Right around the corner! I'll have to go check it out. Thanks. Did you get your keyboard yet? -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Larry Southerland Sent: Monday, April 09, 2012 7:18 PM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Just a thought... Do you have an Office Depot near you? They are running the same type sale, but they have them physically in stock, so you could try it before you left, plus they have a 14 day return policy. Also, right now, they are having 25% off Playbook accessories. (They also have the new Archos Android Tablets on sale there too.) -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of RecklessMaverick Sent: Monday, April 09, 2012 7:13 PM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Just a thought... Yes, but it does make you think twice. May still order another one. Or might go for a cheap Android. -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Larry Southerland Sent: Sunday, April 08, 2012 12:08 AM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Just a thought... I see (said the blind man). OTOH, one must avoid over-generalizing from one bad production unit. The odds of getting another one should be infinitesimally small. -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of RecklessMaverick Sent: Saturday, April 07, 2012 11:57 PM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Just a thought... The 64 GB unit is available online only at Radio Shack. I would have simply swapped it if they had had one in stock. -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Larry Southerland Sent: Saturday, April 07, 2012 11:21 PM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Just a thought... Since the 90day support period is based upon the serial number, you could have replaced it as defective at Radio Shack and demanded a new one, testing it out before you left. Then your 90 day support period would only start once you registered the new device. The Shack would have had to return it to RIM. -----Original Message----- From: pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:pctechtalk-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of RecklessMaverick Sent: Saturday, April 07, 2012 10:49 PM To: pctechtalk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: -=PCTechTalk=- Re: Blackberry Playbook They said defective. Wanted me to wait for a box to send it back then wait for them to check it out then wait for them to repair (or replace it with a refurbished unit) and then wait for them to ship it back. That's too much time for such a short support period (90 days) especially if I got a refurb unit as a replacement. I returned it to Radio Shack for a refund. Still deciding if I want to try it again.

I took two pictures with the camera and cannot delete them. Where is the delete button? Please don't tell me I have to plug into my computer to manage files on it. I think the touch screen is screwed up. Sometimes a light tap or touch with the ball of my fingertip works, sometimes a light tap with my fingernail, sometimes a hard punch with the tip of my finger and many many many times nothing works at all. And the buttons hidden in the corners are the worst. Small and hard to touvh, tap and/or punch just right to get results.
