very small insignificant number compared to the total number of BB owners, but still. Since most of the people on this site are BB fanboys that should be a cause for concern I would think.

16G, 32G, what's the point....its still not available and it is still a guessing game when it will be sold in stores!! Its the longest product preview and frankly getting a bit boring when iPad now is already 2, so is Samsung Galaxy Tab, even Motorola launched theirs already. I was excited for the Blackberry but it just an insult when day after day RIM shows of the Playbook but we just keep sucking it up......I am just getting pissed! Its like an itch you can't scratch........RIM, Mike deliver man!! I am so close to buying the iPad 2 or Samsung at least I can get it. Hell...just forget it....I'll wait for Playbook 2 if it ever gets there.

I would love a playbook but... 16gb with SD integration would have been perfect for me since I would have loved this to have replace my netbook for travelling. now im considering I'll wait it out until the next iteration...

especially if USB OTG is not present.

64 Gig WiFi only.
It will be out first, and I'll just use my MiFi card when there's no WiFi!

None. I still don't see the point of a tablet, being Playbook, iPad or whatever.

OK - HONESTLY now ... how many folks here have a Scotti-vest to carry about their Playbook (or Xoom) and how many will really try to push a 7" tablet in their pockets?

I find anything bigger than my Blackberry (or iPod Touch ... close enough to iPhone in size) a real pain in shirt, jacket or cargo pants pockets - I used to carry a HP Windows CE PDA about with me ... I know! Is anybody REALLY claiming that the portability of the smaller screen size is an advantage over the larger iPad screen. My HP Jornado was always carried in my hand or in my backpack - I really cannot see any tablet (Playbook, Xoom or iPad) being pocketable. I CRINGE every time I see TV advert with guy pushing his Kindle into his jeans pocket ... as soon as be sits down - AARGH!
